Anyone here design anything for shopify? Any suggestions or resources? That Vision thing they got is maddening.

I am currently using it on a site I just started. I really have no advice besides use the shopify forum, I posted a couple of questions that some people helped me out with.
- cool, thanks for the tip. I'm jumping in feet first this weekend.ninjasavant

I'd be interested to hear what irks you about Vision. I'm thinking of implementing something similar for my templates inside Cashboard, since it uses the same language.

Shopify is really amazing. Don't even bother about Vision, you can edit your templates online. Really nice interface.
- sounding like a salesman. But it really is good.clearThoughts

i had a recommendation not to go with this and instead went with 3Dcart for a client... im regretting it now. seen a lot of really great shopify stores since i set my 3Dcart up.

Still working on wrangling my business partners.

The shopify store I'm working on is not live yet. All I can say is that we could do pretty much all we wanted to do with the shop and it only took us three weeks to get it up and running.

Anyone else have anything to add?
Can you really do any design? What are the restrictions? bugs? annoyances?

I've been working with Vision + Liquid for a few weeks now and it is pretty cool. I admit Vision was maddening at first, but I got used to it. The best way I've found to code the files locally is to use TextMate. It has a bundle for Liquid that works well.

I need to finish up my shopping cart. It's made for designers. Super easy to design around/modify anything :)
The client I'm doing work for now, wants digital downloads, so releasing it is on hold until I finish this up. I think I'll put it out for free too.

Agreed, Vision is lame because it never fully reflects what your live site will look like.
Also most of the default templates use lightbox to display product images. I've been trying to display things in a different way and haven't succeeded yet. But I'm not a strong coder, so thats probably part of it.
Other than that, Shopify is pretty good.
