challenges
Staples approached us with a desire to build a web-based tool that enabled their customers to build and order customized merchandise. in10sity was tasked with creating the interface and building functionality that would tie into the backend of the application.
solutions
We created a preview panel that enables the user to customize their product. With simple user-friendly tools, any user has the ability to create a one-of-a-kind product. The steps panel is used to select all of the options available. The user can also access and manage products and image libraries, enabling them to create a family of promotional products without duplicating effort. Although the functionality we put in place is extremely advanced, the code is built to fully support all browsers released since 2000.
