Printed Balloons... the design online program

Just making changes (with a bit of help from some top computer programmers) to the "design your own balloon online" program. We had trials for the program earlier this year and took back users comments and suggestions from the test.

After analysing every online balloon design program available on the web, we decided to update our own to make it what we believe to the very best available. After a number of adaptions and updates I now have a running program. It's powerful, slick and simple. Here's how the program to design printed balloons online will work with the actual screen shots.

1. Select the type of balloon to have printed.

2. Choose the colour of the balloon.

3. Add the text with options to change the ink colour, move text & rotate text

4. Finally images can be added from our image library or logos uploaded.

After clicking the "submit design" button, the design is submitted to our design team who verify all is good with the designs before sending it to the print teams.

We are currently analysing all our orders from the last years to produce the top 20 fonts to include within the package. We'll then add 500 clipart pieces that we have ready for online designers to use.

Also, we are using a marketing company to promote this new service online through social marketing methods. The final phase will be make this software available for smartphones (iphone, android and blackberry users) to design printed balloons on their phones,

Seeing this preview, we know it's going to be the best online printed balloons design program there is.

I've currently got experts from Pakistan, Beverly Hills, London and Coventry working on this website at the moment. With a bit of hard work phase one will come together some time in September 2010. It's going to be the first part of what will be the biggest printed balloons website the UK has ever seen.

customer balloon designer software

I was asked a couple of days ago where our custom printed balloons designer software has gone - and who made it. The answers...

We've needed to update the software & after a few problems we've removed the application until it's resolved.

Who makes it ?

The original shopping cart software is free and is available from oscommerce.

The add-on software dosen't costs too much (around £100 if I remember) & is available from pdesigner

Beaumanor estate Leicester

Such a picturesque place for Weddings. The estate is open to the public on certain days and is owned by Leicester Council. Situated between Loughborough and Leicester, I guess this place sells itself when it comes to Weddings. We've finished the East Midlands route today. The other work for today in Warwickshire, West Midlands and Stafforfshire areas was actioned out to local decorators who are contacting us with their completion times and updates. Leicestershire had seen a big increase in our balloon work and we hope to cover this area again soon.
