Design Gallery: eCommerce Progress Bars
We do a great deal of eCommerce research, design and development for clients, and one design element I am always fascinated by are progress bars. A progress bar is one of those “best practices” for a checkout process, which shows the user how many steps are in the checkout process, and what step they are currently on.
I always find myself searching for good examples of progress bars, and decided to devote significant time to seeing what was out there. It was interesting to see the ones that got creative, the ones that were downright boring and even the merchants that lacked a progress bar at all. Here is a gallery of what I found, in alphabetical order by merchant. Just click on the thumbnail to see the full-size version.

the drugstore.com one is pretty neat because it looks like a progress bar (and thus i get the urge to see it completed), and is only 3 steps.
i think the worst are those whose steps are unlabeled numbers (like j. crew)

True, this is a simple thing to implement and it makes a world of difference for the user. By the way, the only site where you went past the first step is Victoria’s Secret… naughty naughty.
