I'm afraid if you don't understand why that website mockup is boring, no
amount of explaining would do you any good.  Just be sure to stay clear
of a career in graphic design.  For sake of comparison, here's a website
that's 'interesting' as far as visual treatment is concerned.
http://www.java.com

Here's an example of not-quite-as-interesting, but passable:

and here's one that's boring, but not as boring as the Shootout mockup:
http://www.python.org

and here's one that's even more boring, but still not as boring as the
Shootout mockup:
http://caml.inria.fr

What makes a website more visually interesting is left as an exercise to
the reader.
