The challenge
Context and Challenge
In the competitive world of print products, businesses need to provide an efficient and user-friendly online ordering experience. Our client specializes in various print products such as business cards, flyers, posters, signage, and plans. However, the initial ordering process was cumbersome, leading to potential customer frustration and lost sales. Their goal was to improve the online experience while making it simpler for customers to find the right products and submit artwork for printing.
Goals
The primary objectives were to refine the client's online presence, enhance their catalog structure, and provide an intuitive ordering process for customers. This included making it easier for customers to discover services, submit designs, and ultimately place orders.
The solution
Solution Overview
Netbase facilitated a transformation of the client’s web presence by implementing best practices in online ordering and product display. This involved creating a more organized catalog structure, enabling clearer service discovery, and streamlining the artwork submission process.
Implementation Approach
The implementation was rolled out in phases, focusing first on analyzing the existing site structure and identifying pain points. Next, Netbase enhanced the catalog for better service visibility, followed by the development of an intuitive ordering workflow. Finally, thorough testing ensured that customers experienced a frictionless ordering process.

FAQ
Questions about this project
Can it handle different product options (size, paper, finish, quantity)?
Yes. The workflow is built around clear product configuration so customers can choose options without confusion. You may need light setup to match your exact catalog and naming.
How does artwork upload and proofing work?
Customers can upload files during ordering, and your team can move the order through proof review and approval before production. Pro plans are recommended for stable file handling and monitoring.
Who is this workflow best for?
It’s designed for print shops and print service providers selling custom items (business cards, flyers, posters, signage, and plan printing) who want a smoother online ordering and proofing experience.
Do customers need an account to place an order?
Not necessarily. You can support guest checkout or account-based ordering depending on your storefront. A paid plan is helpful if you want more reliable tracking and automated follow-ups.
Can I support an online design option as well as file upload?
Yes. If you offer a design-in-browser experience, the workflow can accommodate it alongside uploads. Final setup depends on your chosen design tool and how it exports print-ready files.
Can I use it for both B2C and B2B print ordering?
Yes. It works for one-off consumer orders and repeat B2B ordering. If you need approvals, purchase orders, or role-based access, plan for a bit of configuration.
Will this reduce emails and phone calls about order status?
Typically yes, because it standardizes updates at key steps like proof ready, approval received, in production, and ready for pickup/shipping. Using a paid plan helps ensure messages send reliably.
Does it integrate with shipping and invoicing tools?
It can, depending on your current tools and process. If you want deeper integrations (accounting, shipping labels, helpdesk), consider a paid plan for priority support during setup.
What do I need to prepare before setup?
Have your product categories, option lists, artwork requirements, and standard customer messages ready. Also decide how you want to handle proof approval and production handoff.
Is this a fully customized solution?
It’s a strong starting template designed to fit common print ordering flows. For brand-specific steps, unique rules, or complex integrations, upgrading to Pro and adding customization is recommended.
