Automatically add colors to new backboards

Adding colors to your new backboards used to be a time-consuming process as it required you to go into each color and manually add it to the new backboard.

Our latest update will now prompt you when creating new backboards to add all existing colours to the new backboard, saving you time and effort.

Visualisation background colour

You can now customise the background colour of the visualiser from within the admin app. Previously you could only modify this via CSS, but now you don’t need to write any code.

To change the background colour, go to the “Theme Colours” section of the customiser settings and adjust the “Background” setting under the “Visualisations” card.

Admin settings

You can also adjust the colour of the text in case the default is not visible enough on your new background.

Hosted customiser pages

You can now generate unique links for your quote mode customisers that when navigated to will display the customiser in a page hosted by us.

This means that you dont even need to have a website to start using Sign Customiser anymore.

This opens up a whole new world of possibilities for you to win more sign sales online as you can include these special links all across the web.

Backboards with texture images

You can now upload a image to give the visual appearance of the real texture.

This is a great way to visually represent the material of your backboard to your customers as its clearly visible in the visualiser.

Using this feature allows you to sell new sign types like wooden signs or signs with visually unique material properties that extend beyond our current range of supportedsigns.

Fix SVG word spacing consistancy

The wordings in the SVG file was not consistent with the design shown on the visualiser and rendered product image, this update provides a fix to ensure the word spacing is consistent with the original designs presented to the customer and merchants.

This will improve the manufacturing process as the SVG file designs can now be trusted to be consistent with the final product.

Quote Mode

You now have the ability to receive quotes of sign designs created by the user in our app.

As these designs have already been created by the user already, this will save alot of time with the design approval process by reducing revisions and winning the sale sooner!

Quote custom sign designs using Sign Customiser

By default, Sign Customiser is set to “Sales Mode,” which allows you to create a product and add it to your store’s customer cart so that they can purchase it from your store. This feature instead hides the price from the user and allows you to accept sign design quotes.

Forms used for quote mode are different than our existing feature to embed custom design forms as quote mode forms use the design of the sign created by our app (same image as presented in the visualizer) as one of the reference images attached to the email. These generated images contains the user-selected options, e.g. colors, sizes, backboards, etc.

Why you would want to use quote mode

  • Allow users to request a quote for a sign design they have created
  • Hide the price of the product from the user
  • Receive a visual representation of the sign design in the email
  • Receive an organised list of user-selected options in the email
  • Recieve the calculated price for streamlined quoting in the email (if you have added pricing for the options)

For instructions on how to enable quote mode, please refer to our documentation.
