We are looking at doing the same for our car dealers on Just Good Cars. We Just need to make sure that the system is idiot proof first and then the dealers will be able to also use the page as their own homepage. The css can make it look like their own personal site.

8000 characters of custom css is more than enough i think because its “only” an astore and not a hole big webpage. the move from amazone is okay in my opinion because everybody want a little bit “unique” even if its just an astore. just have a look what the future will bring.

I can see lots of potential small scale jobs for designers helping people customize their stores. If other companies allowed access obviously more work opportunities for designers.

It is an interesting experiment and could lead to better use of the web. There are probably very few people who would be prepared to customise their own stylesheets so ultimately usage depends on how easy and obvious these sort of things will develop into. In the words of Steve Krug, “Don’t make me think”

[...] Apparently Amazon is now allowing their users to customize the look and feel of their stores, similar to how MySpace allows users to create individual themes for their pages. [...]

i think amazon went for this to meet a little more better the design requirements for exciting shops.
many customers today are thinking: nice designed shops you can trust much more – they are more respectablly.

I don’t know why Amazon went for this. Perhaps they just had some smart guy developing aStore.

I think it is great that a company as large as Amazon is finally allowing people to custmize the look to fit better with their purposes.

CSS is a good move for aStore and for all users! I have no problem with font and colour pickers.

From what I hear aStores are not that loved by the affilaites. It drags away to much attention or so it seams…
