56 Shopify Websites That Are Killing It (And Look Good Too)

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.)
