I want to create a site for a friend. He sells graphics/decals for things like decals on the side of a vans to advertise what they do or on t shirts.
He can do many many designs in all sizes and various numbers of letters- for this reason I am struggling to come up with a way to sell his stuff online.
Ideally a font designer would be great- to show the user what type of fonts he can have, but then the price range will vary on size/number of letters.

Does anyone have any suggestions of a way round this? The best I can think is to show examples of previous works and estimates and another page with examples of font types.

thanks

Have a look at some of the decal sites, might give you some ideas of combining the best parts of each to suit.

great, thanks, ill check them out.

You know, without a professional building this site it could end up looking terrible and no one would have confidence in purchasing from it

www.boyracersigns.co.uk is a very successful company doing the same thing Look at their layout and underworkings

Ta!

Am i right in saying the boyracer site is only one page!? and all you do is email your requirements!?

Looks like it's supposed to be more but the links to the stripes and tinting don't work.
When you think of it though, simple isn't always a bad thing. If you had an introductory page and a page with font and design samples, does the customer need any more? Each design will be different so maybe email or phone is the way to go.

Well, I'm dissappointed! That site used to be fantastic... they've really fooked it up!

They had fabulous image choosing, font choosing and colour/fabric choosing! I'm going to complain
