1. A computer-implemented method for configuring a web page characterized by an original layout for presentation on a display having a display area, the method comprising:
- receiving web page section data as input, the web page section data representing rectangular sections of the web page, each rectangular section having been derived from the original layout and scaled with reference to a relevance measure for the corresponding rectangular section; and
manipulating the web page section data with reference to the display area to arrange the rectangular sections in a new layout smaller than the original layout.
