ecomm.design — eCommerce Website Design Gallery
WordPress theme contributions to one of the web's most-visited ecommerce design inspiration galleries.
The Client
ecomm.design is a curated design gallery showcasing over 4,138 ecommerce store designs, filterable by platform (Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, Squarespace, Wix), industry, and design style. It serves designers seeking inspiration and founders benchmarking their store design against best-in-class examples from their category.
The Brief
With a gallery of 4,000+ entries and a filtering system covering dozens of platforms and categories, ecomm.design's WordPress theme needed to handle a dense, media-heavy browsing experience without feeling sluggish or visually cluttered.
What Shipped
Contributed WordPress theme improvements focused on gallery listing performance and visual polish — optimising the CSS for the filterable grid layout, refining card design for better thumbnail presentation, and improving responsive breakpoints for the dense gallery views.
How it was built
Contributions worked within the site's existing WordPress custom theme, focusing on the archive and taxonomy template views that power the gallery grid. CSS work targeted the filterable listing layout and card components used across thousands of gallery entries.
A gallery at this scale — 4,000+ entries, multiple filter dimensions — demands CSS that remains performant and visually consistent regardless of thumbnail proportions, title length, or platform tag count, requiring careful use of CSS Grid and defensive layout patterns.
Results & reach
ecomm.design serves as a daily resource for designers and founders worldwide, with 4,138 curated store designs actively maintained. Theme contributions improved the browsing experience for a gallery that helps shape design decisions on stores generating millions in revenue.
