I get that. I'm not bad-mouthing actual design, and there are definitely
good designers out there.
It's unfortunate they're so seriously outnumbered.
As they say, the 99% who are lousy designers give the rest a bad name.

My first impression of this page:
http://www.python.org/~gbrandl/build/html/index.html
was that the grey side-bar gives the page a somber, perhaps even dreary, look.
First impressions count, and I'm afraid that first look didn't work for me.
But clicking through onto other pages with more text improved my feelings. A
big +1 on the pale green shading of code blocks.
The basic design seems good to me. I'd prefer a serif font for blocks of text,
while keeping sans serif for the headings, but that's a mild preference.
Looking forward to seeing the next iteration.
