I believe in something that blends in with color. For example for WOW players theres
www.warcraftempire.com I think its clean,crisp and easy to navigate.
For proxy website theres
www.proxagon.com I think it uses a nice color. I like orange. I think orange stands out nicely. Not to many ads. NO Pop-ups thank Goodness.
www.Talkfreelance uses orange very nice and eye catchy. Easy to navigate.
Im sure theres lots out there. Depends what your building and what you have to offer.
I think brown and orange is the new fresh look of 2008. Thats my opinion and thats why I chose those sites.
