Best advice I could give would be to take a look at a few sites and find one that you like the look of.
It may be in a totally unrelated field – but it will be a poretal for information that you go back to time and time again.
Take a look at it’s layout an components and see what it is that makes you like it – use it – revisit it.
Work out how you can emulate that in your own site.
good luck mate.
