These guys get it. Whitespace = Good.

I have to give props to Apple though, they’re in toplists time and again, for good reasons. Apple’s always been a player in the desiogn field and invents / popularises many trends in design.

great collection , thank you

Dino November 17th, 2009

I really think you should include IconDock on this list. Either way, it’s a nice list for inspiration. Thanks!

Ajay November 17th, 2009

Great Collection! Tnx :)

Dzinepress November 17th, 2009

nice list of e commerce designs – the ASOS site is really slick, they have become very big here in the UK, and I love the Itself take on web design – I hadn’t seen that website before. Hope it is OK to plug a couple of online shopping sites we did too, the Scottish inspired fashion website of http://www.inisonline.com which handles the long list of brands and products and images these sites require typically and also a more boutique website and funky look for a design shop in Glasgow – http://www.harlemuk.com .

Guys, I don’t understand why all these interfaces are so good!? The most I navigate, I had a confuse navigation experience!

Vandelay Website Design November 17th, 2009

Fernando,
Are there any in particular that you thought were difficult to navigate?

NewBloggerTemplates November 17th, 2009

wow..all simple design website with good design and simple color..thank’s for list

Rudi November 18th, 2009

nice e-commerce stuff man, luv the clean and simple ones

Tony November 18th, 2009

Nice collection of websites. Thanks

Gavin Terrill November 18th, 2009

I agree with Fernando. It would be helpful if you shared your thoughts on why you think these interfaces are so good.

james November 18th, 2009

Very nice list of ecomm user interfaces. I think Inkd has always looked very nice, even in your example they manage to show a lot of information, but do it in such a way that it doesn’t appear to be crowded or to much.

Simon Kemp November 20th, 2009

This is a great list of nice, clean user interfaces for eCommerce websites. Very soon visual Search will be the standard – as championed by Microsoft Bing. A Visual Search upgrade can be plugged into your existing website using iBlick from Jemms. It’s like a Visual Search or Product Finder and can be configured as if it were a Fitting room or Wishlist for Apparel as wekk as Electronic goods.

gilles lucato November 22nd, 2009

hi vandelay,
i think you can add materiel.net to this list.

The best design of french computer shops!

Ryan Mcfarlane November 27th, 2009

This is a really handy post, I have a few books on the areas but they go out of date so quickly so its great to see such a nice selection of e-commerce website designs in one place.

Great work!

Ryan

Autonomy November 29th, 2009

Thanks for this collection and especially the theme of e-commerce sites.

dian ara December 2nd, 2009

Nice list!

Btw, I find this one interesting, as well. AppCloud e-commerce theme, by iCreativelabs.

Sweet list, Mouse to Minx has always been one of my favorites.

Next time you do a list like this, consider only making a Top 5 or Top 10, and then comment on what it is you think they are doing particular well.

That would make this list really stand out from all the other “Top x sites” lists out there, and bring true value to the readers.

seo December 23rd, 2009

Very nice, i like very much, It’s an honor to be up there with so many other great designs.

Naresh January 5th, 2010

I want a design for catalogue website i.e. aggregator of various ecommerce activities with an option to add SME through simple process under desired classification.

Carico January 11th, 2010

I really like some of the sites. The colors are soothing. Thanks for sharing.

Excellent design, which are ideal for online stores. The only question – whether they are suitable for CMS osCommerce?

UI Design March 10th, 2010

that’s really a fantastic post ! added to my favourite blogs list.. I have been reading your blog last couple of weeks and enjoy every bit. Thanks.

Stockport Web Design May 19th, 2010

Some fantastic examples of great e-commerce sites here. I’ll use these as a benchmark for my future online shops.

Andrew Barbara July 2nd, 2010

Hi, just a message to the moderator, I check out these posts quite a bit and often engage and comment, I was wondering if theres a process you go through or short lists you draw up when looking through the sites you feature?
As I work for a quality mens designer fashion store and our website is growing in reputation, so we are always looking to put ourselves forward and seek ways to improve.

Cheers
Andrew

Kristy August 9th, 2010

Yay! I feel so inspired! These websites have given me some fantastic ideas for what I can do for my own little website. Thanks for the awesome gallery, I’ll be back to study these sites again!

Denim Geek September 6th, 2010

Thanks for the list! I think a lot of these are benchmark sites within their own market. Asos for example is the site everyone looks up to in the online fashion game. There are some great examples here!

Jessica September 25th, 2010

A great collection. My jury is still out though on the new Crate and Barrel horizontal menu – I much prefered the older design – but as always, the C & B photography and general style is still inspirational.

Julian November 4th, 2010

A nice bunch of websites indeed. My personal favourite must be Jaqk Cellars’ for its pure simplicity and elegant creative.

Jane Sas December 29th, 2010

Hey,

I love this website http://www.sustilo.nl and asos.com is great aswell.

websupreme February 25th, 2011

Just simply fine collection of e-commerce websites.

Troppotogo April 12th, 2011

This list is definitely a great source of inspiration and reminds me to keep things simple. I’d love to have seen more examples from electronics and gadgets websites though, as I think they can be funkier than home and fashion retailers.

Shruti September 19th, 2011

Good work. Have got an idea about the product layout of E – Commerce sites.

VerySharri January 2nd, 2013

Hard to find a good template for jewelry too. I like what Shopify has to offer though.

Philip Harper January 3rd, 2013

I really like ‘Itself’ – the product image is huge and it gives it focus and attention. I think it’s great, and so is the post!
