Corporate Website examples

[Beacon]

Hi All,

I'm chasing examples for good layouts for corporate websites.
This will be for a mining related website.

Any links would be good!
thanks

I'm not advocating any particular style, but here are some of Australia's larger corporate websites (large in terms of company size, not website size)

http://www.ric.nsw.gov.au/ (Rail Infrastructure Corp.)
Not alot of content, but it's easy to find

http://telstra.com/index.jhtml (Telstra)
I hate this site. The front page is just a ****load of links, it drives me insane trying to find anything I want without resorting to a search. But, they are Australia's biggest company apparently... (check out the forums - apparently it's full of disgruntled customers... )

Similar to Telstra in that I think there's too much to take in when you get to the site. Hard for new users to work out where they're heading. But they have the good ol' drop down menus so you don't have to click a link to see the sublinks, which I like. And, they are in the same industry.

These guys are on the news for sacking 500 staff from the Sydney hotel. Can't say I like a site which appears like a giant ad, but I guess they are just a hotel, so what else was I expecting?

Easy to nav, simple. Looks fun. I think these guys were one of those corporations that paid a ****load of cash back when the web was really kicking off, and If I recall correctly, their first website was just a picture of a commodore or something, and they paid 1/2 a mil for it. Good work if you can get it.



Have fun.
