Business cards, T-shirts


After comparing a few services, we decided to go for Vistaprint.ca to order our business cards and t-shirts, especially in preparation for the upcoming FMF.

Overall it makes a decent product for a decent price. (I have ordered their business cards and stamps in the past for my medical prof. corp.) However, I have to say they really need to work on their website. For instance, when one changes the text on the business card, it will not update it right away on the "on-line proof" stage. How can you proof it if you can't see the updated text? However, the updated text will eventually make itself home in the business card on next stage after you proof the "un-updated" text.

Or what about the fact that after spending 30 minutes on a t-shirt design, you can only order it in one size. You cannot order 2 in medium size and 2 in large size. Or let's say now you want to use the same design but change the t-shirt for "women's t-shirt". Not only does it cost more than a "men's t-shirt" you have to start the whole designing process again! Of course, you can order as many women's shirts as long as they are all the same size! If you want a different size, be prepared to repeat the whole designing process.

Anyhow, it still is more convenient than having to drive to a shop and go back and forth over a few days to design a business card or a shirt. I would give 3 stars out of 5, given all the problems with the web user interface.

Here's some teasers, but for the real shirts (and the real models!) meet us at the FMF!
