The Sugar Coated Cult, the custom Shopify store designed and built by award-winning agency Odduel, is now a nominee at CSS Winner and is running for Site of the Day. It comes days after the same project won Best UI Design, Best UX Design and Best Innovation at the CSS Design Awards.
Dernière mise à jour : 8 novembre 2026.
The nomination at a glance
- Programme: CSS Winner, a global platform that showcases and awards websites.
- Status: nominee, dated 31 October 2026, running for Site of the Day.
- Project: The Sugar Coated Cult, brand, content and Shopify store by Odduel.
- Overall score on the entry: 7.7.
The scores on the entry
| Catégorie | Note |
|---|---|
| Design | 7.7 |
| Fonctionnalités | 7.6 |
| Ergonomie | 7.7 |
| Contenus | 7.6 |
| Overall | 7.7 |
The four categories sit within a tenth of a point of each other. For an online store that balance matters more than a single high mark: a site can look remarkable and still lose the sale at the product page. The full entry is public.
A second programme, the same project
A nomination is not a win, and we would rather say so plainly. What it adds is a second, separate look at the work. On 2 November 2026 the CSS Design Awards judges gave Odduel three awards for this store, with a final score of 7.71 and Special Kudos. CSS Winner assesses the site on different categories, and its entry arrived at a very similar figure.
That is what makes Odduel an award-winning agency in a way a brand can check: the entries, scores and dates are published by the programmes themselves, outside our own website.
Why this store keeps getting noticed
The Sugar Coated Cult sells objects for people who have read the news and would still like something nice to hold. The store had to carry that humour from the first frame to the last click, so it opens like a film, sets poster-size type and prints its photographs as halftone.
Underneath it is a theme written from scratch on Shopify. Its owners add products, change prices and rewrite the jokes themselves, while checkout, payments and orders stay Shopify’s own. CSS Winner’s listing sums the site up as a store that refuses to behave like one, until the checkout.
What to look for when you choose an award-winning agency
- Check the source. Open the entry on the programme’s own site and read the date, the score and the exact title.
- Tell a nomination from a win. Both are worth knowing, but they are different things and an agency should name them correctly.
- Ask what the work did. An award judges the site; you will also need it to be easy to run after launch.
- Look at the project itself. Visit the live site on your own phone before you read a word about it.
