Are you struggling to design your e-commerce website? Don't worry, you're not alone! Many newcomers find it challenging to create an effective layout for their online store.
The good news is that you can draw inspiration from your competitors' websites.
Here are two simple yet powerful methods to discover and analyze your competition, using Shopify stores as an example:
- Google Search Hack Try this: Type "site:.myshopify.com" in Google, followed by your product category (e.g., jewelry, clothing). This clever trick reveals Shopify stores in your niche, as Shopify provides a default myshopify.com domain. Browse the results to find stores worth studying.
- MyIP.ms: Your Secret Weapon Visit myip.ms and search for "myshopify.com".
You can filter results by category (e.g., shoes) and even sort stores by popularity. This method helps you identify top-performing competitors globally.
