However, a special mention is necessary for https://www.systembolaget.se/. Sweden has a government monopoly on alcohol, and the state-owned seller is Systembolaget. They were really early with having a well designed website. Their search is advanced and filterable in almost anything you'd want. They were really careful not to break the web by ensuring the back button works, and more importantly, that the current view is reflected in the address field so you can share what you see by copying the addrews and sending it in an email, and so on. Really important stuff that so many get wrong.
I don't think they should be judged on "looking outdated" though. Functionality and security are what's important, and if it's too visually polished, I look at that as maybe even a negative indicator of functionality.

All are useful and well-designed in my opinion.
