Ease of Use
When creating custom products, Vistaprint’s online designer can be a bit unintuitive at first. However, once you familiarize yourself with all of the features, it’s easy to get your design just the way you want it. Depending on your product, you will first have to make a few choices such as size, shape, material, etc. Next, you can choose to upload your own design, browse existing designs or start your own design from scratch. You can upload images directly from your phone, computer, Facebook or Instagram. You can also browse templates by industry. Guidelines help you align the edges of your content within your design.
The logo maker’s design platform is similar, with the option to start from scratch or use an existing template. For custom logo or printed product design, you will need to fill out a design brief to inform designers on your business and preferences. Review your design with your designer via live video chat, or on your own time online.
On the digital services end, the website builder is simple to use with blocks – no coding necessary. For custom website design, submit your business information in just a few minutes, schedule a call with the designer whenever works for you and make unlimited revisions to your site. For email marketing, the email builder allows you to customize premade templates.
Overall, Vistaprint strives to make all of its services easy and convenient for its customers.
