   Am I that predictable? Well, you know I like clean, well-spaced designs. And the color scheme is very fresh on Idealab. This is a bookmarkable post, for sure.

   The list is just awesome. Most of the sites have used fresh and bright colors and they are very catchy.

   These are awesome. Mainly technology sites with a large banner and a tab menu seems the way to go

   Keep it coming!

    I’m not sure the AMD or the IBM sites are that good. But I agree with the rest of your choices. Very nice collection.

    Great list, it is really making me thing twice about using blue in any more of my corporate designs. I knew that it was bad, but this list really shows that business loves blue.

    Thanks everyone! I’m glad to see this list can help so many people.

    @liam: Yeah, maybe AMD is a bit rough around the edges, but I think IBM deserves a spot here

    @Zinni: I know! Blue seems to be the official corporate color.

    Nice list of sites. I like how most of them feature the big box of content that features something special, and then the 3 box sections under it.

    Can these sites be made using wordpress?

    Anything is possible with Wordpress. It’s just a matter of knowing how to play with the template tags and plugins.

    Great list. I think these can be achieved through WordPress. That would be a nice try.

    hi, super good round up of large corporates – excellent use of color and i like the layouts, some good inspiration there. i’d really love to see a roundup of small corporates…i.e ones with not as much content or ‘news’ type stuff.

    Good stuff.
    - Just that, I think some of the corporates have to start thinking beyound the White + Blue + Lt. Gray themes.
    - Microsoft is one site that you can always return to, if you are looking for ideas on selling your products.
    - Cisco WebEx with White + Black + Green + Blue is good too.

    What I would like to see? A list of top financial websites

    I have to disagree with the Rogers site. As a Rogers customer, I have to use the site frequently, but once you start to dig around and go beyond the welcome page, it gets really messy, really fast.

    A good website should be good through and through. It’s too easy to have a great first page, but then forget every rule in the book about flow and navigation.

    Why isn’t Apple.com up there? The search feature alone is amazing.

    Adrian, I really enjoy your site.

    I clicked through a lot of the screenshots and these companies have new designs. Interesting to see the directions they were moving. If you update this list, let me know. I was looking for some inspiration and found a few worth bookmarking in this list, thanks.

    Excellent compilation of sites. I wonder has anyone done up a kind of framework document for producing corporate like websites. As in best fonts, the need for a main header banner, colours etc…

    Anyone notice how most sites are sticking to web patterns…. as in search form in top right corner??? The best sites not only look good but are usable and have elements in places where people expect to find them from previous web use.

    Interesting choices, for me as a non-designer. All of them look very bland to me, same-old same-old. Also, as a consumer I see them and my red-flag goes off that I’ll be given lots of smiling multicultural faces but little actual help for what I’m looking for — as Alvin said about Rogers. Of the sites I’ve actually used, only intel actually got me the information I wanted, Microsoft definitely one of the worst I’ve tried to use.
