MD Frames: Revolutionizing Custom Framing with Interactive E-Commerce
An immersive e-commerce platform and custom framing studio allowing users to visually configure, personalize, and purchase bespoke frames in real-time.
Overview
We built MD Frames—a cutting-edge web application that bridges the gap between physical retail and digital commerce. At its core is the Studio Configurator, an interactive canvas that lets users upload their artwork, apply various frames, and instantly visualize the final result.
The Challenge
The custom framing industry often struggles to provide customers with an accurate preview of their final product. Users need to visualize different frame materials, sizes, and matting options before making a high-ticket purchase.
Our Solution
We developed a dynamic React-Konva powered studio configurator paired with a sleek e-commerce storefront and a dedicated admin portal. MD Frames offers a complete end-to-end solution for modern custom framing with high-performance animations and secure database management.
