Here's our (my company's) submission:

Front page (128K)
This is one of my favorites. It's very clean and uncluttered (except for the left menu of doom inherited from the current site).

I'd suggest more purple though. It looks predominately green to me.

IStormy, thanks for your comments

Actually, if our design is eventually considered as an option, I think we could go over some purple decorations insted of green, in case that was developers' choice

Larry the Cow was a bit frustrated with his web site. The Linux web sites seemed to be just a bunch of the same old stuff. Nothing cool, nothing professional. Then Larry launched a web design contest. He was impressed. He found out that the Gentoo users were not only Linux users, but were also keen on web design and linux artwork. All that Larry was dreaming about was here on the forum, one template after the other, with lots of nice colors, photos and fonts. Larry opened his mail box and could see all the eye-candy web sites that he was dreaming about. All of the sudden Larry the Cow felt Gentoo was also a nicer distro, and he liked it.

As an update to the previously announced website redesign contest, a number of excellent submissions were received from our users. Overall, we had more than two dozen responses from which five have been selected as finalists. We are currently awaiting confirmation from those finalists that they are indeed willing to complete their design and participate in the actual project. As soon as we have those confirmations, we will post the five finalists and allow the community to select a winner.

Wow, I wouldn't be able to do so with Dreamweaver.
