Elite Custom Glass came to us with an idea for a website that few have been able to do before. They wanted to allow consumers to purchase customized shapes, sizes and colors of glass.

Since we needed to account for the shipment of oversized  of glass, we also created a custom shipping plugin that would be able to select from the most appropriate courier based on glass size.
