Upcoming Changes on Craft Is Art

We want to keep you in the loop of what is going on behind the scenes of Craft Is Art, you may already noticed changes made to the site in general, to the home page, to the product view page, and to the look and feel of the shops, but a lot more is coming, and the plan is to continue improving the features of the site, not only for our sellers convenience but for buyers that often need an incentive to complete a purchase, so we want to make it easy and comfortable for them as well.

These are some of the recent changes made to the website:

  • Shortened Header. The inside pages now have a shorter header (where the Craft Is Art logo is), this change was made with the idea of giving you more space, and make your products visible at the time of loading, especially for those buyers whose monitors or screen resolutions are really small, or buyers using Netbooks (the smaller versions of the Notebooks/laptops), so we made it less us and more you!.
  • My Account menu. Speaking of the header bar, we added a mini navigation bar, that works for both sellers and buyers, although, sellers have more options to choose from. If you are already logged in to your account, you will see a link on the header bar that says "My Account", rolling the mouse over will bring down a list of "Quick Links" to the most used tools.
  • Quick Checkout. This is probably the most convenient tool for buyers who want to buy fast and convenient, and not having to register or become members.

WHAT'S COMING?

  • Referral Program. Sellers will get a list of codes they can provide to other sellers interested in selling on Craft Is Art, a few referrals will give you a FREE PREMIUM ACCOUNT FOR LIFE, we'll keep you updated of course.
  • Tax Table. Sellers will have the ability to charge sales taxes based on the states they need to collect to taxes in.
  • Less Steps!. We are also reducing the number of steps when adding a new item, from 4 to 2, so you can add items faster.
  • Image Uploader. A very cool image uploader is underway, you will be able to upload your images all at once.
  • More Changes!. 

YOUR FEEDBACK AND SUGGESTIONS ARE IMPORTANT

We really appreciate and of course need your feedback as part of the improvement process. Please contact us and let us know what you would like to see, what tools you use the most, what tools you need, we read and answer every single email we receive.

Also, we usually post quick updates under "News and Announcements" in the Craft Is Art forums, so make sure you check them regularly, and also, if you have questions, or would like to start a conversation, use our forums, the use of forums and blogs is good to get exposure.

    New this week, but so far I am impressed with the tools for sellers. In comparison to Etsy, 1000 Markets and Artfire this site is comparable. Thanks in advance for all of your attention to the seller and buyer needs.

    Being the new kid on the block,I wish to thank you for setting up a site where there is not one voice {like the Wiz of Oz} speaking for all, but when we all speak it creates a harmony of varied noted and wishes

    I am still new on here and I must say I like it better than other sites. easier to use. My only complaint is it takes forever to load pics and items.

    I just signed up today and need to upload, but the pics take so very long. I think I'll wait until you get the new uploader. Very nice look and feel here.

    Sounds wonderful. When do you think you will roll out the image uploader and tax tables?

    Any thoughts on adding a section where buyers can request sellers to bid on custom items? I am here because that portion of another of my online venues shuts down tomorrow. It is a great revenue builder for new sellers and is how I really got my start online, but it is being removed there and a HUGE number of their sellers are looking for new venues that offer that particular option. Just a thought!
    Thanks!
