Introduction
Fun. Easy. Design.
With Banner Works, design just became a grade-school playground without the bullies and bloody noses.
We believe the only limit to a person's ability to design is the tools they use. It doesn't matter if you're a hotshot Art major just out of college, or if you're a grandmother who's just sent your first e-mail, our design technology is the perfect tool for empowering your creativity and making your message too large to ignore.
Never before has anyone had this level of control over what they can design online. Our technologies let you literally create and edit a design with unlimited freedom, directly inside an Internet browser. Basically, we provide the functionality of Illustrator, online and free for anyone to use.
Above all, we take the world's most advanced design, creativity, imagination and production technology and give you total control at the household level. And with six and a half years of development behind the project, and our team's 25 years of experience in the print industry, we have the perfect recipe for innovation and excellence.
To the Designer
Release the creativity you've never had the chance to express.
Our products empower the creativity of the common man, turning design back into art. Michelangelo used a chisel. Monet had a paintbrush. You are a modern-day mouse-wielding Van Gogh. And with every stroke, you expertly add millions of drops of ink to a gigantic canvas.
You see, the delicious:suite technology isn't just software, it's an entire production engine. From the moment you log into a delicious:suite-powered site, the vendor's production equipment is poised to obey your every command. Clicking "Publish" sends the entire print shop into motion, giving you complete control over the most advanced printers in the world. Your artwork travels over 6,000 miles, is processed by at least 15 computers, and is passed almost instantaneously into the printer's queue. Within ten minutes, over 600 million ink droplets are placed precisely on the media and soon thereafter, your print is ready to be shipped to you.
To the Technology Geek
Banner Works is the biggest innovation in creative tools since the pencil. It's mercifully easy, satisfyingly comfortable, unimposing technology that gets out of your way so you can be on yours.
This is a Web 2.0 technology - the most advanced design tool available through a browser. It makes any printing niche, ex: large format printing, a household item. It is an infrastructure to allow for 100% automation of graphics output — the first step towards eliminating pre-press entirely.
Banner Works (noun). Design’s guilty pleasure.
