Here's your starter for 10...
http://www.target.com
http://www.apple.comCommerce sites like teh one above with good design, good navigation, and good usability all coming together to provide the user with the best possible experience on the site...

i find target pretty frustrating to navigate sometimes.

Do you? Do you use it often...i can't remember my initial thoughts - but now it's like clockwork

i moved into a new place a couple months ago so i've been checking it out pretty regularly.
my issues are with the way they seem to over categorize items and their structure, and the items per page/view all seem to be inconsitent.

On that note - I bought a necklace for my sister for her birthday from Shop Composition and they were really awesome - delivered on time and gift wrapped. They also sent a personalized (and nicely designed) note to me thanking me for the purchase and with hopes that she likes the necklace.
Very impressed.

Yes the lady that runs it is awesome. She used to have a little shop too here in downtown denver but I think she has moved everything online now...

you bastard- i was lying awake in bed last night thinking about this stupid thread.
re: Target- i can see if the new client has referenced target as a comp to their project then it is worth exploring. i am w/ diggity though- i hate that site. i think the expereince paths are silly and the IA (granted there is a butt-load of content to contain) is very poor. i get lost in dead-ends constantly and i think the hand-holding style of 'no, no this is where you want to go' is annoying. this site also reminds me of www.homedepot.com which i only cannot stand slightly more than target.com. that is another reason i do not like it.
i got tons and tons of what i consider great experience design sites, but hardly an ecommerce one i have realized (at about 1am in bed, mind you). made me really start to consider that fact and if i just do not like commerce sites (bullshit as i use them constantly) or i never weigh them like product/service sites?
anyway- sites that might qualify for yer needs:
http://www.t-mobile.com
- might not be an exact model, but i have always liked the experience of this site from nav to find product- through to purchase completion. it has only gotten better IMO.http://www.us.kohler.com/index.j…
- really efficient UI and great expereince. i love the mix of motion and content to heighted the product.http://www.ikea.com/
- this is a good example of simple, get-me-to-the-product expereince that works great. the fact that on top of all the cool graphical treatments and budget HUGE probably had on this one, the fact that they put a drop-down menu in there rules. so easy to use, approachable, and to the point. love it.HTH duder...
