Web Design Clinic - Ensemble pour l'emploi

Sébastien submitted the site "Ensemble pour l'emploi". It's interesting to me that this design is done in WordPress - as it looks nothing like a blog. This is a great example of how you can use WordPress to manage your site while not running a blog. As for the design, well, that does look like a blog in some ways - or maybe a "Web 2.0" page. There is the now-cliche'd reflections on the navigation, the gradient grey header, the blue and red accents on a black and white page. Because I've seen these design elements so often lately, they bore me. Is there some other color out there than #20a2d4 blue?
