June is an exciting month for both Ubercart and TopNotchThemes! Over a year since their initial alpha release, Ubercart released version 1.0 earlier this month. If you haven’t had a chance to check out Ubercart, you can read more about the project and also see why Drupal shines as an e-commerce platform.

To help you get started, we’ve added a handy tutorial to our site for creating an online store with Drupal.

We know that a beautiful e-commerce site built on an open source platform can be hard to come by, especially with the complexity of theming for e-commerce systems. Helping to change this perspective, we’ve just added another two Ubercart themes to the TopNotchThemes library, Sharp Sales and Stockholm!

Ubercart themes get a lot of extra TLC from our team, with additional styling of blocks for the shopping cart, bestselling and featured products, and various catalog displays. Product nodes, catalog grids, and categories get custom theming, along with the user’s cart and checkout forms. Ubercart themes come with all our usual TNT theme goodies too, so they work just fine for a non-Ubercart Drupal site.

Now that Ubercart 1.0 is out the door, the UC team is hard at work on the Drupal 6 upgrade, which will bring numerous other improvements. Congrats to the team on a great release, and we look forward to continuing to make Ubercart look its best!
