I wonder if the fundamental problem is simply that there's such a lot
of
information on the page? With less, it would be possible to give the

easier
to read.
If we take the existing site as a starting point, I'd suggest -
1. experimenting with reversing the darkeness/lightness of
text/background as
perhaps darker text on a lighter background would look better.
2. experiment with removing the olive green heading boxes, and
replacing them
with something in more of a purple/blue shaded grey, and perhaps
either thinner
or no black borders.
3. On the left, perhaps remove the 'Developers' section to a separate
page,
leaving a link to it in the 'Experience' section ... thus making the
page
shorter so it would entirely fit into most peoples browser windows.
4. At the top, get the top of the lefthand box to line up with the
'Welcome to the GNUstep project' box
