Inspired Magazine, a popular web design and lifestyle magazine, featured a list of 40 beautifully designed Shopify stores. These online stores are great inspiration for all ecommerce entrepreneurs, so I thought I'd share them here on the blog.
Take a stroll down their digital isles a bit and notice everything they're doing right: their company logos, product photography, clearly defined navigational elements, simple and user friendly layout, convincing call to action buttons, and course awesome products.

can’t believe www.hardgraft.com is not included!
Too many beautiful stores to list all of them :)
true true…but that site amazes me visually. so many great shopify sites!!
I don’t work there, just fyi ;)
What is the new font used for headings in the Shopify blog. It’s nice and clean. Is it a Google web font?
Hi James — it’s a commercial font called Proxima Nova by Mark Simonson Studio. It’s not available for free, but Open Sans (on Google web fonts) is a decent alternative.
Great showcase of stores! Many great designs, but I especially like the clean, slightly boxy look to Chalkd.
Also, a “Women’s Football Fashion” store (Twelve Saturdays) and a “Head on a Stick” store (Noggin be there)? AWESOME! I’m obviously in the wrong market.
Ehh, commercial font meaning…? You have a open type face somewhere and you converted it with fontsquirrel to the web font format ? :) That’s a very good question because I keep seeing people using Trade Gothic, Proxima, Clarendon(s) by the font-face method, but in reality, all it means is that you converted it from the print format to use on the site… You say commercial, I say, okay, it is but you use it as a web font which is not monitored by the font owner or he is not able to charge you for using it.. I know it, I have done it, I have had my own fonts be used like that before, and it sucks. The fair and legal way is the Typekit people :) Or Google fonts, or even Fontsquirell kits
what about www.sivanaspirit.com !!? :)
some of these look great, until you get to the checkout .. and the checkout has not been themed !?
Fantastic designs – reminds me to update our look! Then again, “ugly” is what we’re known for! :)
Some of them are ugly in my opinion.
I do think you should see Teresa Alecrim, for what I know is the first Shopify Web Store to have the website in TWO languages
http://www.teresaalecrim.com/
I think some of the websites look great, there are others which do not convey the right message in terms of the nature of their buisness.
More important would be the conversion rates and bounce rates for these stores. I find the usability of many of these stores leaves something to be desired and the designs, layouts and visuals are more caught up in making statements than selling merchandise.
Much of the navigation is not intuitive and is very unfriendly to the repeat shopper.The selections are sparse and excessive use of larger than life human faces with very carefully crafted expressions in the visuals distracts from the merchandise.
would add http://www.lifestylebyps.com/ to this list.
We’re quite proud of http://shappos.com which I reckon stands up to comparison with these and is selling well already.
I really like So Worth Loving’s category bar! Does anyone know how we can do that?
HI
