If you're stuck thinking about how to design your own Shopify website and need some inspiration to create something breathtaking?

Then, take a leaf out of some of the most beautiful websites that exist on Shopify.

We highly discourage any copy and pasting of these designs because 1) those sites were customized for the brands themselves, it might not work best for yours, and 2) customers appreciate some individuality and originality when they browse your site, so do what's best for your brand! 

What we do recommend though, is for your to scroll through the different website designs we've compiled and "do research" on how they combine stunning photography, sexy copy, and a beautiful design to bring out the best in their brand—and motivate their customers to make a purchase at their store.

Especially with Shopify introducing Online Store 2.0, there are massive opportunities for Shopify merchants to explore and discover the best design for your very own brand.

Some interesting insights from the announcement last June include the following: 

  • Upgraded theme architecture—providing easier and more flexible customization options for merchants.
  • Flexible store content—merchants will be able to add the exact content they need to the product page, like a size chart or ingredient list.
  • Enhancements to the theme editor—allowing merchants to easily update the hierarchy of a page.

(NOTE: Some of the ecommerce brands listed below use ReferralCandy as their referral program software. If you're interested to learn how to set it up for your own Shopify store, here's a quick setup guide.)

What makes a great Shopify website

Here are some key characteristics of a great Shopify website:‍

  1. ‍It is mobile-friendly. More and more people are using their phones and tablets to shop online, so it is important that your website is optimized for mobile devices.‍
  2. It is easy to navigate. Your website should be easy to find what customers are looking for. The navigation should be clear and concise, and the search function should be easy to use.‍
  3. It is visually appealing. Your website should be visually appealing and engaging. The use of high-quality images and videos can help to create a positive first impression.‍
  4. It is secure. Customers need to feel confident that their personal information is safe when they shop on your website. Make sure that you use a secure payment processor and that your website is encrypted.‍
  5. It is optimized for search engines. You want your website to be found by potential customers when they search for products or services like yours. Make sure that you optimize your website for search engines by using relevant keywords and phrases.‍
  6. It is personalized. You can use customer data to personalize the experience for each visitor to your website. This can be done by showing them products that they have previously viewed or by recommending products that they might be interested in.‍
  7. It is easy to use. The checkout process should be easy to follow and should not require customers to enter a lot of information. You can also offer a variety of payment options to make it easier for customers to complete their purchases.
  8. ‍It is reliable. Your website should be up and running 24/7. If your website is down, you are losing potential sales.‍
  9. It is updated regularly. You should update your website regularly with new products, blog posts, and other content. This will help to keep your website fresh and interesting for visitors.
