Adding a Lettering Design Component to Website

I have a customer that needs a component added to their existing website. They are a sign company and would like customers to be able to design their sign, preview their sign and then send it all to the cart. I have tried to figure this out but I am not that advanced in the programming of databases. Quite frankly I don't know where to start! Any help would be greatly appreciated. Whether you want to point me in the right direction or if you want to design this yourself. We can pay you if you design this.

We would really prefer not to copy everyone else's but use the same idea. If we have to do the same thing then that is fine.

Here are a few examples of sites out there with this concept:

http://www.speedysigns.com/lettering/lettering_tool.asp (most common)
http://www.signspecialist.com/lettering/lettering.html
http://www.uncleroys.com/design-sign...signtype=vinyl
http://www.greatlettering.com/designlettering.aspx
http://www.javasigns.com/tools/lt/4362

I understand that these examples are using different programming, I am just looking for the concept. I don't want to use the look of the site just the concept.

The database stuff is pretty much straightforward. The bulk of the work is in programming whatever image creation component is being used.

Use GDI+ it's very easy.


Private Sub RenderText6(ByVal e As PaintEventArgs)
Dim flags As TextFormatFlags = TextFormatFlags.Bottom Or _
TextFormatFlags.EndEllipsis
TextRenderer.DrawText(e.Graphics, _
"This is some text that will be clipped at the end.", _
Me.Font, New Rectangle(10, 10, 100, 50), SystemColors.ControlText, flags)
End Sub


Dim fontFamily As New FontFamily("Arial")
Dim font As New Font( _
fontFamily, _
16, _
FontStyle.Regular, _
GraphicsUnit.Pixel)

Etc. All of these external components to do basic things are so last century.
