We are pleased to announce the launch of our latest client site: stickermule.com. This is an e-commerce site where you can purchase custom stickers for just about every scenario you can think of. Customers upload their artwork and specify the exact size and quantity combinations they desire. The StickerMule artists will send you a proof which you need to sign off on before the stickers are printed. You can go back and forth with the designers until you are satisfied with the design. They also offer custom cut stickers so you can get stickers that are cut in the shape of your artwork. We have a bunch of them in the office with the Rails Dog logo.

There are several technical features of this site that we think are pretty interesting. The custom artwork is uploaded via a Flash uploader and the images themselves are stored remotely using Amazon's S3 cloud storage. The site itself is running on Spree with several custom screens on the backend to handle their specific business rules pertaining to artwork. We also deployed the site "in the cloud" using Heroku. Heroku is an excellent platform that we have been following for quite some time. We're quite pleased with Heroku so far and we'll be doing a more detailed write up on using Spree with Heroku in the near future.

If you're interested in getting some custom stickers made for your business or website be sure to pay these guys a visit. Use the promo code "SPREE" between now and April 31 and get $50 off your order.
