To look at design elements of a web page, I visited hulu.com.
One technique it uses is the star. The biggest, most central item on the home page is a slideshow of various TV episode advertisements. There is additional information located above and below the slideshow, including episodes and clips that relate to the advertised shows in the center.
Another element it uses is the table. When you select the drop down box for channels, a 3x6 table with options such as music, comedy, drama, etc. is shown.
The bottom half of the page is a tree, as well. There are four headings listed: Popular Episodes, Popular Clips, Featured Content, and Hulu's Pick. Under each is a "kind of tree," because each clip is a kind of Featured Content, Popular Clip, etc. For example, The Simpsons: The Devil Wears Nada is part of the "kind of tree" for Popular Episodes because it is a kind of Popular Episode.
Also, under each individual clip is a "part of tree", because parts of the clip like the channel they come from or their expiration date are listed.
