What do you mean by "professional"?

Persoanlly, I think the FreeBSD.org site is one of the best on the entire w=

It's clean, functional and everything is available within a few clicks whic=
h=20
make it appear highly professional to me. (Yes, i've done some web design i=

my time too).  Now that I think about it, it reminds of the design philosop=

Google have chosen to use.  If "plain and simple" is good enough for a=20
multi-billion dollar company like Google which is accessed by approximately=

half of the worlds internet users multiple times per day then I think that=

same design style is good enough for FreeBSD.

Or did you mean "professional" from a marketing point of view with the gene=

masses of the internet population as a target?  Do you want flash animation=

fancy graphics and stuff which add nothing but eye candy to a site?
