Amidst the ordinary life that we live, there is one day that feels like a fairytale. And that is the wedding day! The couple that is about to get married and their family members do all that it takes to make the wedding perfect. One of the biggest aspects of planning a wedding is to create a wedding card. Since modern weddings are about personalization, the couples often prefer to design their card based on their choice or wedding theme.

If you sell wedding cards online, do not expect people to buy from you unless you enable them to create a wedding card on their own. Having a custom product designer integrated to your website makes all the difference! Using it, your customer can design a wedding card from the scratch and place an order with you.

Let us understand how your customers can create wedding cards using your product customization software:

Select a Wedding Theme:

As the first creative step; the bride/bridegroom always decide upon the theme for the wedding. This is because the theme they select sets the tone for the entire wedding; right from the invitation cards to the venue. It begins with choosing the colors and hues that would suit to the theme. Lavender, light yellow, Turquoise, Pink and Purple are the most popular and chosen shades. But you can choose to provide your customer with a huge color template and enable them to choose the one they want for their wedding card. You can also provide them with the contrast shade for the card background or cover.

Place a Quote

Couples like to place poems, quotes, and sayings in their wedding cards. “Save the date” is a very commonly used quote in wedding cards. Through a quote creator in your custom product designer, you can enable your customers to select from the given bunch of quotes or create one themselves. You can also provide them with font options to place their quote. With the help of it, they can decide how the quote will look on the cards. You can give options like Curved, Bold, Italics and Outlining font options.

Upload Images

A well-created background with the image of couple in the center is a lot in trend these days. Now, you might not have the image that the couple is willing to use. But, you can let them upload the photograph from their device. Before you provide with a facility like this one, you must ensure that your product designer tool is compatible with different file formats. This makes it easy for your customers to work around your software and for you to print the final output you receive. If you can ensure that your tool is mobile responsive and enables your customers to upload pictures from their mobile gallery or social media; nothing like it!

Option to Save

Let us say if the couple is jointly involved in making a card. Or what if they want suggestions from their family and do not design the card at once? During such times, they might want to save the design and come back later. Through the “save design” feature of your product customization software, the couple can save the design. Couples that are about to get married often keep busy with other tasks. An option like this one makes their task easy and stress-free. After they are done designing the card, you can also give them a preview of the card.

Weddings are a precious and the most memorable part of anyone’s life. If you are an ecommerce store owner, make it special for your customer through a wedding card custom product designer tool. Happy selling!

Finding designer clothing for the plus sized figure is much easier than you would, at first glance, think. These days all sizes and shapes are celebrated and just because you may be smaller or larger than average doesn't mean that you shouldn't be able to source fashion to suit your body.

The best place to start your quest to find the perfect designer clothes for the plus sized figure is online. In a world that is increasingly dominated by the internet it's going to be your best friend in finding beautifully fitting designer clothing that is both affordable and that keeps up with trends.

There are many companies online that deal with all the latest designs for the fuller figure that start at size twelve or fourteen and go right up to a size thirty four or thirty six. They offer competitive prices and the latest in fashions, such as bold prints, maxi dresses, color blocking. This season's trends for the fuller figure still include strong primary colors, touches of monochrome and pretty pastel shades. The dress is still a major player whether it be a capped sleeve or an off the shoulder number for a dressy evening look.

Key designer names to look out for, being as they primarily cater to the plus size market are Elena Miro and Anna Scholz, both of whom have a great following. Elena Miro has very often showcased at Milano Fashion Week and this year her work features a strong take on classic cuts made modern, with more than a nod to hit shows like "Mad Men" in the styling and cut of the fabrics used. Anna Scholz's fashion is very much tailored to the "everyday" with pretty prints, kaftans and beautifully cut shirts and dresses that are comfortable and flattering for the plus size figure. Both ranges are available for purchase online and have comprehensive catalogs to browse and choose from.

The important thing to remember is that rules are made to be broken in fashion. Just because a woman has a fuller figure it doesn't mean they can't wear the latest fashion trends and designs. You don't have to stick to black and white because it's perceived to be slimming. A color block of one other color can work just as effectively and make you feel and look so much less drab! The same also goes for the notion that horizontal stripes and skinny jeans are out. One look at the plus-sized designer websites will tell you that this is certainly not true. The most important thing is to have fun and wear what feels right for you.

Over the years, when people hear I am involved in corporate training, they automatically think of me as a standup trainer delivering instruction to a class. So here is my answer.

I ask them…”Do you know the difference between a CPA and a bookkeeper?” Yes, a bookkeeper performs a specific set of daily tasks while the CPA thinks more strategically to encompass multiple financial accounting systems.

Just like the CPA, the instructional designer attempts to define training at a more strategic level using a systematic approach to learning. They seem to “get it”.

And the next question is, “what is an instructional design system”?

Instructional design is NOT a secret formula. It is common sense applied to design, development and delivery of instruction. But all too often when an organization needs to train a bunch of people quickly they panic and instructional methodology along with good basic common sense goes out the window.

They are more concerned about using a new technology delivery platform or getting something done within a ridiculous timeframe and don’t want to take time or listen to sound educational reasoning.

It is incumbent upon the instructional designer to get the team to stop…. relax, and think about the fundamentals of why you are developing instruction in the first place…to teach someone how to do something new. It is that simple. Here are some time proven tips:

• Don’t make it more complex than it has to be. Keep it simple!
• Don’t use a lot of technical jargon, keep the dialog open to all involved.
• Help others to find the beauty of simplicity of just doing what you say you are going to do, not over-promise nor agree to unreasonable expectations.
• Look for the easiest, fastest, simplest solution.

I have actually been in a situation where we were battling over which vendor to choose to develop a CBT system (costing $5 – 10K) when we “discovered” that a well-planned printed checklist distributed by email might be more useful. Common sense prevailed before the corporate dollars were committed… you can affect the bottom line at work! Looking for new ways to deliver instruction? Consult with an instructional designer and make it happen.

Christian Dior lived from January 21st 1905 to October 1957. Dior was a French designer. He founded one of the top fashion houses in the world. The fashion house is now under the ownership of Groupe Arnault.

Christian was born in a water town, within the coastal region of Normandy, France. The town is referred to as Granville. He was born second of five children. He was the child of Maurice Dior. The elder Dior was a prosperous producer of fertilizer. The firm of the family was Dior Frères. His mother was formerly known as Isabelle Cardamone. Dior had four siblings: Raymond, Bernard, Jacqueline and Catherine. The familial unit made the move to Paris when Christian was five years old. The entire family returned time and again to the Normandy coastal region while on Holiday in the summertime.

The family wanted the eventual designer to become a diplomat. Dior, though, was quite expressive and had an artistic bent. He was moved by emotion when he worked in the field of art. Dior earned money from the sale of his fashion blueprints. He was paid ten cents (US) for each drawing. Dior left school, eventually. In 1928, he attained money from his father. With the money, he financed a modest gallery of art. He and an acquaintance sold art to patrons, by famous artists such as Pablo Picasso. Dior's mother and brother passed away-three years later. Financial hardship became a reality. A financial disaster to the family fertilizer business happened during the Great Depression. The gallery closed its doors as well.

Dior became the employee of the well-known designer of fashion: Robert Piguet. The preceding event occurred in 1937. The famous designer allowed Dior to create fashions for three of his collections. It was through the instruction of Piguet that Dior learned the valuable lesson of fashion simplicity. A day dress which was referred to as "Café Anglais" was welcomed by the general public. Dior worked, in conjunction with Pierre Balmain and was succeeded by Marc Bohan. Marc Bohan became the head of design at Christian Dior Paris, during the 60s. Dior parted ways with Piguet when he was called into military service.

Dior left the Army in 1942. When he did, he joined the fashion house of Lucien Lelong. Balmain and Dior were the key designers at the fashion house. Dior remained an employee at the house for the remainder of World War II. He worked tirelessly in his labors to preserve the fashion industry during the war. His dedication was based on artistic and economic beliefs. Christian Dior fashionably clothed the spouses of the Nazi officers. Other fashion houses did the same-fashion venues such as Jeanne Lanvin, Nina Ricci, and Jean Patou. Dior's sister, Catherine (1917 – 2008) was a member of the French resistance. She was captured by the Gestapo, at the time, and sent to a concentration camp. She remained incarcerated at the concentration camp until she was liberated in May of 1945.

The most prosperous man in France, in 1946, was Marcel Boussac. Boussac invited Dior to become a designer for Philippe et Gaston-a fashion house in Paris-established in 1925. Dior, however, wanted to make a name for himself and establish his own business. He was backed by Boussac in founding his fashion house. Dior's first line was named Corolle. Corolle was presented to the public on February 12th of 1947. The name in English means circlet of flower petals. The phrase of New Look was the name given to the line by Carmel Snow, Editor-in-Chief of Harper's Bazaar.

The Dior designs had much more in the way of depth and volume than the boxier shapes of the World War II era. The World War II fashion was in line with conservation of material. Dior was a masterful genius in way of establishing beautiful silhouettes. He combined fabrics lined with percale and provided much in the way of bodices supporting a fuller-style. His design involved a style where models tended to appear more curvaceous. His dresses flared out from the waist area. The area of ​​the waist was uniquely small.

Some women did not like the additional fabric, at first, due to the conservation of fabric found in the designs of the forties. The opposition eventually became a thing of the past when the shortages of World War II ended. The "New Look" provided women with a revolutionary form of dress. His design reestablished Paris as a center of fashion.

Dior passed away while on Holiday in Montecatini, Italy. The date was October 24th of 1957. Prior to his passing, Dior was nominated, in 1955, for Best Costume Design. His design was created for Terminal Station. The director was Vittorio De Sica. The film was produced in 1953. After his death, in 1967, the fashion designer was nominated for a BAFTA, for Best British Costume Color for Arabesque-directed by Stanley Donen (1966).

In conclusion, the Dior legend lives on: Many artists, since the 50s have mentioned the name Dior in their songs and in their stories.

Launching a website isn’t easy.

It takes time, effort and most of all, money to launch a new site that looks great and performs effortlessly for its visitors.

And there are so many moving parts involved. We’re talking about the design aspect, SEO, back-end support, compliance, sales, marketing and IT.

In this article, we’re going to focus on one important aspect: web design.

The look of your site is important because of one reason: people today are impatient.

They’ve got so many options, the only way you can stop them from clicking the back button is how your site looks like.

Is it beautiful?

Professional?

“Zen” like?

Appealing?

Below is a list of things your web designer needs you to do in order to make your launch successful.

Use this article as your checklist when it’s time to launch your site. This will help the process be the most efficient.

Learn the lingo and get my free guide on basic website terminologies.

Give approval for the site to launch

Usually, this is done via email. By this time any forms or paperwork should’ve already been done. The key stakeholders have already decided the official date and the development and quality checks are complete. But, you need to actually tell your designer you’re ready to go.

Provide access to FTP, DNS, and CMS

FTP access is used for uploading files to the server directly. This includes images, content, and plugins needed to run your site.

The DNS is the domain settings. A web designer configures it to point visitors to the new site.

CMS is the actual website backend the designer needs access to make further changes. Granting access to the current site’s CMS allows the designer to back up the site. That way, he or she can revert the site back to its original state if something does go wrong.

Select the final images for use on the site

In some cases, the client lets the designer pick the images to use on the site. However, there are situations where the client picks the images… it just depends on the project.

Whichever is the case, make sure that every image is of high-resolution with no watermark. Also, sort out the copyright when purchasing stock images.

Arrange a meeting with the person managing the site moving forward

If the designer isn’t part of your business, make sure he or she gets to talk to your appointed site manager.

Your site manager could be an IT personnel or the marketing manager. During this time, the designer may explain how to do a simple housekeeping or basic configuration.

I highly recommend that you have your designer on standby 5 to 7 days after launch.

Wrap Up

From my experience, I love to hear from clients when their new site meets or exceed their expectations.

Remember, designers are humans, too.

They crave encouragement and accolades. So if you wish to build a long-term relationship with your designers, don’t skimp on feedback or compliments. These things drive us forward to serve you better and make sure that your business is well taken care of.

Final Thoughts

Launching a website is simple. All you need to do is to have constant communication with your designer at all times.

In fact, having the right team by your side guarantees that your site is up and running as quick as it can.

UI is the engine of the rocket that drives a user to next frontier, but UX is the fuel that powers the engine. To talk about UI in 2018 is to talk about UX.

The UI design trends of 2018 might surprise you to an extent. Since this year is full of accessibility than of looks. Your efforts on every single pixel should be more aligned towards user-friendliness as opposed to working hard on animation, good looks or color overlaps.

Let’s see the design trends that are likely to make the headlines by storm.

• Board The Train Of Usability Engineering Usability Engineering would be the new UX in 2018. Since the past year has seen a major paradigm of Bitcoin, Amazon Alexa, Cortana, and Blockchain ascertaining the actual potential for mass adoption triggering the emergent need of usability that fits for the masses. In an essence, your design style should be so user-friendly that even a kindergarten student can understand it.

• Clear Visual Language Remove the unnecessary noise, visual clutter and give a content-centered experience. A well articulated and easily readable content appeals the target users. So, prioritize your content, remove irrelevant noise and elaborate clean and clear visual language.

• Voice Activated Interfaces Simplify the operations of users by applying voice-activated interfaces. Siri has advanced this trend prompting users to take action by voice rather than the conventional use of clicking buttons. Other than this, you can also chance upon other juxtaposed techniques like fingerprint activated interfaces which reduce the work of clicking.

• Strong Colors and Contrasted Fonts For Enhanced Readability Make the design speak for itself by making use of vibrant colors. Colors have the power to draw attention, evoke emotions and trigger actions.

• Natural Curves and Simple Geometry Adopt a basic look with simple curves and geometry this fall. Avoid the excessive use of colors, graphics, buttons, animations, pictures and complex elements that make your design look extra clumsy and mind jogging.

• Full-Screen Experiences iPhone X is here. Undoubtedly a trendsetter which gives audiences a new goal of having full-screen experience in whatever they view on their phone. Besides this, the trend doesn’t set off here. The quality of images is equally important that directly influences user’s orient towards your app.

Wrapping up, 2018 this time would be much more influenced by ethical ramifications of user’s design choices, pushing designers to focus on ethics. The interconnection between users’ behavior and design philosophy would be weaved as a single entity. Hence, UX wins over and becomes the new black.

UI & UX development companies need to strictly adhere to these UI/UX design trends in order to win the new age customers.

A family of three who prefer one bedroom might want a big bed with ample storage facility.

• What changes do you need in your bedroom’s design?

Before calling a bedroom interior designer, you need to figure out what features are missing in your bedroom and what all changes you need to make it just like you dreamt.

When it comes to a wheelchair friendly bedroom, it has to be planned from the starting.

If you have toddlers at your place, designing of the bedroom should be according to kids. Also, the design of your bedroom can be suitable to your profession. Like a photographer may use some dark furniture in the bedroom for creative shots whereas wine aficionados might need a hidden cupboard to preserve their collection.

• How much time and money you will have to invest?

Every bedroom looks amazing when staged by a professional interior designer but maintaining it the way it looks is quite daunting. Curtains and furnishings with lighter shade need to be dry cleaned than those with darker shades. Also, you need to keep an eye on your budget.
