Selling Science Fiction by Design

Small online retailers can thrive in niches where mass-market sellers rarely tread. What's more, these small niche businesses represent a huge opportunity for ecommerce web developers since they frequently trail in terms of site function and graphic design.

The science fiction segment has its own style and motifs. So if a freelance or agency web developer is going to earn business in this space, some familiarity with the culture and themes can help. In this showcase, I have assembled a list of science-fiction related websites—some ecommerce, some not—that in one way or another typify the genre. Use these sites as inspiration when you pitch small businesses in the SciFi niche.
