I'm a web developer, and a graphic designer friend of mine might be laid off from work soon (he's a photojournalist but the newspaper he works for is mismanaged and possibly going out of business)... so we've been toying with the idea of starting a botique t-shirt company (possibly with another friend who has a background in graffiti art).
But none of us really know much about it, and we'd really rather not handle inventory and shipping, etc. We've looked into CafePress, and I have used them for other projects in the past, but I am really not very pleased with their print quality. Perhaps it has improved in the past couple of years, but combined with the high cut they take and a lack of t-shirt colors and choices that we'd want--it's just not for us.
As I understand it, PrintMojo will print your shirts, and handle ordering and fulfillment. Perfect! The only difference is that you have to order your inventory upfront.
My question is, how much customization of my storefront is possible with PrintMojo? As a web designer, I would like to be able to play to my strengths and have as much control over my store front as possible. I'd also rather if my customers didn't know that they were ordering through PrintMojo until checkout (or at all, if possible
). With CafePress you can actually fairly thoroughly control the look of the storefront, store customer orders serverside in a shopping cart and only send them to CafePress at checkout--which is a strength of CP.
How about with PrintMojo, though? Do they offer a developer API or something? Any example PrintMojo-powered stores I could see that have been customized as much as possible?
Thanks.
