Freakin’ awesome! This Shopify design definitely is a tad on the different side and that is most evident in colour scheme. The day glow, neon pink, green and yellow colours are a real breath of fresh air in the world of e-commerce design, that if they does burn the retinas clean off your eyes first.

If nothing else this Shopify design really shows off the ability the designer has to create something completely different using shopify. This is truly on original design. I’ve never seen a website that uses a black letter font for body copy, although it is a little illegible in places. So if you are selling something as off the [...]
Zaramama
When your everyday, run of the mill, bog-standard, throw it around the cinama, pop corn isn’t enough. You need ZaraMama Gourmet pop corn! Not exactly sure how I would differentiate ‘Gourmet’ pop corn but the subtle detail in the this Shopify theme design is first class. It’s very organic and has a great, soft cardboard texture background, some nice fonts [...]
Retech TV
The design of Retech TV’s electronic components store is just so retro. It’s got a real 80′s 8 bit feel to it and is somehow reminiscent of those old fashioned TV repair shops that don’t exist any more. The design is simple and unfussy and the user is taken straight to the electronic parts for sale, on [...]
Rink Rat
I just love the simplicity of Rink Rat. Just 12 products that all use just one emblem simply laid out with minimal fuss.If ice hockey or inline roller hockey is your thing then I’m sure you could do worse than kitting yourself out with some of this gear. I particularly like the Distresses Military Hat and the Destroyed Tee Shirt .
Nicola Whitman
Nicola Whitman sells fashion bags, purses and wallets. Ryan Foster has come up with another really great design. Its clean, bright and easy to navigate. It also has a really trendy tiled patterned background.
Noa Noa Henley
This it a good looking site selling women’s clothing. It makes good use of the courier font which makes a nice change for Arial or Georgia and doesn’t look at all out of place. What the font does do is add to the sites slight handmade retro feel of which the grunged-up “American typewritter” logo is the catalyst.
Lizzie & Peach
There’s been a few very nice shopify sites selling craft and handmade products ( Paper Mash, My Little Card Company), Lizzie & Peach continues this trend with a really nice design that’s got a 50′s feel to it.
Yu Retro Shop
I went to Croatian and Bosnia in the former Yugoslavia a couple of years ago and just thought it was an amazing place. This site has a great retro eastern European feel to it and some really cool retro t-shirt designs
Murphy Brown and Me
A smart pet shop store design, for cleaver dogs and their owners. I love it when i can easily crop a great thumb nail from i design, the visually challenged basset hound icon was a no-brainer.
Callie’s Biscuits
Here’s another great Shopify theme from Evolution Design. This time it’s wholesome and homely all the way. I’m not 100% sure what Charleston Biscuits are but they look tasty, I think they might be what us Brits call scones but they have definitely got nothing to do with custard creams. As with other Evolution designs [...]

Enid
Enid has a very simple minimalist design which makes it’s recycled, handmade and vintage products look their best. The logo also brings together both minimal and illustrative ideas, the simple sans-serif font is offset with a bright flower design in place of the dot above the ‘i’
Duchess Clothier
This is just a fantastic design and I love so many different parts of it. The header at the top of the menu bar is really cool and the overall reto 60′s style really compliments the fine tailored suits. The product pages are also really impressive once you’ve chosen your style you can choose a 2 or 3 piece suit, a [...]

A fantastic logo and a really clear design gives this site a very modern and professional finish which mirrors the ultra cool travel bags that are for sale here. It’s the Manhattan Messenger bag that really caught my eye. The site, like the bags it sells, is built on functionality and styled simply and elegantly.
Pocket Tool X
The 3d shadow under the rotating image panel really make the site pop and the over all design is a real contrast to soft feminine design of blushing bloomers. Pocket Tool X is all all hard and masculine, black, white and graphite grey make up the monochrome pallet which gives it a really cool techno feel.
Blushing Bloomer
This is a very slick, competent design and considering the nature of the product it is very accessible and not at all crass. The site is aimed at a female audience and the logo and colour scheme work well to set the tone.
UK Dog Shop
This design has all the usual attributes of a well designed shopify store. It’s clean and bright, easily navigable and simple to checkout. What I loved about it was the detail of some of the lettering. Jennie has used the css3 property text-shadow to create an embossed, letter pressed effect. It grabbed my attention even though it is really subtle, [...]

Lollibean’s Organics
For a site that’s really quirky and fun, Lollibean’s does and amazing job of being slick and professional. Everything, from the pastel colour scheme to the headings font, with the tiniest of serifs, promotes customer confidence but never detracts from the fun, wholesome nature of their organic baby toys.
Go Green Solar
Stuart has created a really professional design for the Go Green Solar website. The site has a crisp and clear feel to it which works well with the clean energy products. It is also technically impressive, with a nice product slider, embedded videos and some ratepoint widgets.

Mexican Vanilla
Sweet! You can almost smell the vanilla. This, to me is a pretty traditional design. It simple and that’s what’s needed when selling stuff. There’s also just enough ‘mexicarno’ to make me love it.
Raz*War
This is a simple, elegant design. I love the logo, the little razor/brush icon and the shiny font. The marketing video is hilarious as well.
Operation Pheonix
This sites got a nice grunge background and logo.
Kim West
This design is really stark! No frills, nothing soft, just black, white and dark red. It works incredibly well with the audacious, latex clothing range. There just something edgy and dark about the whole site that I really like and it does all this with out ever being cheep or seedy .
Jukem Football
This site is really different. The header is bright and in your face and the jock, college, cartoon style is pretty cool too. The way the shop fits in to the rest of the site seamlessly is a real testament to how much control Shopify give the designer.
Cush Potatoes
I’m not going to show my partner this site as I don’t want our home/office littered with soft furnishings and my walet can’t take that kind of abuse. That said this site almost made me want a couple of those scatter cushions. I really like the style, any one who can pull off rounded corners is aright by me .
Defunkt T-shirt Company
The T shirts are great, I want one bad but not sure I want to pay the the shipping to the UK. Anyway the design and build of this site is superb. It’s another clean bright white site with just a hint of colour. The menus and tabs look really stylish and add a great finishing touch as [...]
My Little Card Company
This is my partner, Louise’s craft store. She has been making some pretty nice greeting cards for a little while and they’ve been selling well in a few local galleries and gift shops so we thought it was about time to present her work to a wider audience. The design is ultra minimal, accented with [...]
St Jude’s Prints
This design is all about simplicity, good typography and attention to detail. It’s built on the “Vogue” theme and is a real good example of how you don’t have to start from scratch, to be able to design something really original.
