Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Web Design and Content : looking for a script

[jcrespi]

I'm looking for a script that will allow you to design business cards online and place the order for the customer. Is there such script?

[Verilium]

Hello,

I have never seen a script for this purpose but for me, what I would do is find a script that will allow you to create images on the fly. There are a few out there for both ASP and PHP. As a matter of fact, depending on your version of PHP, it has functions built into it that will allow you to create images on the fly. You just take the data from the customer (ie: Font Choice, Text, Color, etc) and format it properly using the built in functions.

VistaPrint.com is a wonderful example of a live site utilizing ASPX for this purpose.

Sorry I couldn't be of any more help.

Stuff like this is custom programmed. It's like asking if there is a script for BestBuy.com or something. Sure there are online store scripts but specific stuff like that just doesn't exist. Even if there was one it would probably cost just as much to buy it as it would cost you to pay somebody to custom program it.

I´m confused ... don´t you offer programing in your site?

[jcrespi]

Yes I do offer programming. But I do not like to reinvent the wheel if there is a script already working so I only have to make some modifications to work then I will save precious time.

When you have a 2 members company you will understand how important is to not try to re invent the wheel. Specially when you have to market your services and the streamline sometimes is slim is wiser to outsource some services in order to aquire sales volume.

Just a little tip so you don't keep kicking in the same spot !

Dont' try to do all by yourself
