Does anyone have a module or know of one which will allow a shopper to preview a business card to include the font, size, etc. with their personal information?

Thanks!

Tonya,
I have been looking for the same thing and have talked to a lot of people. There is no module you can buy out there that will do this. It is a very complicated and expensive module to build. In fact, I can't even get anyone to build one for me and I have talk to at least a dozen programmers.

By the way, if you have better luck than me, please let me know. This is something I really need.

Thanks

Thanks :-) I do too!

Does anyone have any ideas of how to get around this and still provide samples to the customer? We could, of course, provide a variety of images showing the styles available, however has anyone done anything more interactive?

Thanks,

Tonya

Dynamic Attribute Pricing (DAP) from Phosphormedia allows you to swap out images based on attribute choices. That might be a start....

See the sample sites at the bottom of this page:

It might...as the basis for this module was a custom job specifically to accomplish a "pre-display" of a custom product. However, the one thing it doesn't have is the ability to "build" up the final image from a group of images as the custom feature did.

We can certainly do this (as I image several other developer could) the problem is the cost. It is very labor intensive (meaning the coding is simple, the coordination and putting it together takes a lot of work) and therefore is quite expensive (say 6K and up).

BTW: When you see such features on web sites like landsend.com and bluenile.com, remember that they probably invested 20K to 30K for that feature alone.
