SpecTHIS.info
We developed this web app to help designers include all the necessary information to get an accurate print estimate.
At Floodlight, we believe in educating our clients about the web.
We will continue to use this space as an archive of frequent questions we've received from the designers we work with as well as posting code snippets as our contribution back to the open source community.
So, what’s the catch?
All we ask is that you continue to believe that the creation of true excellence is done by a collaboration of people who are all doing what they do best. Continue to be an exceptional designer, copywriter, blogger, business owner and inspire and challenge others by pushing the envelope. We don't settle for mediocrity and either should you.
