Web based printing has been one of the fastest growing categories in the photo industry and the photo gifting market is also experiencing rapid growth both nationally and globally.

With over 15 years of software development experience in the Photographics market, Whitech has evolved to become the creator of an industry-leading Web based photo print service (Imagine Web) that sets new standards against other online solutions.

Imagine Web is a white label hosted service that is designed to drive revenue and traffic to your business. It is a Rich Internet Application, meaning that it operates through an internet browser. There is no downloading of software required to get started and it runs on both Mac and PC allowing customers to access the application from home, work or abroad.

Imagine Web also provides enormous creative flexibility to the end user without compromising the ease of use. Imagine users find it fun, interactive and a highly rewarding experience. It encourages creativity by the customer and keeps them coming back for more. Customers can also save and share their creation with family and friends. Imagine Web will also tie in perfectly with your existing marketing programs.

Imagine being socially connected - it allows your customers to access their images stored on main stream social networking sites like Flickr, Facebook and MySpace. These images when accessed can be used in Imagine projects. Images can also be accessed from Flickr's extensive public gallery. This comes in handy when a user needs a certain image to complete their project, for example, when creating a Photobooks on Sydney the user can search for images of the Sydney Opera House to add to their project. Finished projects like Photobooks can also be shared with family and friends via the web, for viewing or ordering, thereby extending your market share even further

How does it work?

LOGIN
Customers can explore all the products being offered on your landing page and simply click on a sign in link to launch Imagine Web. They are taken to your company’s version of Imagine Web, where they either register as a first time user, login as a previous user or login as a guest if they just want to explore and try it out.

UPLOAD
Your customers are able to upload a copy of their digital images and related data to the website where they are securely stored on Whitech's hosted server infrastructure.

CREATE
Customers can then choose from literally hundreds of products to assemble and personalise their photos, including photo books, calendars, canvas art, greeting cards, posters, photo gifting items and a host of licensed products.

Short on time? Customers have the option to save their projects online. They can revisit the site at any time to make changes or complete their project.

CHECKOUT
Once a project is complete, the customer can choose from home delivery or in-store pick-up. Full order tracking is also available. Orders are paid for via credit card or PayPal. If you have the capabilities of in-store production, orders can be routed directly to you, otherwise they will be sent to a certified wholesale fulfilment partner for processing and production.
