A lot of water has flown under the bridge since the launch of Magento 2 in November 2015. Improved scalability, extended customization capabilities, enhanced checkout, mobile-friendliness, etc. – these are just some of the reasons why merchants keep choosing Magento 2 and migrating their online stores to this version.
While Magento 1 is still alive, supported, and perfectly running, Magento 2 picks up steam with an increased number of gorgeous online stores worth mentioning. So, if you still have mixed feelings about migrating your online store to the newest version, take a look at 15 beautiful Magento 2 stores – their UX, the offered shopping opportunities, and some data on the websites’ load time and Alexa ranking – and get inspired!

According to Pingdom** speed test, its load time is 2.13 seconds, which is faster than 68% of the tested websites.
Just for Men
That’s is exactly what Just for Men is about, i.e., hair products for men, including special hair-dyes. Video testimonials and product reviews from men that used the products is what I also enjoyed about the website.

Dollar General
Dollar General calls itself ‘America’s neighborhood general store’ with more than 14,000 physical stores in 44 states. The website offers a great deal of information and categories. The white background is used to display items. Too many objects on the front page – but that’s solely my private opinion.

Easy Spirit
Easy Spirit has been created in keeping with the best retail traditions. The website offers multiple types of footwear as well as an insight into exploring their technology of manufacturing. Quality images that allow website visitors to see even sewing lines.
What is more, the website offers quite an unconventional approach to online shopping by letting users select the necessary clothing size right from the main page. Thus, solely relevant items of the chosen size are displayed further on. Image swatch, availability options (in-stock / out-of-stock), product custom options images are used on Easy Spirit’s product pages. In fact, Advanced Product Options Extension, which helps create custom options for each chosen product can do just the exact things for your store, and even much more.

Land Rover
This is one of those cases when an online store is added to the main website. Special deals and items are offered in the carousel images with white backgrounds. Also, we can track the tendency to use images of the forest as a background for lifestyle products.
Alexa ranks Land Rover 13,791 in the US with a 35.60% bounce rate and 5:52 on site. The website loads within 2.37 seconds, which is faster than 63% of the tested sites.
This website certainly stands out from the crowd due to its great cause. Having started with selling chocolates and confections, Cherrydale Fundraising has evolved into America’s most trusted fundraising company today. Inspirational information in the bright images won’t leave visitors indifferent. In fact, supporting charity can be beneficial for an eCommerce business, possible with the Donations Suite for Magento.
The company even partnered with Radio Disney Music Star, Erin Bowman, to write an exclusive song to inspire young minds:
Despite the website is ranked 199,688 in the US by Alexa, its bounce rate is as low as 26.20%, with daily time on site amounting to 8:27. The website loads within 1.45 seconds, which is faster than 81% of the tested by Pingdom websites.
Byredo
Let’s move to Europe and have a look at the absolutely beautiful website that sells fragrance, body and hand care, leather goods and more. Byredo’s design is absolutely minimalistic, which allows it to clearly ‘articulate’ the message to online shoppers. Everything is stylish and clean, from the header to the footer. That’s is so true that sometimes just a few images on the screen can be more than enough to grab users’ attention in a jiff!
Byredo is ranked 64,767 by Alexa in Spain. The bounce rate amounts to 35.30%, and the daily time on site is 3:12. According to Pingdom data, the website loads within 2.24 seconds, which is faster than 66% of websites.
Case-Mate
Case-Mate is the industry leader in stylish smartphone cases. Decadent styles of the items that are professionally shown through high-quality images convert window shoppers into buyers and make it so hard to leave the website without placing an order. Such cell phone cases will surely help stand out from the crowd.
According to Alexa, Case-Mate is ranked 28,800 in the US. Its bounce rate is 49.90%, and daily time on site amounts to 1:55. The website loads within 1.60 seconds, which is faster than 78% of the tested websites.
Copper Chef
Images on this website do make my mouth water. (Ugh, and I have a long way to go until lunchtime). Copper Chef positions itself as the number 1 selling copper cookware brand. Make sure not to scroll down the homepage and check all those irresistibly delicious pictures of Italian meatballs, brownies, etc. They look b-e-a-u-tiful and tasty. Feels like I need this very cookware to finally learn cooking. 🙂
Alexa ranks Copper Chef 43,081 in the US. The bounce rate is 35.60%, and the daily time on site amounts to 3:48. The website loads within 1.45 seconds, which is faster than 81% of the tested websites.
Spanx
Spanx brand offers bras, underwear, leggings, active, and more. An impressive story about Sara Blakely, the brand’s founder, and the world’s youngest self-made billionaire since 2012, according to Forbes, is behind this brand. While there is no personalization we are used to, the way information is presented, and the typography and the imagery make the website stand out from all those eCommerce cookie cutters.
Alexa ranks the website 17,530 in the US with a 34.90% bounce rate and 4:49 daily time on site. Spanx loads within 2.23 seconds which is faster than 66% of websites.
Lara Bohinc
Style – that’s what this website is all about. Fine art photos, great descriptions that are full of drama, and flat navigation make this Magento 2 store look posh. That’s probably how the website of a professional designer must look like.
Also, a stylish pop-up appears as a result of a time delay trigger (click here to learn more about pop-up triggers). The pop-up looks nicely and softly offers to share the email address in exchange for exclusive deals and news. Make sure to check out the Pop-Up Widget for Magento 2 in order to increase your conversions.
While this is a London-based website, Alexa offers solely data on the website’s engagement. The bounce rate amounts to 52.20%, and the daily time on site is 3:41. Lara Bohinc loads within 2.74 seconds, which is faster than 57% of the tested websites.
Cultcha Kids
This Australian Magento 2 store sells toys for kids, including collectibles, novelty items, card games, and trading cards, etc. Images are bright and cheerful. I bet quite a few kids will manage to resist the temptation to play with those toys and talk their parents into buying an item.
While Alexa doesn’t have enough data to rank Cultcha Kids, it loads within 4.55 seconds which is faster than 35% of websites.
