What type of website do you have?

[JaimeZ]

We're using a Printers Presence Website. It's good for us.

What other options are out there?

Do some have a custom site?

[dsjprinting]

We are also using a site from Printers Presence. It has worked well for us for the past several years.

However, we are growing and need more capabilities so we are currently in the process of switching to a website from Printers Website. it is fairly full featured, includes e-commerce file uploading and proofing.

They also make several other products including a PDF print driver for windows users called Simple Prep that will convert and preflight to PDF and then upload to your website in one operation. You can check them out at [http://printers-website.com]

Hi,
Your question of "what else is out there" led me to respond. There are many options for printers who want a website, especially ones that could offer e-com and other customizations, and finding the one that is best for you takes a bit of internal and external discussion and research. GTAF recently released a new book called "*Web-to-Print Primer*" find it on their website here: [http://www.gain.net/eweb/DynamicPage...-310d27302e8e] It offers valuable info and resources.

Our company along with many others offerering web-to-print solutions are listed in "*Web-to-Print Primer*"and talked about. We work with printers all over the nation and provide a variety of website solutions to meet the demands of the print shop owners and their customers. Feel free to contact me if I can be of further help.

Al the best,
Cyn

We're using websitesforprinters.com
We've been very happy with their service, great file transfers and easy to edit and most importantly, easy to work with.

[amazingprint.com]

We have build our own website using [eCardBuilder|http://www.amazingprint.com/Products.../Default.aspx] platform for a [web to print|http://www.amazingprint.com] software storefront. After enabling thousands of printers websites with web to print solutions, we were glad to see two of the customers getting mentioned in PIA-GATF's book "Web-to-Print Primer" as top 4 sites along with Vista.

Hello,
We modified our existing website into a complete e-Commmerce store front using RocketPrint software. It integrates seamlessly and offers features that would cost us mega-dollars from other suppliers. Here is a link to their website:

We built our site www.ezprintsolutions.com in-house. After looking at the costs and limited ability to customize from other sites , decided the best wa yto know what you're getting is to make it and create it in a way that it can be expanded in code or 'plugged' in by other applications. (that way you dont spend the money to make something that becomes obsolete in a year , or that wont tie in with other functions you want.)

PHP/ MYSQL and AJAX - no templates, and built it line by line in text editor so that its known more than you'd ever want to know your applications and functions. lol

If you like the way we have our Instant Pricing calculators I could help you in the way we went about it.

No page reloads and dynamic updating Instant Pricing with a virtual LCD readout - I think its the first in that style.
Sorry, not trying to pat my site on the back - but I'm the web guy that made that ..and you know how we are. lol
