Welcome to the Future of Custom Apparel Design at The Custom T-Shirt Shop

Embrace Your Creativity: Welcome to the Future of Custom Apparel Design at The Custom T-Shirt Shop

At The Custom T-Shirt Shop, we are passionate about providing an exceptional design experience for our customers. We understand that the heart of a custom t-shirt or apparel is its design – your design. That’s why we’re excited to announce the launch of our updated online design tool, designed to empower you, our users, with an even more powerful, versatile, and user-friendly platform to bring your creativity to life.

Tracing the Journey of Our Online Design Tool

When we first introduced our online design tool at all the way back in 2010, we aimed to create an interactive, user-friendly platform that would allow our customers to channel their creativity directly into their custom t shirts and apparel easily on our website. It served us and our clients well, facilitating countless unique creations and personal expressions on t-shirts and apparel.

However, as technology progressed and the needs of our users evolved, we realised that our first design tool just did not cut it anymore. It wasn’t just about how it worked; it was about how easy it was to use for our customers. So, we began the search for a better tool, and we found the T Shirt eCommerce Design tool and we loved it. And for many years now it had served us faithfully, we were aware of some of its limitations, but it was easy to use and did most of the designing that our customers needed.

In 2018 We were convinced by a company that their tool was simply the best online design tool around, and a lot of big Online Custom T Shirt Shops were using this design tool. So we gave it a try. And we quickly found out that it was even more limited than our old design tool, So we changed back, and with the developer we made some tweaks, and improvements, and we were happy for many years.

From time to time a WordPress, or WooCommerce update would break our online design tool and we would have to fix it, this was a stressful time I can tell you. But it always came back online and often there would even be improvements. But alas the developer is no longer able to be contacted, so when the Online Design tool broke this time, we had to find a new online design tool to take its place.  

As technology has progressed and more of our customers access our website using mobile devices, we realised that our new design tool needed to be able to be used easily on mobile phone or tablet. It wasn’t just about maintaining a design tool that had always done what our previous design tool did, but more about delivering a superior design experience to our users. We understood that to continue empowering our users, we needed a tool that wasn’t just user-friendly but also packed with more powerful features.

With all of this in mind we started a search of a online Design tool that would work and be an asset to our website. We also looked into the development history and support to ensure that there were frequent updates and that if there was a problem we could contact the developer and easily get it fixed. We Brought and tested many, many tools, and we quickly found out that a lot of them did not live up to their promises, most were fine, but all of them had limitations.

Then when we felt that it was all hopeless and we would have to pay a developer to work with the old code and build a new design tool that could do what we needed, we found Lumise, and not only did the tool work well they had a bundle that we could add on to make it work even better and offer more features. So we started the installation and migration of all of our products to the new design tool.

Now our new online design tool introduces a wealth of features and functionalities. From an expansive Clipart & Template collection to varied Image Effects and access to over 800 Google Fonts, we’ve ensured that our tool is equipped to help you create designs that truly stand out. And what’s even better is that our new online tool has been optimised for mobile devices, allowing you to design on-the-go.

The transition from the very first online designer to the new online design tool has been an exciting journey of growth and learning.

We’ve aimed to make the process of designing your T Shirts online as seamless as, and we’re grateful for the patience you’ve shown during this current phase of upgrading and migrating. As we continue to implement the tool across all our products, we promise to maintain our focus on enhancing your experience, one design at a time.
