Default Which type of layout do you prefer?

Yes, i wanted to know what type of design/layout people like on the web, do you like, simplistic, really only a bit of CSS and XHTML and no images, the golden middle way with a bit of everything, totally flashy with lots of images and colours?

What if it then should be a tool from which you could monitor your server? :)
I'm working on my summer project, which is a "simple" yet powerful server monitor, and i have no what it should look like :)

You serious? Complex designs only get in the way of the content. People don't come to your site to marvel at your design skills, so that only leaves...

True, but if you wan't a sort of business look, i think it is best to keep it flashy yet simple, but i haven't got any ideas :S

As long as you don't have Flash, and don't go ape shit on the images, then we will have nothing to complain about.

>.< My past two sites (actually, they're just versions of my portfolio) are just CSS. CSS doesn't help so much, man. I miss my gradients and rounded corners.

I also miss my Photoshop :(

Rounded coners will be available in CSS3 :D
And gradients can be done using CSS as far as i remember... I think Kalle showed that to me once :)

No rounded corners > Unsemantic Markup

and that CSS3 is still in development as far as I'm concerned. 60% of the population still use IE6.
