I had a brief thought of that too, but I quickly dismissed it because it
really *isn't* corporate-looking...
I swear I'm not joking about this: *Real* corporate sites are:
1. Covered with obviously-stock photos of evenly-distributed
easily-identifiable ethnicities (nothing mixed or ethnicly-ambiguous),
with 50%/50%/0% gender ratio (if anything, biased towards black females
with 90's "hip" curly-poofy hairstyles), all in suits with
unrealistically gigantic "Gosh I *LOVE* working in IT and/or customer
support call center" smiles.
2. *All* the text across the entire page is completely vacuous, highly
subjective *at best*, and generally carries no real meaning whatsoever.
So while there are some corporate-like elements (flat shading, clean
straight lines, limited saturated-colors palette - all of which are just
as "modern" as they are "corporate") this mockup, overall, is definitely
*not* very corporate-looking IMO.
