People are often interested in what Pattern websites look like. Post yours here. Also, feel free to add what theme you are using and any other tidbits others might find helpful.
My website is:
I am using the Swatch theme.
I added the top banner going to Marketing and adding an Announcement.
I created the newsletter sign up by integrating MailChimp (which is free). Instructions are here:

How has your experience been with the newsletter/mailchimp?
Mailchimp makes pretty newsletters and it's free, so it's hard to go wrong. I've only sent out a handful of newsletters, and I learn something new you can do every time, so I'd say there is a bit of a learning curve to learn all you can get out of it.
And, of course, they have a paid version that let's you do even more. But right now, the free one is working fine for me.
I do seem to get traffic from the newsletters I send, so I need to get better about it.

I use zephyr. I currently have my accent color set to black, which I really enjoy the look of. However, it makes the search bar black as well (not a problem) and does not change the text to white (big problem) so people can not see what they are putting into the search bar. I have not found a way to fix this, so if anyone out there has the solution, I would much appreciate it!
I've updated my to Trellis in order to address a few issues I was having.
Perfectly elegant!
OMG - I NEED a Sterling Silver Sloth necklace! I will be back to order one for myself soon.
I realize I am posting this 4 years later, but happy to see your website is still up.
I use Trellis, but change it occasionally to Chevron just to highlight the process.
I do wish the search box size could be increased or made more noticable
Hello everyone!
My site is www.ForeverWindingWool.com and I use Trellis as well.
@TheMagicSleighyour site looks SO professional! Great job!
Glad you were able to post! Your site looks great!!
Winding Wool - your photography is stunning. Do you take the pics yourself?
Wow, that looks great! What font did you use on your shop name? It looks larger than any I have found. I can't find any way to change the font size, either.
Also, how did you put a shop here button in the middle of the featured listing photo toward the top of the home page?
It looks like @ForeverWindingWool has moved to Big Commerce.
Yes, @funkydreamsmosaics
is correct. I found it necessary to move to a "real" website. This post was made way back in 2019. I've been off Pattern for many years.
Hi, I noticed your shop and it looks so professional and unique which design is it? I see you have a banner then beneath that your shop name and then below that Alistair with your name and other wording in different font sizes. We're there all the of those areas on that design platform? ALso I assume you created the picture box and then loaded it as an image. Is that correct? Just getting started and appreciate all of the helpful information.

I'm using the Swatch theme with Arvo as the headline and Nunito for the body. I need to be better about using my blog, but I love the Events page where I can list what events I will be selling at.
I'm currently using Trellis, a work in progress though, I am looking to clear out all of my non-fashion items on my Etsy site and just do the vintage jewelry, purses, accessories, clothes on my Pattern site.
I'm on Trellis at the moment. Keep switching between that and mosaic.
I'm guessing Mosaic looks better if you have different size images, but since mine are all uniform the difference between trellis and mosaic is only how the shop name is displayed and whether there is a "Featured items" space.
Love seing the different shops and the looks you've made 🙂
Lovely! Those runes studs are a must have. Maybe I can buy for me after Christmas!

Still working on mine, trying to differentiate listing info between regular Etsy and Pattern. Just switched to the Swatch theme - and here 'tis
