  • online design tool with website?

    Posted by Lee Horton on 9 October 2010 at 11:39

    Hi all was wondering if anyone has or has used a on line design tool for signs and t shirts with there website or has the whole package, if anyone knows of a good one, I have spent hours looking at this, and now just not sure on a good one as some seem good but are half the price of others, in this case would it be you pay for what you get?
    Look forward to your replies on this

    Cheers

    Lee

    ill be honest mate… i don’t think online designing software is going to gain you much business other than for cheap novelty signage. people want their signs designed for them… leave it to the professionals, so to speak…
    i would try cutting my own hair to save a few bob, would you? 😀

    there are actually a couple of companies doing it. i honestly forget their names but one of them was offering web hosting of the software. i think it integrates with your own website. so your more or less renting the softwares pages. once you stop the hosting package, you loss the software for your website. the downside i saw was it was far from cheap for an ongoing fee.

    theres other companies doing similar for the likes of numberplate sales.

    the one i saw that you rent, did have a bit of flexibility on the designing, but was also very limited. but then again, what do you want/need for some random guy trying to type in "Happy birthday Darling". 😕 :lol1:

    anyway, cant help much more than that, the software is out there… havent a clue were.
    now typing this, i think it was actaully posted on "here" and it got binned
    for spamming….

    Thanks for replying,
    funny you say that about the hair I don’t have any on my head if I had a picture up you would see (before you mention it)
    I’ve look in to some and your right they are expensive, but ‘everyone is a designer’
    " why should I pay you when I can do it myself I know what I want you don’t "
    and agree these customers can be a pain but at least they get what they want ( even if we disagree and think it looks c*#p ) and some do realize how long it can take to get a design right and then don’t feel like they are getting done.
    any way thats my take on it.
