Minimizing browser creates distortion in web pages

Recommended Posts

Hello,

I was wondering why images and buttons in a web page shift when making a web browser smaller (ie. moving one browser to the left side of the desktop to simultaneously have another program open on the right side). 
 
This is the page when the browser is full-screen:

This is an example of what happens when the page is made smaller:

Does this mean that starting a web page with a 'blank page' and then adding elements (images, buttons, etc) will cause distortions in the page? 
Are custom designs on Squarespace unsupported? Right now we have Squarespace 7.1 with the new Fluid Engine function.
 
Hope this is easy to understand as it's complicated to explain.
 
Thank you!

Squarespace's built-in responsive design resizes your content and images to fit different devices and screen widths. For more details, see Responsive design.

@paul2009 Thank you for the articles! I read through them and I saw elements of the page I could change. I made a test page with Squarespace buttons instead of the image buttons I used previously and I have the same problem. The main issue being that the buttons on the page jump around the page when the browser is made smaller.

Here is the link to the test page: https://burgundy-jaguar-fltk.squarespace.com/sundayopinion-2015-1

Is there something that I may be missing in terms of the use of the buttons?

Thank you!
