If you know what a "color" is, chances are - yes! I am very terrible at web design. That is why the new MM:S site looks so bad:

http://www.metamodsource.net/

I'm looking for something very simple and readable. These are formal project sites so we want to avoid flash, tons of random colors, very dark backgrounds, etc. We eventually want all our sites to use a common, professional looking template.

What we have now is from 2002-2003 and it shows

If anyone has suggestions, such as: other sites to use as inspiration, or if you even want to send me a mockup/drawing, or even drop-in CSS files, I'd be very grateful. Feel free to reply here or contact me at [email protected]

Maybe you can get the layout and design from here.

Seriously, I'd make you a beautiful website, but whatever you can do is probably far better than what I can do.

Personally I like the new design. (White/Black) a lot more than the colors it had before. I would keep it how it is now.

I suggest a light gray background with blue and orange accents.
I'd do it but I can't remember my CSS LOL

I could do it, I'm good with both graphics and web design. New to Javascript though. Example:
