    Question Is this design clean and professional or just plain and boring?

    So I've been trying to work on my white space and making themes more clean, etc. so I can do non-media heavy sites like news blogs etc, and for a publishing company I've come up with this design:

    http://dl.dropbox.com/u/17381774/hpm_index.jpg

    Compared to: http://harborpointmedia.com.

    I'm not actually doing work for them, but it's just a dummy design I made. What do you guys think? Is it too plain? Because I'm thinking that it is really plain and not too enjoyable. The only thing I like is the billboard lol.

    P.S. The site design is 90% completed, I didn't feel like designing a posts rss feed box so that's why the boxes are acting as placeholders! Also there are certain elements of the page that wouldn't make it onto the actual design if there ever was one for certain reasons.

    It's definitely better than your old one but I don't like the new one that much

    Thanks for the bashing! I'm really struggling with the simple site concept. It is a corporate site so I decided not to make it too exciting (like I'd make a news site, etc.). These types of sites aren't really my forte!

    I think the logo and main navigation are the only places that need improvement

    I like the new design. I think you are going the right direction with the logo (harbor and gulls), very interesting.

    In my opinion these 3 boxes are too plain and 3 icons beneath them are unattractive. Header and main part of page are nice and clean, however those blue lines on top and bottom of page do not fit here. Design is quite good but I would focus on changing it's lower part and should be fine, good luck

    The 3 boxes were placeholders lol, not what would actually go on the final design (read the first post, last paragraph I think). The blue lines are eh, they may go. I've changed the lower part today!
