If there are more in-depth changes you want to make to your design that aren’t included in our built-in theme editor, you’ll need to dig in to your code or hire a designer/developer.
For savvy code conquerers
Most theme HTML is editable within all built-in pages, except for checkout. Big Cartel themes also use Liquid markup as the theme’s language. Check out our tech documentation for the full rundown.
CSS-wise, it’s best to override existing styles at the bottom of Customize Design > Advanced > CSS instead of editing it directly, especially if you’re only tweaking certain page elements.
Also, feel free to include custom Javascript, stylesheets, or font files. Just make sure they’re hosted externally, as we don’t offer file hosting.
Have a specific question? Try posting on Stack Overflow or searching the Big Cartel tag there for advice.
If you need more help
If none of our built-in themes strike your fancy, but you don’t have any coding experience, you may want to hire some outside help from a designer. We recommend checking out a resource like 99designs to find the right person to design what you need.
