I run a printing company and we specialize in labels, banners, and stickers. I need someone to create the back end of our Shopify store. I've already done all the design work and like how it's functioning. I have a list of things I need to have happen:
- Set up pricing so customers enter the length and width of their product - Have the area of that image appear in the product preview window - Allow the customer to upload their artwork to the product area they put in - Allow the customer to select options that may increase the price of the purchase - Set up a complex pricing system based on materials used for specific products, the options they select from various drop-downs, and provide pricing on-screen in real time - Set up a custom design studio feature where customers can upload their logo, add text, add images, change text to different colors, etc. - Give us the ability to create templates: For example: a nutrition label template that allows the customer to put their information in the various fields. A banner for a coffee house that allows the customer to change the background color, change out the text, change out the logo, etc. (We will provide all of the design templates in whatever file formats you need) - Give our customers the ability to design labels, stickers, and banners and export their own print-ready files if they put in their email address.
An example of two customer journeys:
1. Customer 1 has print-ready files of his candle labels. He logs into the site, selects "Custom Labels" and adds in the measurements, 5.67in high, 8.22in wide. He selects his material and lamination. Based on the length, width, material, and lamination, he's shown a box the size of the label he's selected. He's also shown the pricing for this order: Order minimum is $40, but he's shown a quantity grid of 250, 500, 750, 1,000, 1,500, 2,500, 5,000. He also has the ability to customize his sizing. The pricing provides discounts at certain price points. The customer then uploads his artwork and views it in the product window. He approves of the artwork, submits it, and places the order. The artwork is emailed to our design team along with his order notes after he's paid for the order.
2. Customer 2 is just starting her candle business. She has a logo, but nothing else. So, she logs in and enters her label sizes, 5.55in high and 3.97in wide. She selects her material and lamination and is shown the same product view as her sizes, she's shown options to upload and create new artwork. She uploads her logo, then wants to add some text. She selects from all the font choices (from Google Fonts), selects the color of her background and her text, adds in a texture to her background, etc. She then downloads the print-ready files (after putting in her email address) so she has them for future use, then places and pays for her order, and it's sent to our designers with her order notes.
Ideally, here's how I'd like our relationship to work. I'd want to pay a small deposit to start and start with our easiest products with very few variables and pricing structures to make sure that we're working well together and that everything is working as we'd like. The deposit would be 25% of the project total and would be paid out as soon as the first phase is done.
The second phase would be adding 50% of the project total into escrow and would feature our more complex products, labels and stickers. These two have many different conditions to them based on materials, and we have over 100 label and sticker products (that all essentially boil down to material selections), so this portion will probably take some time. This 50% would be paid out once labels and stickers are done.
The final 25% is for tying up all the loose ends and making sure the back end systems are working properly after thorough testing and soft launch.
