These don't seem so bad from a IxD stand point. I didn't fail to find what I was pretending to look for. I understood what did what and got what I expected when I picked things.
There wasn't anything overly annoying, like being forced to pick where I live just to see the sites. Although, in the first one, I got a strange login request when i clicked contact us. But this is hardly anything close to 'worst' Now, if you meant graphic design, these are pretty bad. But they also aren't for general consumers, they are for bulk orders made by businesses and so slick graphic design is likely not that important for them. I doubt they would see any increase in business because of it. Now, from a IxD stand-point, garbinc.com is actually really effective. It is drop dead easy to navigate and blatantly obvious from the very first moment. I don't really understand why they named their clothing human names, but that is more to do with the internals of the company, not the website. Rather than try to over-extend their site and do everything, they took a minimalist approach, stayed in line with their business and provide an easy system to get at the information that people will need from them. It is a success. Big Win for Garbinc . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
