Mattw112 I was told the same thing about "looking like a website." We designed without custom anything using the new communication site option. We made our main intranet page a hub site, and linked departmental pages to it, which creates a unique master menu at the top.

When you create a communications site, one of the web part options is a full-width image. We generally use that as a header for our various departmental sites.

The new SP is very responsive. We have a lot of field staff and it works great on their mobile devices.
