Question 1

Are these real catalogs?

Accepted Answer

They are sample catalogs, built exactly the way yours would be: a spreadsheet of products, a folder of photographs and a described layout. The companies are invented. The pages, the spec tables and the page counts are real output.

Question 2

How do I share a catalog like this?

Accepted Answer

Every catalog has its own address. Send that link to whoever should see it, or paste the embed snippet into your website so the catalog opens inside your own page.

Question 3

Will a 1,075 page catalog open on a customer's laptop?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and on an ordinary one. Pages are prepared as the reader reaches them, so the first page appears just as quickly in a long catalog as in a short one.

Question 4

What happens when prices change?

Accepted Answer

Update the spreadsheet and export again. Every page that reads from it follows and the link you have already sent out shows the new edition.

Question 5

Can different customers see different prices?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Keep a price column per distributor or per region and export an edition for each. The pages are identical, the numbers are not, and each edition gets its own link.

Question 6

Can I still print it?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The same document exports as a print ready PDF at 300 DPI in CMYK, with 3 mm bleed and crop marks, against your printer's own colour profile.

Question 7

Does the reader need an account?

Accepted Answer

No. They open the link in whatever browser they already have. There is nothing to install and nothing to sign up for.

Question 8

Can I see a catalog built from my own products?

Accepted Answer

That is usually the fastest way to decide. Send us a price list and a handful of photographs and we will show you what your range looks like laid out.
