[Idea] Online Photo Coffee Table Book DIY software - Pay with Bitcoin

[Kakmakr]

A friend of mine have a little professional photography business and he is making tons of money by creating very good coffee books from photos that he took at things like Weddings / Year End functions / 21's Birthday etc.

I gave him the idea to create a online website where people can order the Book by dumping all their photos onto a empty template of the book and then he will do the final touches and editing and compilation and print these books for them. <He gets massive discounts for bulk printing>

His designs is very professional, but he lacks the knowledge to go online with this business. He already accepts Bitcoin as a payment option, when the interaction is face to face.

Is there any commercial software to do this or similar projects? Where would he have to start and with what kind of budget?

Not sure if there are any website exists that has such function. I would suggest a google search with keywords like "good coffee books from photos" etc.

I am having a thought if you are looking for something like snapefish?

What the hell is a cofee book?I`ve searched Google and it shows books about coffee.
Do you mean coffee book cover or a coffee table book?Creating ebook covers is one of the most in demand online services.There are lots of freelancers on fiverr and upwork,that create book covers.
There are lots of online tools that make the book cover creation process easy.Any good designer can create an ebook cover with Canva.Your friend doesn`t need a budget.He needs online promotion,but the competition is furious.
The creation of coffee table books is a completely different niche and I don`t know about such software.

I use http://www.blurb.com for the same task.
Profit get small because the print companies take all the profit if you only print 1-3 books. To many pages in a book. Hard to sale below 100$
Above 200 prints you can get good prices. Like 20$ for 100 page photo book.

Ok, Sorry I should have defined it properly - " Coffee-table book " - Definition : a large, expensive, lavishly illustrated book, intended especially for casual reading.

It is also a picture book or a picture diary of sorts.  based on the customers request. The idea for the website came in when he had to do large separate orders. < Proms and farewell functions for hundreds of children, each with their own unique requirements > If he can let the customers do the sorting of the photos online, it will safe a lot of time >

In answer to the other posters that gave examples of other sites, with similar services. Nope, he wants his own unique software.
