Considering what they’re doing, Amazon does a very good job.  Amazon-wannabes like buy.com are terrible by comparison.  Of course Apple beats Amazon easily, but it doesn’t have quite as difficult a job to accomplish.  Trying to make EVERYTHING available and still be easy to use and attractive: that’s a nearly impossible goal, which Amazon does pretty well at.

]]> 2013-06-16 T;23:00:00-08:00 Comment by dan c. {url_as_title} the cart at goincase.com is amazing.

]]> 2013-06-16 T;23:00:00-08:00 Comment by colson {url_as_title} http://jcwhitney.com - The best feature is the one where you select your vehicle and it shows you a category breakdown where specific custom items are for your truck while still showing you other categories that have universal or usable products for your vehicle. One note - it would be nice to select a vehicle but choose to see all products even if they don’t match your truck. Other auto sites have similar features but JC Whitney’s is one of the best, clutter-free shopping experiences.

http://www.musiciansfriend.com - I shop here quite a bit. They are amidst a redesign but they do offer a well-categorized product selection, promotions galore and a fairly painless checkout process.

Target.com is a nice site but as I remember - it is driven by Amazon’s back end.

Gap.com’s product attribute selector is pretty slick, simple and easy to use.

If you can provide 2/3 of the simple clean functionality that these sites provide, you will be on the right track.  I think endless.com is owned by Amazon so you get a taste of what Amazon might be like if they didn’t have 10 years of legacy code and issues to deal with wink

Even if Shopify and Magento are in different markets. It would be nice to incorporate a shared checkout process for those who run a network of their own, with multiple stores (like me). That would save money and time in purchasing new IP-numbers and SSL certificates for each store. And perhaps buying a merchant account for each one etc.

]]> 2013-06-16 T;23:00:00-08:00 Comment by roy {url_as_title} I would agree with Brandon on the issue of Shopify. It’s a completely different product for a different market altogether. We don’t see Shopify as a real competitor.

]]> 2013-06-16 T;23:00:00-08:00 Comment by Brandon Eley {url_as_title} And let’s not forget that Shopify is a hosted solution. If you are unhappy with the hosting, or the company—you have no option but to redevelop on another platform. You can’t take the code and install it on another server. It’s 100% hosted and based on a percentage sales, which even for some of our sites would cost much, much more than implementing a custom solution. It’s great for small, starter websites (and I’ve used it before) but it is a very small niche. I think Shopify and Magento are in completely different market segments.

]]> 2013-06-16 T;23:00:00-08:00 Comment by Ian {url_as_title} Shopify is a noval idea but is seriously lacking in good support, custom setups other than design, not to mention poor gateway options and introduction of a monthly charge that they didn’t tell their customers about! I wouldn’t touch them.

]]> 2013-06-16 T;23:00:00-08:00 Comment by mark {url_as_title} Ah yes, the site mentioned above is a shop made with Shopify (shopify.com).  Shopify is the best ecommerce solution I’ve come across so far.  Excellent design, excellent usability for the store owner.  One way that Magento can do better is in the check-out process.  Shopify’s checkout pages are not customizable and all have the same static appearance, regardless of the how customized the store may be.  So no matter how unique each Shopify store looks, everyone’s checkout page looks the same.

]]> 2013-06-16 T;23:00:00-08:00 Comment by mark {url_as_title} I’m going to mention http://www.bustedtees.com - it’s a t-shirt shop that has been copied over and over by other apparel stores for it’s simple and clean layout.
The main reason I mention them is for their 1-page checkout.  It’s always a pain to jump through the hoops of a multiple page checkout when I’m looking to buy something online, and this is a great solution.
Other than that, very excited to see and use Magento when it’s finally released!

It’s insanely clear what sizes are in stock and the layout is very clean.

]]> 2013-06-16 T;23:00:00-08:00 Comment by Scott {url_as_title} I totally with you on that. The majority of users will be smaller shops. I’m hoping designers start picking this up because I hate looking at ugly ecommerce sites!

The beauty of the system is that it’s flexible enough to customize to your exact needs, once you learn how to use it. 2 columns, 3 columns, 1 column? You decide what looks best because you can customize on that level. Need more functionality? You won’t need to wait for the Magento team to incorporate it assuming you’re comfortable with PHP and the Zend Framework.

The quality of your ecommerce site is up to you. You can use the out-of-the-box style, or you can go all out and make your site look and work like a corporate site, without the high-end budget. It’s a wonderful thing smile

]]> 2013-06-16 T;23:00:00-08:00 Comment by Ian {url_as_title} Agreed Scott, a focus on providing a ‘quality’ solution based around existing excellent examples is a must, but think that the concerntration definatly needs to be on the lower end of the market, small shops etc.

]]> 2013-06-16 T;23:00:00-08:00 Comment by Scott {url_as_title} Ian, I totally agree with you in regards to the trashy sites, they are unnecessary, but should be easily spotted and disregarded. However, I think the (good) corporate examples, though budgets are high, are good examples because they are often some of the best sites. An ecommerce platform should be “inspired” by such sites in order to make it the best.

Now this may be going a little overboard, but what if a large corporate business decided to migrate their ecommerce system to Magento? They’ll need to make sure it is flexible and customizable enough to create such a corporate site. So it’s important for the team to keep such sites in mind as inspiration. I do it all the time, but I don’t charge my clients millions of dollars… Quality can be affordable, and in the case of Magento, free!

]]> 2013-06-16 T;23:00:00-08:00 Comment by Ian {url_as_title} Geez, never seen so many trashy sites in my life. Roy, don’t think it was the best idea for this blog, you just get everyones own sites with a few corporate (million pound budget) type sites! Plus whats with all the fashion sites, they don’t give a good indication of the best available.

I personally think that a 2 column design works significantly better for sites with only a few hundreds products, for a few thousand, the 3 column works fine.

Don’t follow the examples above, we want something different that works.

They wanted good ones, not yours.

]]> 2013-06-16 T;23:00:00-08:00 Comment by Sarah {url_as_title} I like http://www.livingsure.com!

my fav side : http://www.valvesoftware.com/

]]> 2013-06-16 T;23:00:00-08:00 Comment by eCopt {url_as_title} Some really good answers here. A lot of those are my favorites too.

I would have to say http://www.newegg.com

Other than their new homepage design (which kicks butt), they do all the right things when it comes to on-page optimization factors. The also have an easy to use, easy to buy platform.

All around fun at http://www.lee.com

]]> 2013-06-16 T;23:00:00-08:00 Comment by KC {url_as_title} For the best drag & drop interface (and also one of the prettiest sites), I’ve gotta go with:

http://www.panic.com

or rather, http://www.panic.com/goods

Its beauty is in its simplicity. These guys pretty much wrote the book on simple, intuitive user interfaces. (Well, no. I guess Apple did that. But these guys are close behind).

]]> 2013-06-16 T;23:00:00-08:00 Comment by Nick Yeoman {url_as_title} I really like http://www.NCIX.com I used to build e-commerce sites for a web development company and we would use that site as the goal to achieve.

]]> 2013-06-16 T;23:00:00-08:00 Comment by Lopsta {url_as_title} this thread is about excellent shopdesigns, not about promoting your own website.
there will be no award i guess.

LLBean is extremely easy to use.

I like the simplicity of the layout and the way they arrange products logically ("this looks good with...")

http://www.oldnavy.com
They use a bit of AJAX to show a “quick look” of a product without leaving the page. I think that’s slick because you can immediately see if it’s in stock in your size.

http://www.amazon.com
For obvious reasons (like a 20%+ conversion rate) they are the leaders in the industry. I probably order from them twice a week between work and home and think their processes just keep getting better. A little cluttered, maybe, but I’ve never had a problem buying something there.

]]> 2013-06-16 T;23:00:00-08:00 Comment by Pierrot {url_as_title} Amazon ? wink
Seriously, I get http://www.lafraise.com in mind, not quite new, but still on the top for a “small” shop. http://www.endless.com is another smart exemple with good use of ajax.

]]> 2013-06-16 T;23:00:00-08:00 Comment by Fletsch {url_as_title} My personal Favourites are:

http://www.urbanindustry.co.uk
http://www.frontlineshop.com

P.s. Will there be special features for fashion shops? It would be great if customers can choose their clothing size (attribute) and only gets shown products with the choosen size (attribute) on stock.

hope you implement this smile
