Extra Pep in Our Step

by J.D. on February 22nd, 2009

Coming off the holidays, we’ve been hard at work on a host of performance improvements for Big Cartel. This past week, we finished migrating all store images to Amazon CloudFront. CloudFront ensures that visitors to your stores download images from a lightning fast server near them, no matter where they are in the world. This results in faster page loads and, hopefully, more traffic and sales for your stores.

Less visibly, we’ve been making some nerdy (technical) changes under the hood that, in addition to speeding up page loads for your stores, will enable us to handle ever more traffic without breaking a sweat.

As ever, thanks. We’re looking forward to a great year.

    Thanks - improvements to the service are as always much appreciated.

    Keep up the great work!

    Thanks for the hard work!

    any chance that you could add another ‘options’ box (for colours and sizes etc) to the product pages?

    this way we could have one drop down box for colours and another one for sizes.

    this would be a great improvement!
    thanks,

    Is there any chance AT ALL that you could add another ‘options’ box (for colours and sizes etc) to the product pages?

    this way we could have one drop down box for colours and another one for sizes.

    It’s really hard to have multiple colors of one shirt along with different sizes with the current drop down box. We really need the option for 2 or three. Please please please, it would improve alot of peoples stored greatly.

    Thank you so much

    that’s what we’ve been thinking too…… another options box plz!
    we used to use 2 options boxes before we started using big cartel…. we can do too many colour/size combinations to get them in one box….
    thanks,
