Help please - best B2C websites?

[EskimoArapaho]

I'm not looking to buy anything, but I am looking for ideas, good practice, etc.

I have a website that caters to a fairly specialist hobby, and I will revamp it this Spring. So for now, I want to get a wide range of ideas: use of widgets/etc, mobile/tablet operation, legibility, layout, ease of ordering, etc.

So please post URLs that you think do the B2C experience well. Websites that you've found effortless to use, layouts that are super clear, etc. Doesn't matter how obscure or tiny the target market is.

Make sure it's bland and has at least one picture that's 18" wide on my screen and a font size that makes me think I've visited a nursery school website forcing me roll my chair back to the far end of the office. I think the term used to describe this wonderful design is "responsive". And certainly it makes me respond and get a good leg workout.

Also, www.amazon.co.uk. Bland but I cannot fault it.

Pointless copying other people, they've gone through their own journey of what works and what doesn't.

Best you can do is to hire a good website agency, form a solid foundation then start to learn what works and what doesn't for your own company by trial and error. Lots of A/B testing and customer feedback driven development.
