10 more examples of responsive design in ecommerce

Responsive design is personally one of my favourite ecommerce trends and having previously rounded up 10 examples of retailers that have embraced the technology I thought it about time to highlight a few more.

One of the most interesting aspects of these posts is the unique approaches taken to responsive design by different businesses.

This list includes hotels, hobby crafts, suit retailers and mobile network providers, each with very different aims and solutions. I’ve also included QR codes so you can quickly navigate to the sites on your mobile if you so desire.

Personally I think a clean, simple design works best as it means the site scales effectively across different screen sizes without looking cluttered. I’ve said it before, but Skinny Ties is my favourite example.
