The Moschino store uses Magento. It has a simple navigation. The search engine, which shows product tiles as hints, deserves special attention.

It helps users to order the proper size.

Kitkat’s website, despite the unusual visual effect, is still fully functional. It focuses on personalizing purchases in a convenient way for the user. The customer can buy products traditionally by selecting individual products in special sets or fully customizable products.
Besides, editing the summary at the checkout doesn’t require going back to the previous pages. They also create a gamification system and a loyalty program: Break Society. The website takes full advantage of Magento’s potential to build a good user experience.
Crutchfield
Crutchfield mainly offers electronic audio equipment. The home page is excellent. The user can easily find out about the return policy and popular categories. Due to the fact that products are often bought for cars, the store allows you to check the compatibility of the car with audio equipment. Each product additionally includes the possibility of leaving opinions by customers.
REI
REI is a sports and camping equipment store. In addition to the great division into categories, the store paid a lot of attention to the user panel. The panel makes it easy to reach: account information, Purchase history, Wish list, FAQ and many more. The store also has the option to compare products (up to 4 items at a time), thanks to which customers can consciously choose the appropriate product.
Zalando
Zalando is a world-famous fashion marketplace. They took care to good navigation through the categories well and extensive filtration (choice of colour, material, fit, length, brand, etc.), which allows you to search for the right product. The product page features vital information for the customer, such as the return policy and shipping time. Additionally, you can check the reviews of previous buyers. The only drawback, in our opinion, is that you cannot buy as a guest, but it is standard practice on marketplace platforms.
Louis Vuitton
The Louis Vuitton shop is a simple, minimalistic, but expressive high-fashion website. The site’s navigation is intuitive. When you put the phrase, the search engine provides the most relevant products and categories.
Furthermore, the product page is transparent, yet it just displays the most crucial information for the client.
Nespresso
Nespresso store ensures clear messages for the customer. In categories, we can also find subpages with information about product differences.
Thanks to Magento, Nespresso runs many stores in one. The system by user IP opens the appropriate version for the location. As a result, the customer displays the assortment available in his region. Products from the Machines category, due to their more technical specificity, have also the option to compare products.
