| Well, you got through the first step - recognising they need
improvement! I reckon you should give it a go yourself because you know
better than anyone else how they should look.
But first take a look at http://www.webpagesthatsuck.com/

AdWords won't do a darn thing for you if you can't convert those clicks
to sales, and conversion is about having the right content there at the
landing page. Most often people are convinced by results. They want
100% assurance that you can deliver what they are after, and if you
don't have what they are after, NOTHING will convince them.
My suggestion is to narrow your focus rather than broaden it, because
different designers have different strengths. For example, one of my
strengths is design for B2B IT clients. I know my customer and their
target audience well enough to either nail the status quo (which they
find comforting) or achieve what they're after based on their project
requirements.
Narrow your focus to a design project you KNOW you can nail.
In the beginning, it's OK to copy/echo other people's designs in order
to find your own. Without doing that, you don't have a real useful
design vocabulary.
Best of luck!

Yeah, add that to the list of corporate buzzwords that make me want to go

It has been around since the 1920s, at least. German Modernist design
movements were certainly fond of it.
