We don't even have a shopping cart on our site yet. There are so many customizing options, color, size, shape, availability, fonts etc., I don't see where it could all be done on line easily since most of our customers are ordering multiple like or unlike items.
The organized ones have an excel or doc file with the information. Others have scribbled notes. I suspect few of either group likely would want to sit there and key the text in on the site.
There are usually so many questions a new customer would have that it would be difficult to do it all online.
Our website does generate a lot of new leads. But the main point was to show virtually all our products so current customers or new ones that call in who don't want to leave their office can select items.
It will be something to hopefully add down the road but the current setup is working so well there isn't time to make it better just yet. . .
until they want to make be the webmaster instead of the engraver/webmaster!

Colin,
Monika Mathe can do something like this by using OS Commerce and some custom programming. Her contact information can b found at www.monikamathe.com. You'll find her credentials on her website. They will speak for themselves. She is located in Germany.

i would second the recomendation you have been given for Monike. She comes across as a really talented, professional developer on the OSCommerce forum
The options can be as simple or detailed as you need, and can be tailored to each product. On my site I place restrictions of amount of text engraved per line, per product. Of course this takes plenty of administering.
If you can put a really good, tight specification together, I am sure someone like Monike could take a stock application like OSCommerce and tailor to your needs.
There are plenty of unsrupulous developers who tell you it needs to be written from scratch, but actually start off from an Oscommerce, ZenCart etc solution. Caveat Emptor!
