A network-based system and method for specifying, ordering, and distributing mass-customized consumer soft goods, such as apparel and shoes, provides a highly interactive, event-driven design interface that allows a customer to design an individualized product, without following a prescribed sequence. A product image is updated in real-time, allowing the customer to preview their design choices. The design interface comes in a client-side applet, adapted to use the computing resources of the customer's computer, rather than those of a server. One embodiment provides a system and method for designing and specifying customized shoes over the Internet. The highly interactive shoe-design tool allows the vendor to offer an extremely fine level of customization, wherein the customer can specify almost every detail of a shoe's appearance. The system enables customers to design, order and receive customized products directly form producers without leaving home or workplace. |
