I'm just starting to create a website that supports my business. I want a sleek design oriented site - because that's what I like and it also suits my business. 

Trouble is that all the mocks looks terrible once I start to incorporate Ads into the site. (My ad provider will most likely be Google AdSense - if that matters). 

Has anyone seen a beautiful / design oriented website that incorporates ads? Are there any coding tricks to make the ads less in your face.

Thanks!
