eCommerce Design

I’ve been scouring the web lately for examples of excellent ecommerce web sites and stumbled on CartCraze and CartFrenzy. They have some awesome examples of what good ecommerce design is. Some of my favorites:

• http://www.vitradirect.com
• http://www.nest-living.com
• http://www.equipyourtrip.com/

All are incredibly clean designs, strong lines and plenty of whitespace to prevent visual overload and make it easier to peruse the catalog. I especially like VitraDirect. They have some great flexibility in the design… I could see this making a great Drupal theme.

Wordpress has come a long way

I just finished upgrading my site. Took 45 minutes total (most of that spent waiting for background jobs to finish up), which isn’t bad considering I hadn’t spent any time on the site really in the last 6 months.

So where was I? Turns out you can cram an awful lot into 6 months. My god has it really been that long? I’m not sure what exactly prompted this blurt. Maybe there will be more, maybe I’ll go another 6 months without writing. That does make for really slow reading. If you’ve made it this far, thanks.

I’m flattered.
