I like the simplicity of http://getmagicnow.com http://getmagicnow.com, which appeared on HN semi-recently.

  Magic previously had a serif font (Times?) and it was just a plain 10 digit phone number. The page was actually really off-putting to users [citation needed] until they eventually fixed it. (Yeah, I don't remember the article outlining that it did. But I remember that it did. Magic started off as a kind of hack or whatever.)

  There was another service that appeared on HN shortly after this did offering a similar service but for small coding projects. Does anyone remember the name?

      I think that's dead now. They haven't replied to my emails in weeks. And never charged me for my first project either. Shame.

If you want to read more about the design process for dropbox's homepage the designer wrote about it here: http://byalicelee.com/dropbox/#homepage http://byalicelee.com/dropbox/#homepage It's cool seeing the initial sketches and the other variants of the page they had considered.

  That was from a previous redesign. There is a newer landing page within in the last month.

    Interesting, I am still seeing the old homepage so maybe you're part of an A/B test (or I am part of the control group?). I can only see the new page when viewing in firefox: http://imgur.com/vl9DyA4 http://imgur.com/vl9DyA4

When I think of simplicity I think of: http://craigslist.org http://craigslist.org ...more links but less "plasticy". Also: http://www.berkshirehathaway.com http://www.berkshirehathaway.com
