FN-FORUM: Ideas and thoughts on an online label design system

date posted 25th February 2008 18:59

Good Evening all,

I have been liaising with a good client of mine over designing a
standalone label design application for him to add to his website.
I know I could build this in PHP/MySQL, but I am concerned that the GD
library and other drawing facilities would make the label preview look
quite clumsy, which would ultimately affect the number of orders which
are completed online, so I wanted to hear your thoughts:

- Online
- Admin area to be able to add label sizes, clipparts/graphics for
user to use, possibly even manage fonts
- Customer would be taken through a wizard, asking them for anything
from the size, to choosing a logo/clippart or uploading their own,
text and finally providing a preview onscreen and a cost based on a
quantity supplied by the user.

Any ideas on technology and costs, and availability...if I don't end
up doing, I would need to recommend someone who can!

Regards,
Duncan
