Custom Card Printing
September 25, 2008
Well, the fruits of my labor are finally starting to crop up on the site. Custom Card Printing is now live and kickin around. We’ve had a lot of customers wanting to set up customer loyalty cards or gift cards, and previously we’d get them in touch with other companies. But that seems kind of lame, pawning our customers off when we have the infrastructure to take care of it ourselves. So now cards are available in packs of 50 or 300, and in a few pre-designed styles. Your business name gets slapped on there, along with phone number & address, and you’re good to go.
For the really finnicky customer, we do provide full custom designs. Kind of similar to other custom design sites, we’ll send you a template, and you send us back the designed card, and we take care of the printing. It does cost a little more, but a lot more goes into that than the pre-designed cards.
No rest for the awesome

I mentioned in a previous post that we did some work under the hood on the site to make it a little snappier. Well now that we’re pretty much done with it, we’re on to adjusting the outward appearance to be a more aesthetically pleasing. Mostly we’re trying to point out the stuff we do that customers may dig, but don’t see that we do it unless they dig around the site. Some would say it’s lace on a bowling ball, I would, well, I guess agree.
One of the big things you’ll notice is the right side bar has a bunch of fun stuff talking about our rockin free shipping, super nerdy phone support, and more. It does kind of trap the content in the middle of the page, which I guess is pretty cool.
In other news, my boss has been on vacation a couple times in the past couple weeks, so I’ve been trying to do some of the work he normally handles. Like web dev stuff. All I can say is I’m super rusty, but picking it back up pretty quickly. Once we push the thing I worked on, I’ll share some of the fun of relearning this stuff.
