When it comes to custom framing, one of the biggest decisions is whether to choose online framing services or visit a store. Both options have their unique benefits, and deciding which one is right for you depends on your personal needs and preferences. At Frames Now, we offer both in-store and online services, so let’s break down the pros and cons to help you make the best decision.
The Benefits of Framing In-Store
Framing in-store offers a personalised experience that many customers appreciate. Here are a few reasons why visiting a physical location might be the right choice for you:
-
Hands-On Experience
When you visit a Frames Now store, you have the opportunity to see and feel the frame materials in person. Whether it's the texture of a rustic wood frame or the sleek finish of a metal frame, being able to touch and see the samples firsthand can give you a better sense of how your finished piece will look. -
Expert Guidance
In-store, you can work directly with our experienced framers, who can guide you through the process. They’ll help you pick the best frame style, matting options, and even give advice on glass types to protect your artwork. If you’re unsure or overwhelmed by the choices, this one-on-one support can be invaluable. -
Immediate Feedback
Bringing your artwork or item to the store allows you to compare frame styles side-by-side with the actual piece. You can see how the colours, textures, and sizes will complement your artwork in real-time, eliminating the guesswork. -
We frame just about everything!
Online framing is limited to Print and Frame, Readymade Frames, and Made-to-Measure Frames. In our stores, we frame just about everything from 3D objects, memorabilia, war medals, needlework, canvas, and much more.
The Benefits of Framing Online
If convenience is a priority, framing online might be the perfect option for you. Here’s why you might choose this route:
-
Convenience and Flexibility
Framing online allows you to design your frame from the comfort of your home. With just a few clicks, you can upload a photo of your artwork, preview different frame styles, and make your purchase. This is especially convenient if you’re short on time or can’t easily visit one of our stores. -
Time-Saving
For those with busy schedules, online framing is a time-saver. There’s no need to commute or coordinate store visits. Everything can be done on your computer or mobile device, making the process quick and easy. -
Access to a Wide Range of Styles
Our online platform offers an extensive range of readymade frame options, some of which may not be available in-store due to space limitations. You’ll have access to our full collection, ensuring you can find the perfect frame to suit your style and needs.
Which Option is Right for You?
If you’re someone who values a tactile experience, and you want expert guidance, visiting a Frames Now store is the way to go. Our friendly team is always ready to offer their expertise and ensure you walk away with a frame you’ll love.
On the other hand, if you prefer the convenience of shopping from home and want to browse a wide variety of options at your own pace, framing online is an excellent alternative. You’ll still receive the same high-quality Frames Now products, delivered directly to your door.
Why Not Try Both?
At Frames Now, we understand that everyone’s needs are different. That’s why we offer both online and in-store services, allowing you to choose the option that works best for you. Whether you’re framing your favourite family photo, a piece of art, or memorabilia, our goal is to make the process as smooth and enjoyable as possible.
Still unsure? Why not visit us in-store for a consultation and explore our online options at the same time? That way, you get the best of both worlds!
