Do simple website designs work?

In theory if the site's loading faster, google likes it more. But maybe those "gurus" have simple websites because they don't know how to make a complicated ones XD
Or they still might have 1gb of joomla installation with lots of custom stuff and garbage cut out code so they look like "gurus" lol

How complicated does a website have to be in order to be properly SEO'd?
As far as visitors, ask yourself this question:
"if I devised a website that was quick, simple and easy to create on my end, without sacrificing anything in terms of SEO (on-page SEO that is) and thus, I was able to get this site ranked on page #1 of Google rather quickly....while maintaining a load time for my visitors that was quick-ass-hell...and once there, they (visitor) were over-loaded with relevant content (In a good way of course)...that made them want to come back time and time again...then how complicated do I need to make this website to accomplish that task, start making money and jump into the next niche?"
How you answer that will depend on how complicated you wish/feel a website should be!
I'll say it this way:
The top three most visited sites in the world are Google, Facebook, and perhaps Youtube in third place.
Check them and then tell me which of them has a complicated design. That will answer your question.

It's hard to go wrong with a clean simple design. A lot of gurus keep their sites simple in order to keep their visitors focused on a very clear cut call to action - i.e. opt in to see this video or get this free report.
Simple can also be pleasing when done right. Best of both worlds, looks nice and professional and not too confusing to users.
When I'm browsing the web I actually prefer simple designs, so I'd assume many others also do. IMO a cluttered design with ads all over the place give your site a more commercial look (or just make it a pain in the ass to read the content) - which in most cases is not what you want.
If Wbsite is simple than it is Good. and it is not effect overall to SEO.
Only content of your website matter.
Always make sure that there is no Flash in the Website.
So simple Looking of the website not matter in SEO.
Thanks.

We humans get bombarded with a ton of stimuli each and every day. What happens after a short while is that we have to filter alot of the content that we go through.
Imagine what would happen if you paid attention to every ad or a snippet of text you see on the internet...
So naturally people have a preference for clean, simple websites that don't require alot of getting around, have very clear layouts or easy to see call to action.

Well it depends on what you're trying to do.
If you want to keep your users attached to your website, say an authority site, you must have content, and a lot of it. Not just rubbish content, stuff that will keep users coming back day after day.
On the other hand, if your key is to make direct sales, you need to keep it with less clutter, and a clear call to action. This is where clean, and simple designs really need to be utilized for good sales.

This is what I learned from steve ** forgot that shit's last name but anyways.
Always remember this "K.I.S.S" - Keep it Simple Stupid
Helped me in a lot of things even outside of IM.
With regards to your concern the site will load faster. It will give a professional look to your site
most people when they see a site with tons of colors, designs or banners and a lot more they will easily get out of the freaking site
And the most important of all is No need for fancy designs if you cannot sell anything!

IMHO the choice of simple or complex depends on the customer you're aiming for. Reproduce their experience to make them feel at home.
Discount sales or auto parts, have you seen their retail stores? Shelves full of stuff everywhere, colors and signs screaming for attention, time sensitive deals.
High end boutiques are quiet, clean and simple, lots of space, crisp fonts, one product takes up your full attention, deals are way way in the back or in another location.
