While a lot do miss the mark there are quite a few good ones out there. Some that come to mind in the retail sector are: http://www.babystyle.com http://www.bluenile.com http://www.apple.com/store/ I know what these guys sell right away and it's very easy for me to find what I'm looking. I think e-commerce sites have an easier time with home page design. The ones that seem to "suck" are the ones that sell every product under the sun (i.e. amazon, buy.com).

Anything in the retail space? Thank you. Do you have examples of home pages that work, other than Google. Anything in the retail space? Thank you.
