The affair looks quit interesting, not the best solution for e commerce, but however very creative.

Amy Irwin February 9th, 2010

Nice roundup! Love Benestar, Clever Craft and Mouse to Minx. Nice to see such creativity in an e-commerce design!

Lauri February 9th, 2010

Great designs, but as a marketer I must say none of these does not support business. Business drives website, not the other way around.

Bill February 9th, 2010

Here’s a nice clean one not listed:

Great examples of how eCommerce should be done!

Vandelay Website Design February 9th, 2010

Lauri,
No one is disagreeing with you. It’s simply a showcase of creative designs.

Apeeples February 10th, 2010

Wow!! very nice! Amazing.

Web Templates February 10th, 2010

The first couple are very non-traditional. The one with people lined on the bottom, may confuse visitors as they don’t have a clear navigation plan.

Iphone Application Developer February 10th, 2010

Well all these websites are creative and i specially like the first one in the list “Ride Four Ever”.

Multiweb February 11th, 2010

Very very good showcase. Very good web design!

I like the one from The Affair. It’s very unusual.

Mike February 11th, 2010

Ride Four Ever rocks.

OZoke February 11th, 2010

yeas, it’s just design.. how about popularity? ebay anad amazon is not in your list :)

Vandelay Website Design February 11th, 2010

OZoke,
The point of the post was to showcase design, after all, that’s what this blog is about. Obviously Ebay and Amazon are extremely successful but they don’t fit in this post.

Martyn February 12th, 2010

Storenvy and Giraffe are my favorite style wise, great list for my bookmarks tho. Thanks

Umang February 12th, 2010

Wow.. these designs are mind blowing! thanks for the inspiration!

E-commerce Website February 15th, 2010

Nice designs, most of here are very nice and beautiful designs, I love the Giraffe and Mouse to Mix style, these are looking very unique then others.

uknow February 17th, 2010

I really like Mom and Popcorn and Red Velvet Art. Very cool!

Paula February 19th, 2010

The Mouse to Minx brand was created and is run by a marketer, as was the art direction of the site: me! And I can assure you that EVERY decision regarding design is driven by the business need. Which is why, despite being still a single-handed enterprise, it now has a global following.

Thanks for the coverage, and much Love

Paula Daly

Great designs! Good to see such highly credible work being shown online cheers!

To Ozoke:

That’s what this all about man, I mean everyone knows ebay and amazon are the successful ones, and in order to compete them, we can’t just make some ordinary e-commerce blogs…we have to put some spice on them, some taste, and these 25 designs? They are have great taste…

sarah February 23rd, 2010

Andrew Barbara June 14th, 2010

The affairs website is awesome, i came accross it bout 4 months ago when I was doing research but couldn’t remember what the name was till i’ve just seen it there. Really like the concept, it’s something a bit different.

pixelcone June 29th, 2010

I got some inspiration but still I can’t find the design I like. What if you want to sell different products like amazon did. What do you think is the best design for that?

This list was useful to me when I designed our Jewelry sales e-commerce website. I especially liked CellerTheif.

Vaggelis September 13th, 2011

Very inspiring article. Especially the “Green Label Organics” template is fresh, simple and really friendly. Such designs contribute largely to conversions.
