Here are some websites that I like the design of and which I may be able to use some ideas from when designing the website:
The MSA website has a smooth and easily readable menu bar at the top and round shaped buttons with shading. The HRCR website has a good design which heads each page, with a photo fading out of a solid colour. The logo at an angle fills the rest of the solid coloured bar, and provides a theme throughout the website.
