This site was set up by my brother and I in order to sell personalised toy boxes produced by Steve Allen. After working with Steve on the website I did for his company and seeing how well his Toyboxes sold I decided to try selling them for myself and so Custom Toybox was born.

Features
The site is coded in PHP and XHTML and utilises Cascading Style Sheets in a tableless design.
The site includes a flash based preview system that allows visitors to preview how their child's toybox will look before they order. Actionscript is used in the flash movie to calculate the position of each letter within an arc shape based on both the length of the word and the width of the individual letter.
Orders are processed through Google Checkout the new online payment system from Google. This allows me to leave the collection and storage of customer details to Google and prevent any DPA issues that may occur with storing the personal details of customers.
