About the project
Theme Fiend is the premier provider of themes for Big Cartel, an e-commerce platform for small businesses. Theme Fiend delivers top quality Big Cartel themes that give online shops a professional look and advance functionality.
Advanced Themes
As a platform dedicated to simplicity, Big Cartel’s default themes lacked many key features found on other e-commerce websites out there. Theme Fiend set out to provide themes with standard and advanced frontend features not availble on Big Cartel, including:
- Home page slider with custom text for each slide
- Sub categories and sub pages
- Configurable mailing list signup forms
- Assigning links to sidebar, footer and sub header
- Custom page templates
Theme Configurator
Due to the limitations of Big Cartel’s built-in customizer, Theme Fiend themes have always included custom controls that can be set with simple text replacement. While this was a great advancement over manually editing HTML/CSS, some users still found difficulty in reading the text controls.
To solve this problem, I developed a theme configurator panel that allows for a multitude of customizations to be made with the help of minor visual feedback and easy to read details.
- Upload images to slider and add custom text to each slide
- Mailing list signup form that can be configured with choice of 5 different providers
- Font picker that allows users to choose from over 600 Google Fonts
- Color picker for choosing colors of several different elements
