Title: Onestringers wrap design program!!!!
Post by: huntmaster80 on July 12, 2012, 06:11:00 PM
Well I just finished up designing some new wraps on "Onestringers" site, and I have to say it was a very positive experience   :knothead:    :knothead:  duhhh.

If you use wraps on your arrows, you need to check this new feature out it is really cool!!! I will post some pics of my new wraps when they arrive, I am also looking forward to  seeing some really cool designs in the near future.

I agree. I think they have hit a home run with this one. The possibilities are endless  :thumbsup:

Same here.  Easy as pie.  Sent a few suggestions/long term goals, but man it was pretty painless.

Y'all go git ya sum!!!!!

I just thought of something.  It sure would be nice to be able to save your design for later.  Was that an option?

I ordered several dozen cause I wasnt sure if I could pull up my past designs. If you go into your order history, you can see what you have ordered in the past, so Im sure you could just order more.

Just took my turn with Soctt's experiment.  you can tell he put some time in this and it worked as easy as could be for such a custom product.

Well, since Adam got the input post going thought I would add my comment here as well and send them also to Scott by PM.

Ok sir here is my part of the bargain, some feedback.

1. First off was trying to figure out how to register a new user account.  I know this is not part of the design feature but to use it the instructions were to login. And to do so as a first time user you need an account.  It took me a few minutes to figure how to register a new account.  Perhaps a separate button labeled "New Account" would be helpful, just a thought.
2. Once in I was able to navigate pretty easily through the options, seemed to be self explanatory for the most part.  I actually found the pop up notes a little bit of a hindrances except for the one directing you to color options with cresting bars etc...
3. As for the width size drop down options, wasn't sure what size I needed and that took me a few minutes to locate the information from the F.A.Q button.  Again if this was somehow connected to this feature it would be more helpful.
4. A note to the user to be sure that they are completely through before proceeding to checkout may again be helpful...it should go without saying but as a tester ...ahem not that I would make such a mistake to hit the proceed to checkout button to then realize that one more change was needed to attempt that change only to have everything somehow erase... ahem...but it could happen, just saying.

Overall a pleasant experience but like someone else mentioned that if you don't go in with a design in mind you may spend 2 hours playing around...but that's a good thing for you, more time spent may equal more money spent!

I tried it from my Mac and it worked great. Designed a wrap with a couple fades, tiger stripe, in pink. Should be interesting to see the final product.

Thanks one stringer !

Played for 30 minutes, couldn't get it figured out.... I love traditional wraps, favorite being the red, blue, yellow and orange as a primary color plus the other color being white...if I had each of these 4 wraps, that would be all I need. Buying them from a certain supply house with the State of Alaska in the name is way too expensive plus they don't have them in various widths... Anybody willing to help design these?

I'll tell you how good they are. I placed and order for goods a while back and they were a little late on the order. When my order came so did the money I paid for it.

I am not doing so good on my design work.

I want to lay a diamond plate pattern down and then fade it into white, then add a crest.

I can't change colors on anything I pick.

I can't get the crest pattern I want set up.

One thing that would be nice on the drop down menus (that ARE very helpful) is to highlight or detail what width is for what type arrow (Axis, Gold Tip, 21xx-23xx aluminum for instance)

Folks,

Just got back from vacation, kind of did that on purpose.  

Some of the suggestions have already been implemented.  Such as a ruler, and the color changer, and base colors, and viewing order history.  Still weeding through all the suggestions so far I will respond as soon as I can.

Steve O everything you stated above is possible.  I will try to walk you through it.

Step 1 Diamond Plate Background
Step 2 Images, select fade
Step 3 Color selecter below the fade, select and change color
Step 4 Images cresting bars, change the color just like you did the fade.

Made this in about a minute.

The design feature won't be for everyone.  We will still always continue to take custom requests, this feature is just for those that want to take a shot at designing their own.

Just got done trying it out . I think it is really cool to be able to design your own wraps at basically the touch of a button. I found that for myself it was very easy to navigate thu and make a custom wrap in only a few minutes. I have to add that I can see it taking people a long time with all the options if you don't have some type of idea in your head already, not that it is a bad thing . Thanks very much for the chance to try it out and I will be making more custom wraps for sure !

Did my own design this morning.  This was VERY easy and nice to be able to get exactly what I wanted and see how it's going to look.  I kept it simple, white base, "Cresting" is actually a picture of a Marine Corps ribbon (Desert Storm) on the front end of wrap and "Semper Fi" in yellow outlined in red on the back end.  The ruler would have been nice to make sure the "cresting" is the length I wanted.

Well, I guess I am one of the "challenged" ones   :D    

I sent you a PM for more help.

I have a new one for you.  I tried to upload a pic to add into a white background.  The picture did not show when I clicked on the left side.  Only when I was giving up to start over and clicked the red x next to the image box did the image show...and then it was gone!

Scott and Mindy

Just finished a new batch of arrows with the wraps that I designed by myself from your website and I can absolutely say that these are the best looking arrows I've ever made.

The "design your own" feature is very user friendly.  If anyone wants to utilize this feature, all they need to do is follow the red balloons and produce exactly what they want step by step.

I was able to use existing backgrounds and graphics from the site but I appreciate the ability to download my own images should I want to in the future.  It took me less than 15 minutes to complete my wraps.  

It may be helpful to a novice to link the arrow size charts directly to the "width" drop down or advise up front to read the FAQ's before starting.  Me being me, I didn't think I needed instructions and it took me a while to figure out where to find that info.  Other than that, not one problem.

As always, you provide an outstanding product at an unbeatable price.  You have, in me, a customer for life.  The fact that you also provide a few extra mulligans with each order, is a definite plus as I had to use one this time.

Only limited by your imagination with this one.

Thank you for a great product
