In cases like this, it probably helps to give a  bit  of  information
about what the client may mean by "look great".  For example, some of
us here think that  the  main  page  at  google.com  is  one  of  the
best-looking  pages  on  the  Web.  But many people would reject this
strongly,  and  mean  something  a  lot  more  "artsy".   There's  no
reconciling this sort of difference in taste. Those who like google's
design aren't likely to satisfy those who like a more ornate approach
to design, and vice versa.
