Well, this is certainly clever, but maybe for the wrong reasons. At this site, you get the customer to determine his own ugly layout and design and then you produce it for them without ever talking to them. No intervention whatsoever. Less overhead. Less control. So, the customer gets whatever they ask for. No one’s is responsible for the outcome except for the poor sole that doesn’t know what they’re doing to begin with.
You get paid for doing absolutely nothing except furnishing the end result of a site survey.
I don’t see this as a threat to most shops mainly because people for the most part don’t know what they’re doing and need someone to do it for them.
:Oops:Those that get a handle on this, such as design studios, home do-it-yourselfers and other sign shops will use this site to design the sign….. press ‘Print Page’, print it out and then take it to a real sign shop where they will fine tune it.
As Jon pointed out…. What do these people really want ??
For the most part a ‘Visual’ so they can go shopping locally.
No, I see this as a helpful tool for most shops because their potential clients will bring in better drawings or prints now. Price won’t matter because not everyone is looking for ‘CHEAP’…. just a free design to shop around.
Thank you esign for enabling John/Jane Doe the ability to bring us a better version of their ideas.
