Edmunds
Car
edmunds is famous for used car pricing. Their
homepage here is a hodge podge of informaton they beleive
their users will want. Does it work? |
| 
|
Kelly
Blue Book
Kelly is another site for pricing new and used cars.
Here they have clustered the different categories of
information into logical groupings. |

Intel
A semi transparent and tolerably effective slide out
to provide more powerful access to the site. |
| 
|
MSNBC
Opaque slide outs that go as far as necessary to hit
specific news articles. If there is an arrow then another
slide out will appear. |
| 
|
Amazon
The superstore got too big for their familiar tab format.
Here they drive users over to their explicit taxonomy,
which they call a directory. The home page does
its best to capture you by your recorded interests. |

Dell
Dell offers a customer different ways of reviewing and
analyzing different systems. Customizing is the most
interactive. Recommended takes away the need for due
diligence, product tour takes on a on a guided tour
of what's available. |

ATT
Dhtml slide outs are gone. A pretty conventional three
column layout with each column dedictaed to one of their
proven markets. Click down a level and the visual noise
level goes up considerably. |
| 
|
HP
Here the dhtml textbox is also a thing of the passed.
replaced by a modern looking layout and groupings of
low key links. Half the amount of branding and visual
noise as ATT. |
