I want to overhaul http://www.s-tisch.ch/. The layout is fine IMHO

the layout. Do you think it's possible at all? You seem to have the
expertise to make such a judgement...
It should be quite simple to do-- the site appears just to be a
two-column layout with a header and footer which is a classic CSS
layout. For instance, you might like to have a look at
http://www.strictlycss.com/examples/...n-layout-9.asp which is
pretty much the same (although it has a third menu (in green) at the
top which you wouldn't need).

Thanks a bunch for the link. Some nice examples there...
However, they're all a bit different from what I'm really after. I want to
keep the ~30px padding inside the viewport (dark grey in my example). Also,
I need the "box" to stretch to the entire width & height of the viewport.
Last but not least, except for the content area all elements should remain
static (i.e. "in place") when the viewport is resized or the content
requires scrolling.
In my example this is achieved with a frameset inside an iframe, which is
double ugly.

Thanks for your help.

Whatever you do, make it so the design is fluid enough to not produce
this mess when I increase the font size to suit my screen, viewport and
eyesight combination:
