Sources of Inspiration

Codrops has a collection of Blueprints with many different menu ideas.

I also really like the menu from Trunk.js.

There are lots of ideas in the footer design gallery.

More emphasis on key functions

Not all controls hold the same importance. For example, on a screen for creating a new item, you may have two buttons: “Create” and “Cancel.” The “Create” link is more important because that’s what the user will be doing most of the time. Only rarely will they need to cancel the screen. So if these controls are located side by side, you may not want to give both the same emphasis.
