Okay so I have a LOT of personal projects going and I tried to use Market for them months ago, but with most of them I ended up using Magento because they were too big of projects for Market, and Market didn't have some of the features it has now, so this ended up being my first site I was able to actually use utilize the Market Theme. However, I finally got this one up and running and I'm happy with it. I'm still doing some editing and tweaks, but overall I'm quite pleased. Even made my first sale off the site last night! I haven't even started any link building or anything. Thank you Google!

Anyway, here it is: http://preparednessseeds.com The store is actually http://www.preparednessseeds.com/store

I made use of the market theme along with the thematic theme and styled them the same and then used calls so that they share the same images, files, etc. I did this so that I could have a drop down menu for my site, all the while using the shopping cart functionality of Market Theme. Sometimes it's a little annoying using redirects and manually editing the themes, and I can't wait till Market progresses enough to have a built in drop down menu, but if you need the same kind of functionality check out the thematic theme. It's free! You will have to know some HTML and CSS and some basic PHP to do what I did, but it wasn't too difficult.

Please don't hesitate to let me know of any suggestions for improvement!

P.S. Big Thanks to ICY for all the comments and contributions here. I dare say this theme wouldn't be what it is without you. Also thanks to the developer for continuing to listen to our suggestions and develop and improve this theme.

Very nice site!!!  Really love what you were able to do with this one.  I too am enjoying how easy this cart is to throw together and play with as well as the many options it offers for customization!  I have only been on mine a couple days.  Have my own Zen carts but wanted something relatively easy and quick to throw together to meet the needs of some of my clients that I didn't have a cart for and didn't want to fo full blown Zen.

Again, really nice site!!!

I just wish I had the time and patience right now to play more with this thing.  For me I have a few too many irons in the fire at the moment.

Excellent customization!

Wow, that's got to rank up there with the best customizations I've seen.  It turned out really nice.

Congrats on the first sale!  Even better considering the lack of marketing so far.  Google does love the WP sites doesn't it?

Thanks for sharing.

I Love the way your site looks!! Clean and simple but very aesthetically pleasing and easy to navigate. Great job indeed. I wish I had some time right now to play with my arts-boutique.com Market – to add some more stuff and improve/change/customize even more.
