A Special Invitation

Invite Press was born from a gap in the UK market. Founder Rebecca Davies, originally from the US, was used to sending beautiful, customisable cards, but couldn’t find anything quite like it when she moved to the UK. So she set out to build the solution herself.

The idea was simple: a premium, design-led e-commerce site where customers could customise every element of a card and receive print-ready artwork.

The execution, however, required a highly complex technical architecture, refined UX, and a polished visual experience.

Rebecca approached London agencies first but found the costs eye-watering. What she needed was a partner who could offer that level of capability without the London price tag.

What We Did

  • Built a custom WordPress e-commerce site
  • Developed dynamic card customisation functionality
  • Created automated workflows to generate print-ready PDFs
  • Integrated multi-option product configuration (paper type, quantity, message, design)
  • Interpreted and delivered a high-end design aesthetic
  • Provided secure hosting and long-term support

Getting Ready for Press

Rebecca found Vu through a former client and quickly realised she could achieve the same level of quality from a Devon-based agency at a much more reasonable cost.

She brought a clear vision and a strong brand aesthetic. Our role was to translate that into a high-performing site that looked great, worked flawlessly, and handled the complex customisation workflow behind the scenes.

The result was more than just an e-commerce platform. We built the technical backbone of a business that gives customers creative control while automating the entire production process.

The Solution

A bespoke, design-led ecommerce platform with custom print automation, built locally and affordably for a London-based founder.

Invite Press now has a high-end website that not only delivers an exceptional user experience but also manages complex backend processes.

Rebecca has peace of mind, a scalable platform, and a trusted digital partner,all without the London overhead.

“I am delighted with the result and pleased that Vu understood my vision and executed it so well.”
