A wealth of design options with OPS CORE
At Flex4 we believe it is important that the design of your website helps to differentiate you from other online print brands. We also realise however, that some print businesses have a limited budget available, so OPS CORE includes a range of design options.
There are five options with regards to the design of your print eCommerce solution:
- OPS entry level theme: your brand logo and brand colour
- This option provides you with a single theme which is customised with your logo and colour scheme.
- Choice of OPS theme: your brand logo and brand colour
- In this case you are able to choose from 5 different themes and your chosen theme is again customised with your logo and colour scheme
- Choice of OPS theme: full design customisation
- This options allows you to ‘mix and match’ elements from any of the 5 different design themes and includes full design customisation.
- Replication of existing brand website header and styling
- If you have an existing website and need to integrate OPS CORE with it, this option is based on a theme where the header and overall design styling match your existing website.
- Bespoke development design
- Where a custom user journey is required and bespoke functionality is being developed there is often a necessity for the creation of both wireframes and bespoke design.
