Build an Online Shop: Design and Launch Your Own Big Cartel Store (Skillshare)

Big Cartel helps artists, makers, and other creatives sell their work online. In this 40-minute class, you’ll learn how to set up and customize your own online shop with Kate Miss, an independent jewelry and graphic designer who works with artists all around the world to create successful Big Cartel shops.

Each bite-sized lesson walks you through the basics of adding products, finding the right design, and creating a look that matches your brand. Kate draws from her 6+ years of experience as a successful Big Cartel shop owner to help both designers and non-designers alike build a beautiful and effective store. All you need to get started is something to sell.
Your assignment is to set up and customize your own Big Cartel store. Start fresh or, if you have a shop already, this is a great way to give it a new fresh coat of paint. You’ll set up the pages you need, walk through design choices, and plan how you’ll promote the shop. Your goal is to create a stand-out shop to represent your brand and sell your goods!
