Need to create a website for font previews (Etsy Shop)

    I’m new to WordPress and would like to create a “website” solely to link to on my Etsy shop that would allow buyers to preview fonts I offer for my custom signs before purchasing. Is there a simple way I can go about doing this on WordPress? These would be custom .otf/.ttf font files, not Google fonts.

    Hi –

    I think the best way to do this is to upload the different fonts as images to the site and display them in a gallery format with a caption that says the title of each item.

    Thank you for your response. I would like my customers to be able to type in a word (in a text field), such as a name etc, and be able to see their word in several different fonts so that they can choose. I don’t want just a photo of say, one word only. I want it to be customizable.

    Hi there,

    You can achieve that with the use of a plugin like Fontsampler:

    However, to install plugins on WordPress.com you need to upgrade to the Business plan.

    If you have any other questions, just let me know and I’ll be happy to help.
