A large-format print store with PDF artwork in the online designer

The problem

The printer found CMSmart while looking for a print store solution and liked the online product designer in the WordPress Printstore package. A packaged theme, though, is available to any print business. A large, established printer needs a site that carries its own brand and matches how its production works, so it asked Netbase to redevelop the user experience, the interface and most of the system around the package's features.

Large-format work adds a file problem. Print quality depends on the artwork, and JPG or PNG files at that size are heavy to store when many orders arrive each day. PDF keeps quality in a smaller file, but the designer at the time accepted a PDF only as a fixed background that shoppers could not edit.

How the work was delivered

The printer's team supplied the workflow, the design and a document describing how each function should behave. That level of preparation let Netbase plan the rebuild in phases rather than as one release. The PDF upload took several attempts: a PDF mixes text, vector and image elements that a canvas editor cannot read directly, and the conversion approach was chosen after other methods failed in testing.

What is not claimed

The public story was written while the cooperation was still running, so this record states scope only: no launch date, traffic, sales or production figure. No AI feature is part of this project.
