The 20 Best E-Commerce Website Designs

Not especially my top 20! However there are things to learn!

–

The e-commerce sector has long been known to develop websites that did not put much focus on design. They tend to get very cluttered and bogged down, consistently suffering from not being user friendly. If they were actual store fronts, they would most likely go out of business as a result of bad presentation.

Today we will look at 20 different e-commerce sites that have decided to take a different approach. These great sites all have very clean and exciting designs, something not that typical for e-commerce sites.

If you know of any other online shops that have a great or unique design, then feel free to let us know in a comment.

Pirate Bay website back online

Pirate bay back online in the Netherlands. The Pirate Bay has come to CyberBunker (www.cyberbunker.com), an ISP that can provide them with a facility that can resist a nuclear attack, however, it remains to be seen if it will resist a legal onslaught, which is much more likely to pose a threat.

Commercial Breakers TV Spot

Commercial Breakers from Douglas Haddow on Vimeo.

introduction from adbusters!

We’re continuing our campaign for media democracy with a series of subvertisements aimed at disrupting the promotion of overconsumption and attacking the legitimacy of advertising. We want the right to broadcast these subverts and we’re willing to pay, but the major networks aren’t willing to air them. So far FOX has officially rejected our first spot, COMMERCIAL BREAKERS, and MTV has cut off communication entirely.

The idea behind COMMERCIAL BREAKERS is simply to sabotage the meaning of advertising and undermine the power of brands. The average TV ad presents the consumer with a crisis: a crisis of identity, a crisis of hunger, a messy floor, an unsightly blemish or erectile dysfunction. The crisis is always a crisis of choice, but there is only one choice: the product being advertised. Each ad expresses an individual brand’s vision of utopia; a perfect world constructed around a singular message: if you buy the product being advertised, you will be happy and content … if only for a moment.

This consumer utopia – beamed into our consciousness 24/7 – is a distraction from our real crisis, be it existential, spiritual, environmental, economic or political. And so rather than interpret advertising as a choice between colas or a choice between brands, we seek to reinterpret it as a choice between the real and the artificial. It’s not Pepsi vs. Coke, it’s Cool Diet Cola vs. Climate Doom.

After a string of legal victories against Canadian television networks, we are now determined to take on NBC, CBS, ABC, FOX and MTV in American courts. In order to make this happen in the near future, we need our legal war chest filled. It’s a tough and expensive game going head to head with these giant corporations in court, but we refuse to back down.

How else can you help? Agitate FOX and MTV and help us spread COMMERCIAL BREAKERS on the web. If you’re a twitter user, throw a #fuckfox hash tag on your tweets. Make your own viral subvertisements, memes or mindbombs and launch them anywhere and everywhere you see fit.
