One our our existing clients, feedaread.com (who enable anyone to print their own book/paperback),got in touch recently about a new site to fill a gap in the market - and as a result, www.createabookcover.com was born.
The site has a wide range of cover designs that can be customised online by the customer and saved as a high resolution file suitable to ebook websites such as Amazon, Createspace, Barnes & Noble etc.
There are literally hundreds of styles of designs suitable for any book genre from technology to thriller to horror to romance. There are also a wide range of fonts that you can choose from to make your book title really stand out - as well as shadow effects, colours etc.
The initial brief that Zarr was given was that the site needed to generate high-resolution images as the end product, whilst giving the customer a majorly cut down version of Photoshop to allow them to move text around, change size, colour, font style etc.
From this brief we developed a customised solution integrated with the Stripe payment gateway for payment, which allows people to see in realtime the modifications/changes they make to their cover (making extensive use of our own Javascript framework developed just for this project) and checkout/pay and download their cover which can be uploaded direct to ebook publishers.
Edward, owner of the site said "I'm really happy with the site - it looks and operates much better than I expected and is really easy to use. Thanks to everyone at Zarr for another site (making three in total) that they've designed and developed for me."
