Donovan's redesigning our site - maybe he could give you a few ideas. He's come up with like half a dozen designs that he's scrapped.
I actually got the current design (save the turtle) from Open Source Web Design. Sweet site.
Take a look through there guys. If you see a design that stands out and would work for eZabel, let me know.
the design i'm using right now is from Metro01
Honestly, I prefer the "antiseptic" design for the reason that was mentioned: It's text-oriented enough to seem like work. Except for the turtle.
if that's what ian wants, then cool. i'll get used to it. whatever works.
I like Metro1. The others were't as good.
