Content slider with lots of fancy pictures with narrow DOF is a hit these days and a simple way to make a page come alive.
Also, consider using subtle textures on large coloured surfaces.
For instance: http://f.cl.ly/items/310P0r0u0L3f081R080C/ph_texture.jpg
It really does make a huge difference.

Yeah, there's not much reason to start from scratch these days, tbh. 45$ WordPress theme, bit of custom colours, textures and of course logo and content and you're set.
Something like this, but just change background and logo:

Also has the huge benefit of being responsive so fits mobile devices.
