Some of the differences I’ve seen between ‘nice’ or ‘clean’ sites like yours and really captivating, solid designs:

Depth- textures and drop shadow work wonders when they are done right.

Rich photography/media- Used in a manner which balances color/texture and content areas of a site. This site is definitely super low on graphics.

Something different- at least one page element that does something really cool- could be UI feature, a nice simple animation can be enough to pass.. I’ve been thinking about looking more into JS and list interactions- might be a good way to go for a programmer ;)

Enjoyed reading your blog!
