Uninspiring: Walmart
Walmart, a company that knows how to do the brick & mortar, just doesn't seem to get the online shopping experience. My first impression of this site is that it's for some third-party vendor, not for one of the country's leading retailers. It's childish, not well organized, and would someone please tell me why giant advertisements for other companies are demanding attention on Walmart's front page?
Apparently Walmart just updated their logo, which sits above the new tagline of "Save money. Live better." I guess Walmart took their own advice and went with the cheapest logo rework possible, since this new look they've got is about as professional as a sign using Comic Sans as a typeface.
The only thing that's even decent on this page is the large rotating section with 3 different pieces of content. Each of the numbered buttons slowly fills solid to let you know there's some sort of progress between this slideshow-like portion of the page. Otherwise, you might as well shop at Amazon if you're looking to order something online.
