The internet has forever changed the way we buy and sell goods and services. Since 1994, we started out buying wine, chocolates, flowers amongst other popular impulse items online.

Many of the ecommerce designs in the 90s were simplistic, difficult to use, and damn right ugly. However, at the time they were cutting edge and started an ecommerce revolution that would forever change the way we buy online.

In the summer of 1995, Jeff Bezos boxed up the first ever book sold on Amazon from his Seattle garage. Within 30 days of business, "Earth's largest bookstore" went on to sell books to online shoppers in all 50 U.S. states, and 45 countries. Bezos had tapped into a powerful new e-commerce market, and others would soon follow in his footsteps.

In this fascinating archive, we look at what 43 popular ecommerce websites used to look like in the 1990s and early 2000s. Scroll down to see some great examples from the likes of Nike, Zazzle, Lego, and many more.
