As I said earlier, sometimes choosing the right e-commerce platform is enough to create a success story in your industry. At EDIY we gather the information to help small and medium-sized business (SMB) merchants make the right choice. Many people believe in facts and numbers.

So, I thought I would include here some.

The first seven BigCommerce website examples

Right as the famous Fanatec brand, Awesome GTI company started as a hobby. The founder of Awesome GTI was passionate about tuning Volkswagens. Now let’s see what came of it.  

Awesome GTI

The Awesome GTI was founded in 1989. Despite the company being based in Irlam near Manchester, United Kingdom, the part of the name  ‘Awesome’ was chosen after the American cartoon series ‘The Simpsons’. And up to this day, the brand is the sole UK importer for many US brands such as 034 Motorsport, 42 Draft Designs, CTS Turbo, Leyo Motorsport, Newsouth Performance, and Neuspeed.

Awesome GTI offers a wide range of tuning parts for VW, Audi, Seat, and Skoda. The company team states they have a perfectly equipped workshop with fully trained staff to service and fit performance parts. So I guess the reviews like “Honest, quick, quality workmanship”, and “Great Service, Great Price” we can assume as true. If you visit their showroom, you will be able to touch the huge range of VAG performance parts stored in a large warehouse.

However, if you are far away from Manchester, please visit the website improved with the BigCommerce system. I say improved just because the company started its e-commerce on Magento, and then moved to BigCommerce for some reason.

Let’s see what speed the mobile users are experiencing on the Awesome GTI website.

Skullcandy

Skullcandy is also an American company. In some studies, the company is mentioned as a competitor to Sonos. At least I guess both brands support the idea of enabling sound without boundaries. This is actually the slogan of Skullcandy.

Well, the company is based in Park City, Utah. It was founded in 2003 by Rick Alden. Currently, Skullcandy products are sold in more than 70 other countries around the world. Many customers recognize the brand for its distinctive monochrome logo. It is a symbol of youth and rebellion.

“Music is like fashion, it changes. But some things will always be the same.” –  Toni Braxton. Her phrase reminded me of brand-loyal customers. They will purchase from the same brand over and over again, despite competitors presenting similar products. And now I will discuss two fashion companies that definitely have their loyal clients. For example, Woolrich repeated clients love the brand for its unique style and comfort.

Woolrich

Woolrich is an original outdoor clothing company. They call themselves like this since they have produced high-quality garments for outdoor activities for over 190 years. And indeed, this is a very old well-respected brand with outdoorsmen. 

Woolrich, Inc. was founded in 1830 in Pennsylvania, United States by John Rich and Daniel McCormick. At those time they kitted out lumberjacks from West Coast to East and serviced the US military. Many people remember the Woolrich woolen goods for the famous heavy-weight red and black plaid fabric.
At present the company has three retail shops located on the east coast of the United States and in New York at SoHo and Woodbury. However, you can shop online from anywhere in the world using the Woolrich BigCommerce-based store.

Let’s see what speed the mobile users are experiencing on the Woolrich website.

Ted Baker

Ted Baker fashion company has more stores worldwide – about 500. The brand is also known for its individual style and has loyal customers including celebrities. So we can say the brand stands next to Polo Ralph Lauren, Hugo Boss, and Reiss. 

Ted Baker company was founded in Glasgow, Scotland in 1988 by a man with a completely different first and last name. Ray Kelvin named the brand after a fictional alter ego. He set up the first standalone store in Glasgow in 1993 as a shirt specialist shop. Nowadays Ted Baker company is headquartered in London.  

Over the past fifteen years, the company expanded its presence from Europe to North America, Australia, and New Zealand. Ted Baker designs and sells clothing, and a wide range of accessories including shoes, bags, and jewelry. Ted Baker’s fans also can buy home goods such as bedding, towels, and home decor items.

In my opinion, the next company from the BigCommerce website examples is on everyone’s lips who likes smiling. The secret to a whiter smile is in the Crest brand strip.  

Crest

Crest is one of the most popular toothpaste brands in the world. It was established under the wings of Procter & Gamble – the largest consumer goods company. The company started in the early 1900s, but they introduced Crest in 1955. And when talking about whitening strips, they were presented in 2001. This breakthrough in dental care made Crest incredibly famous. 

Crest whitening strips use innovative three-dimensional technology. It relies on the principle of micro-abrasion and helps to get into all of the nooks of your teeth, delivering a whiter smile in just minutes. Usually, people value their time so 30-minute strip application time may sound like a great time saver. 
If you haven’t tried strips yet, you can order them from Amazon, eBay, and through the official Crest online store.

By the way, another happy tooth brand Oral-B also built an extensive online presence with BigCommerce (just for your info). And one more American brand Old Spice, used it too. Here on the page, there’s just not enough space to describe so many big companies. I’m kidding, of course.

The following website has “crest” in the name, but belongs to the retail sectors of Home and garden as mentioned at the beginning of the article about companies using BigCommerce. With the Mountains Crest Gardens brand, I start a section with indie stores.

Indie BigCommerce website examples

Mountains Crest Gardens

Mountain Crest Gardens is a family-owned succulent nursery, located in the mountains of far Northern California. The business was established in 1995. 

Today, they offer 650+ varieties of succulents including exotics and hybrids as well as succulent-related products. In the collection, you may see varieties of Sempervivum, Crassula, Kalanchoe, Sedum, Jovibarba heuffelii, Echeveria, Senecio, and Aeonium. I assume this information is pretty useful for succulent lovers. If you are that one, now you know where to buy. 

By the way, cacti and other less-prickly varieties were very popular even during Covid-19 that helped Mountain Crest Gardens survive difficult times. They continued to provide single-order succulents, and priced wholesale trays that do not require accounts to purchase.

In 2017, Mountain Crest Gardens started working with BigCommerce. They trusted BigCommerce design and development partner Arctic Leaf agency. To get more email sign-ups on the website, the company uses the Privy app. You can check it out yourself by visiting https://mountaincrestgardens.com/ store.

And when the Woolrich brand mentioned above has been producing clothing for outdoor activities, the next brand is about delivering outdoor products such as soft coolers, ice chests, and stainless-steel drinkware. They are necessary things, aren’t they?

YETI

The YETI company owners believe that “YETI products perform when it matters most – whether that be an excursion into the remote Alaskan wilderness, chasing redfish on the Gulf coast, or just getting together with friends in the backyard.” The brand’s mission is not to please mass-discount retailers but to provide serious outdoor enthusiasts with must-have accessories.

Since its launch in 2006, the YETI is based in Austin, Texas, the US. Still, the territory of the service: Australia, Canada Hong Kong, Singapore, Japan, the UK, and the Netherlands. YETI products profile is not only large hunting, and marine grade fishing but also small personal coolers.

If you ever ask if the family business is profitable, I can assure you that family-owned businesses often generate higher turnover than non-family-owned businesses on average. Moreover, according to Business Week, 40% of family-owned businesses reach the second generation. Obvious examples are the Daelmans family bakery that made stroopwafels popular around the world and my next company for today – Di Bruno Bros.

Di Bruno

Di Bruno Bros. is a gourmet food retailer based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The business started a long time ago when two Italian immigrants Danny and Joe Di Bruno came to Philadelphia in search of the American Dream. They didn’t expect anything in return but opened a cheese shop. At the end of the 90-s, the cousins represented a “Fresh New Generation” for Di Bruno Bros. Americans got the possibility to shop in five stores specializing in various cheese and gourmet food products.

After 75 years of providing top-notch service and quality products, Di Bruno Bros. is considered to showcase an icon in Philadelphia’s culinary scene. So the company decided to improve the shopping experience by running e-commerce with BigCommerce. And the result is an excellent user-friendly store.

Let’s see what speed the mobile users are experiencing on the Di Bruno Bros. website.

The following company produces handcrafted goods. It is not a family-owned business but was still started by a granddaughter inspired by Grandma Ethel’s passion for baking. 

Ethel’s

Ethel’s Baking brand offers certified gluten-free pie bars, dessert bars, cookies, and brownies. The company was founded by Jill Bommarito in 2011. Nowadays, her daughter Lily continues to run the business. 

Physically you can meet the brand team in a headquarter in St. Clair Shores, Michigan, the USA. However, to buy old-fashioned gluten-free baked goods, you have to visit one of 1,500 stores across the U.S. and Canada. Ethel’s produces baked goods at its Shelby Township facility which is known as a strategy to reduce cost and increase efficiency. Thus, Ethel’s estimated revenue is 19.6M annually. No surprise, considering also the availability of the shop for purchase online. 

I recommend visiting Ethel’s website to see that elegant design. Try not to be hungry at the moment – it is tempting to lick a screen.

Some experts say that BigCommerce themes are alike and there’s no distinctiveness. Still, the MUD Australia store is my personal love for today’s article. The website has a charming custom theme. Designed in a minimal style, this clean beautiful store lures high-taste visitors. For instance, the celebrities like Gwyneth Paltrow, Brad Pitt, Bill Granger, Donna Hay, and Nigella Lawson celebrities follow the company’s goods.

Mud Australia

Mud Australia brand offers a handmade porcelain range. It uses only porcelain from Limoges in France. The gorgeous products currently have 77 shapes and 18 colors in the range. Since the brand’s establishment in 1994 by Shelley Simpson, the company continues to be one of Australia’s longest-standing and most successful craft-based businesses.

The inspiration for new pieces of porcelain comes from the founder of Mud Australia. She is behind the design. And a staff of professional and in-house ceramicists in their own Sydney factory is behind the production. The 10 original Mud Australia stores are in Australia, the UK, and the USA.  
Much can be said about Mud Australia goods. I want you to see it in your own eyes. If you are far from the countries mentioned above, you may visit the website built with BigCommerce.

A good mood is guaranteed on the Flash Tattoos site as well. The company is women-owned just like Ethel’s. And the A-list celebrity Beyoncé loved the brand from the first collections. Let’s learn more.

Flash Tattoos

Flash Tattoos is founded in the summer of 2013 in Austin, the USA by a fan of bold jewelry and accessories Miranda Burnet. Previously she was making mood boards for a furniture project. The true inspiration came after seeing photos of women with gold leaves painted on their bodies.

The brand’s products are tattoos that mimic metallic jewelry. It looks like an accessory nice for the beach, the pool, parties, festivals, and concerts. The tattoos come in packs of three to four sheets that help both men and women to choose various options. The collections of Flash Tattoos follow different styles and cause the mood that the design is supposed to evoke. For example, the Sophia collection is reminiscent of the Hagia Sophia in Istanbul. 
The Flash Tattoos initiated the metallic tattoo craze in the true sense of the word. Visit the website to feel the obsession.

My last participant from the BigCommerce website examples for today is the brand from Singapore. As I said in the “Interesting tidbits about BigCommerce” paragraph at the beginning of the article, Singapore is the country the companies using Bigcommerce are most often found in. Plus, Mayraki Professional is the one of top stores in Singapore ordered on worldwide store rank.

Mayraki Professional

Mayraki Professional hair care company created the Mayraki Hydrolyzed Keratin Instant Smoother System (a.k.a. Keratin Instant Smoother). Women understand the point, that’s for sure. For other readers, I would say that system helps to repair dry, frizzy, and damaged hair. It includes the purest organic and vegan ingredients, and that is why the system has already gained the confidence of many customers. 

Mayraki Professional belongs to Mayraki Singapore Pte Ltd. The brand was launched by a group of hair professionals, herbalists, and chemists. They worked on solving hair and scalp issues. Therefore they developed a whole range of high-quality natural, effective treatments to combat gray hair and hair loss.

I guess many readers would love the fact that Mayraki Professional products are cruelty-free. That means they don’t test finished products or ingredients on animals. The company also doesn’t sell its products to countries where animal testing is required by law.
To discover Mayraki’s hair care solutions and switch up your hair care routine, you may visit its store.

Let’s see what speed the mobile users are experiencing on the Mayraki Professional website.
