Ordering Process from C Ribet at FineArtAmerica

I want to explain the ordering process from this artist website hosted by FineAartAmerica and how the FineArtAmerica printing and fulfillment process works for open editions and cards and the like vs. the limited editions at CRibet.com online art gallery. All steps in the creative process including printing of the final print for limited editions is done by me, but for the open editions printing and fulfillment is handled by FineArtAmerica. For stretched canvas C Ribet artwork, art on acrylic or art on metal, only FineArtAmerica open editions are available. I can't print myself on acrylic or metal, but they can. Similarly, the note cards FineArtAmerica prints are superior quality than the cards I used to print myself, so you should buy greeting cards at this web gallery.

How the FineArtAmerica fulfillment and ordering works:

1. Browse images here at the website (this is http://c-ribet.artistwebsites.com) hosted through FineArtAmerica

2. Select an image you want as a print, card etc. and click on it to go to that image detail page
- on the right you will see options for art products (Canvas Print, Framed Print, Cards etc.)
- click on the price below the art product you would like to get to the next screen

3. Product Selection Screen
- the screen background color changes depending up on the art product (usually to white)
- pick the image size
- Follow the steps in the tabs on the right of the page
- e.g. for Framing 1. Size 2. Frame 3. Mat 4. Paper 5. Finish
- when done (you can preview frames and mats online) click the blue arrow 'ADD TO CART'

4. Shopping Cart (still http only, not yet https)
- here confirm the selections in your order then click the top right blue arror 'Check Out'

5. Login/Guest Page (still http only - no confidential information yet...)
- use the login feature if you are a FineArtAmerica member or checkout as Guest

7. Confirmation of order and order Preview (https security continues)

- confirm that your order is correct and place the order

8. Thank you page
- you may now end up at a page at "http://artistwebsites.com" which is the top level domain for c-ribet.artistwebsites.com
