Clean landing page

I mentioned that your SharePoint site should be clean and simple and have search on it. Well what does that mean visually? Trust Michael O’ Donovan to provide the perfect screen shot in his last post, well actually not in his last post but in the attachments on his last post:

This is clean (duh), it’s easy to use (people can find the content easily), search is there (and has focus because it’s in the centre) and it’s familiar (remind you of any search engines).

yeah but it's ugly! :P
I wouldn't call it ugly, just not pretty. It's functional and for an internal site that you should only see for a few seconds while you get to the data, thats more important.
