Google has a range of presentational features in its homepage. As you can clearly see the main thing in the search engine is the logo which is centred at the top of the page.

It is usually block coloured which helps to give the sense that the website is simple to us. Google is an extremely simplistic website and the white space helps to show the basic-ness of it. There are also hyperlinks at the top of the website which clearly stand out. They are in black which contrast the white background and the links are in white which help to make it stand out. They are clearly labelled and the hover over colour is grey showing that it is actually a hyperlink. The bar of hyperlinks is quite thin at the top, so it does not overtake the page but you can still clearly see it.
