Hi John,
I'm starting up a marketing communications business and have various web design contacts - can I ask what your budget / deadline is and we could take it from there?
My email is philipelwell@hotmail.com

Hi John,
I will do some investigating for you and let you know - my web designers usually deal with more static sites with animation but I think I know someone who may be able to help.
Back soon,
Regards

The vistaprint site is an extremely complex site, with its online print designer, and to get anything close to that for your own site you will be talking a lot of money - how much do you think vistaprint have invested in their site's development, five, six, seven figure sums?
To create such a site requires more than just web design skills, it also requires web development skills, Flash/Ajax skills for the online designer, ecommerce skills, infrastructure skills, etc.
Since it is such a complex task you really need to find some supplier who has done this thing before in order to minimise risk. The only supplier I can think of who has done something similar before, on a smaller scale, is www.ecinteractive.co.uk, who are behind the www.whitesparks.co.uk online business card designer. If you look around you might find other suppliers who have done something similar before - if you see any other website with an online print/business card designer, have a look at the bottom of the page to see if the company who developed the site is listed.
Aside from the site development costs, you will also have to think about the sourcing of graphic design templates for the online print designer, which will be another major cost.
