Gino over at Color Overload recently setup a Big Cartel store and had this to say:
I was extremely pleased with how easy and professional the program is. It only took me a matter of minutes to set up a fully functional online store for my friends new clothing company!

Yowza, we’ve been busy! Today we’re happy to announce some big improvements to Big Cartel. We’ve made a ton of tweaks and upgrades, but here are a few we’re really excited about:
You can do a lot with CSS, but now we’ve opened up a world of possibilities with the addition of pages. Now you can customize the HTML of your store’s pages and even add new ones for things like About Us, Return Policy, Sizing Charts, whatever you’d like.
And if that wasn’t enough, you can now choose how many products to show per page, display shipping and tax amounts to your customers, upload product images of any size, and more.
To show off a bit of what our new features can do, we’ve built a brand new theme for Platinum and Diamond plans called Blocks. Blocks uses our new HTML and JavaScript APIs to create a really smooth shop.
To tie all of this together, we did a major overhaul on your store admin. You’ll notice all sorts of little gems as you check the dashboard, manage your products, and customize your store.
We’ll be blogging about many of these new features in the coming days, but for now our new help section should whet your appetite.

Today is Big Cartel’s second birthday! It’s been a wonderful and rewarding two years for me and Eric, and we’d like to sincerely thank all of you for that.
Also, by some freaky coincidence, this morning we opened our 10,000th store. WTF?! It took us 18 months to hit 5000 stores and less than 6 months to double that.
Big Cartel FTW!
