Talking about design principles reminds me of the C.R.A.P. theory (contrast, repetition, alignment, proximity) originally from The Non-Designer’s Design Book by Robin Williams.

For anyone who hasn’t heard of the C.R.A.P. principles, here’s a good article: http://usabilityfriction.com/2008/09/08/how-to-make-your-user-interface-crap/

These sites do a lot with very little imagery and using very simple typography. Don’t be afraid of white space!
