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.
