For small shop owners introducing the online product, the design feature is a simple step by choosing among the appropriate tools on the market. You just walk into sites, talk with people, try the software, and agree on signing up if it matches your expectations and the printing technology.

For large companies, it does not work like that. Large portals implement various types of non-standard user stories like choosing between various decoration types, having a preliminary registration, offer a large number of products and their variations, and lots more. Implementing an online custom design solution for such companies requires a tailored approach and a proper guidance process.

Having over ten years of experience in working with decoration industry companies, we have adopted an easy process, coined by Spotify once - Think It, Build It, Ship It, Tweak It. The four phases of the project allow us to align it with the agile process we use and allow the customer to join our team and work out the solution with the best cost-effectiveness. This article would give a brief look at the above phases and how they work.

Unlike many other plugins, LiveArt HTML5 tool provides a flexible way to build your own quoting in an online product designer. Any option or design element that is added to the working area will affect the quote if it is required by the business rules of your solution. This article describes in brief how quote services work and provide insight for integration teams.

Modern online product designers feature realistic previews that are shown in real-time. Whether you add text or upload your own artwork it is reflected on a product just in a split second. While a flat preview might be sufficient for a printed products industry or stationary, promotional products like cups or custom uniforms might require a better outlook. That is where the 3D preview of a design might benefit much to the final look and feel of the personalized promotional product.

Having an online product configurator on a website is common for products that are open to customizable options, additional services, or qualities. The product configurator captures user preference and helps in conveying it to order details. If the order itself requires more than just shipping products to the address, accurate configuration information is important for the backend office of production. 

Going with an online product designer for your business is a serious step, especially for brick-and-mortar businesses that have already established themselves in local markets. Becoming a global company that accepts orders online is totally different as you may deal with another type of customer and new challenges. Yet, going online has a significant reward in increased revenue and orders coming from all over the world.

LiveArt’s HTML5 Online Design Studio offers a cutting-edge mobile experience on iPhone, Android, and Windows mobile platforms and uses most of the up to date web standards including SVG. To support the industry demand for high-quality output from online product designers, we have implemented SVG as the core technology of LiveArt HTML5.

If you already possess an eCommerce solution in the cloud-like Volusion, Squarespace, or 3dcart, it’s easy to integrate an online product designer as an option for specific products. LiveArt HTML5  now offers a special package to add a product decoration feature to specific products.

Regardless of the printing industry, having a catalog of pre-made templates helps customers nail down their idea and complete the purchase. Rather than starting from scratch with no design ideas users can quickly makeover ready business cards templates, for example, or pre-made t-shirt designs. The pre-designed items available for customization create an additional unique selling point boosting your overall sales and letting customers having more fun.

The online product customization software has been traditional in a sense of UI for over a decade now. The instruments might be different, going from old-school Javascript, then Flash and Silverlight, and, finally, Javascript again, albeit with more assistive technologies like JQuery and Bootstrap.

The advent of mobile devices powerful enough to compete with desktop PCs has changed everything in a way how common customer personalizes their product. The previous online personalization tools were mostly intended to work with desktop computers, which included a common single input device as a mouse (keyboards were never usable for customizing a t-shirt as a primary device). Using the above one could select a product from the catalog and add simple personalization of text and artwork.
