Well Designed E-commerce Websites
Posted by Matt Davies on August 27th, 2008.
Hello Fadtastic people. Being a designer I am always being inspired by fellow creatives. Every now and again I like to “take my hat off”, (figuratively speaking), to other people work. In this post, we are showcasing 14 e-commerce websites which I think have great aesthetics. We are not just looking at functionality, but also in brand presence and key messaging. All of the below websites have personality, and a real unique shopping experience. We hope you will be inspired as much as we were…
Topshop
Princess Fashion House
Next
Nerve Music Store
My Wardrobe
Mozilla Store
Klassiker in Acryl
John Lewis
Go Incase
Expresso Rub
ETSY
Elegance
Carhartt
Apple Store
Conclusion
So there we are - well designed websites offering a unique shopping experience! If there are any we have missed off - pop them in a comment below!

Looks like you may have been hacked. Check your source and look for "pharmacy" and you’ll find a lot of spam links.
they all look nice. anyway, would you be able to know if they are using any 3rd party ecommerce software?
Can you list some e-commerce websites designed using Adobe Flex?
you’ve got a massive list of spam type medical phrases hidden on your page. They are also appearing and polluting the RSS feed. is this intentional or has your site been hacked?
Thx for this great article. I’ve learned alot of it
You may want to check your version of wordpress and or you post. In my feedreader, its filled with spam!
I really don’t like Apple, but i got to admit the they have the best online store, everything is so easy to find and the screen isn’t cluttered. An good example of a flash e-commerce, with the whole drag and drop style, is the vitaman site: <a href="https://www.vitamanglobal.com/interactive.php?sp=flash" title="Vitaman">http://www.vitamanglobal.com</a>Some contstructive critism, perhaps you should include a paragraph for each store as to why you think it is well designed.
It looks like the "spam" is coming from trackbacks. I don’t know much about WordPress but maybe this feature can be turned off?
I think it sends out a clear message that if you take a strong brand, uncluttered design layout and simple navigation you can create a superb shoppinf experience for the user. Simple is key! The Apple site is actually one of my favourites but then they have a huge budget for brandind and design…try getting that result on a budget!
It is good! Website Welcome to http://www.it4j.com
not bad, can replica sites be bought and used to earn commission?
Man I wish, I was talented like that.
How about this one? http://www.mycelebrityfashion.co.uk

Great collection here! Glad I stumbled across your blog. Bookmarked it :]There are some great e-commerce designs, think Next isone of my favourites on the list.
I liked the Klassiker and Incase the best. I was on a store today I tought looked great even though it is new. It is the Integral Life site. I think the whole site is beautiful.
www.brittlintner.com I think should be included in yuor list,With best regards,Patricia Milesi
Superb ecommerce templates.These are very much inspiring for ecommerce web site developers helping them to design a new look.
woow super Thank youu
Awesome Web site you have!!! For a new designer like me, it’s very helpful. I wanted to pass along a site I found with great design templates, both Flash and what they call turnkey solutions, that even I was able to install on my hosting provider with Network Solutions in only a few minutes. I hope you find it as helpful as I did. www.linktogether.com
no updates since August 2008? why would I come back and visit?
topshop is something unique. enjoyed the other screen shots as well
Your website has become stagnant. Please update.
this is really good. i like the collection it gives ideas and can help my clients visualise what we can offer for web design e commerce on http://www.webartsense.com
Thanks for this collection, we are working on a big ecommerce store, its nice to be able to compare layouts and flip through a good set of well designed sites to get some ideas.
Shops are a great source of inspiration, I use EKM Powershop when building e-commerce shops. It does the job, though can be slightly frustrating!
They all looked nice. Especially Apple. Great masterpiece
Моя теория чуть-чуть отличается от изложенной автором, кому интересно, могу поделиться своим опытом. Мой email:fuertcd@mail.ru, Олег.
can these replica sites be bought?..

Привет. Рекламку у тебя можно разместить недорого? Отпишись. Думаю всем интересно будет.
Good article thanks for info.
Hey that was a very illuminating article, it helped me a lot.
I’ve always felt that designing for an e-commerce site was the hard to actually make look good. The majority of the content is lists, and images - so it leaves very little room for creative input. Thanks for sharing these examples though, gave me some great ideas.
Big images are pretty, but how do they work with the Google optimization? At Affordable Alaska Web Design Company we try to focus more links and content instead of using large graphics.
This post is very good for me.. i can get many tips and trick on this blog.. thank’s for u’r information my friend! this is my first time to visiting to your blog..
I love your choices of sites. i think we share aesthetic likes. Great collection.

Great collection. Some excellent examples of well executed ecommerce web design. Thanks for taking the time to put this list together.
Very good set of examples. Its worth having a look at some of the US clothing brand’s websites.
“Спасибо за статью”
These websites are very good. Specially "Princess Fashion House".
Apple and Elegance are the best ones. I like them so much.

I always want to create more creativenesses in my all designs. I really appreciate your design indeed. Very inspirational. People have to be more creative and innovative to explain their particular designs. Keep it up
Today the concept of every design either website or logo has changed. People concentrate on more innovative and unique designs. I really like it. Keep it up
You have really done a great job. Quite inspirational menus indeed. I like it and always appreciate unique designs. Thanks

Some great designs there Matt. Simplicity is often the key in good web design, especially when you are trying to create a pleasant and stress-free shopping experience for your customers. Making the navigation clear and the structure of the website easy to comprehend along with creating a beautiful style which is easy on the eye = result! Apple design (9 times of 10) hits the nail on the head – their website is simple, clean and stylish. I also really like the Carhartt website design, it’s fresh and funky but also well structured and balanced, with plenty going on visually to keep you interested.
this post is so worthy to read…it is very useful to me….thanks a lot for sharing your views with us…
ye, good post. thank you!
Thanks, these look great
Увлекательно! Только не могу понять как часто обновляется блог?
Красота, особенно первая фотка
All e-commerce websites design very well. great thankx for sharing -:)
Certainly.
In my opinion you are mistaken. Let’s discuss it. Write to me in PM.
Certainly. So happens. We can communicate on this theme. Here or in PM.
Completely I share your opinion. In it something is also to me it seems it is good idea. I agree with you.
All above told the truth. Let’s discuss this question.
They look ok. One site that caught my eye was Cheatconfession.com. The subject is a bit out there, but the design is simplistic. The user will have an easy time distinguishing what they find important and what they think is bad.

These sites look great. I love how Apple is so simple, that just goes to show you with a great product you don’t have to be over the top with the design aspect.
Great inspiration.
More design for e-commerce websites..wonderfull sharing thanks
No doubt about it when it comes to eCommerce your website design and functionality needs to be running 100% if you ever want it to really convert.
Though we would all like to be able to do website designing for own website, we all aren’t able to, whether we just don’t understand the various elements or we just don’t have the time or don’t have the required expertise; the use of a top website design company is a must have. Just any website design company will not do; there are various things that can make a web design company a <b><a href="http://www.fatbit.com">best web design company </a></b>who will provide the exact services you need to meet the exact specifications you provide and request.
Thank you for this post. I have noticed a following trend of very minimalistic designs optimising the use of white space which I feel is needed for modern e-commerce. This really keeps the user focus on the products which is complimented by large sized lifestyle images. I think this merge between the two makes for a visually pleasing online shop. Also keeping the landing page visual with minimal text keeps the user involved and wanting to browse through visuals rather than heavily worded text. These are definatly a great collection of well pieced together template.
