- simple, clean, elegant
- nice logo
- perhaps some background image for menu bar or buttons (maybe a little 
gradient)
- the search should be closer to the top of the page and better 
emphasized, right now you dont' see it unless you are specifically 
looking for it

- simple and clean is good, but if the site looks like it was created in 
1994 then I think we are stepping on our own toes
- not a whole lot of images, and no rotating images (like animated gifs)
- dont go all red and white, (but if it is all red and white make sure 
there is more white then red).
- When everything is red it is hard to differentiate visually links from 
emphasized text from borders from headers from background colors
