Balbum — A German-language keepsake album where buyers combine cover, inserts, and engraving before ordering. Custom build

A personalised baby album is usually bought as a gift, and often by someone who will never see it filled in. The configurator had to make combining cover, inserts, and engraving feel simple, and show the result clearly enough to order with confidence.

  1. 01

    Make the options combinable

    Modelled cover, inserts, and engraving as independent choices so any combination is reachable in a few taps.

  2. 02

    Show the result before ordering

    Built a live preview of the chosen combination, since most buyers are ordering a gift sight unseen.

  3. 03

    Design for gifting

    Folded wrapping, delivery timing, and a personal note into the same flow rather than a separate step.
