Custom Product Builder PLEASE HELP

I have more options then  the variants will allow, which has made me have to have endless text boxes for people to fill out their options, but the reality is people cant focus or get confused. I would like to hold their attention and give them a visual aid. Can weebly support  this? Can I make a custom product builder where people can select their colors and options by buttons and then see a a preview of it? such as found in the link below.

If you have a lot of options the simplest solution is to break it into multiple products. What options do you currently have for the product, @Herseyhailstorm? I can provide examples of ways to split it up so you don't go over the 120 SKU generation limit.

I alreadly have done that still i cant break it down more based on my options. I just want scroll down menus so people dont have to type it in, thus avoiding issues such as spelling errors or wrong options entered into the boxes. this is costing business big time. Even my customers are asking me why its like this, and who built my site. I just want to know if i made a custom product builder use java script can weebly handle that?

I don't think any amount of JS coding would make it work with our store features, since it wouldn't change how things are set up in our database. What product options are you trying to set up? If I understood what the variations of your products are I might be able to think of a way to make it work.

So for my product it is based on widths of 1 inch 1 ½ 2 inch 3 inch, then lengths of each of those from 12" to 26" inches I have each width as a different product, but each length must be an option with it. 

Then for each of those items I have 20 colors for one part of it. And then 11 color options for another part of it. then 11 stitch color options, then 18 font styles then 12 font colors.

Then extra items which i have now placed as an add on item located elsewhere

so right now i have a lot of texts boxes, If we where allowed to put a photo  beside or above each text box this would help so much. but right now we cant so people seem to loose focus or enter in wrong options in  text boxes

I see what you mean, @Herseyhailstorm. All of those together would create thousands and thousands of different variations (and SKUs).

What if you kept one product with text options as a "build your own" option, then created products with the color options pre-defined with complimentary colors?

Hi,

I highly recommend ConvertCalculator to create a Product Configurator form for a website. It is a really friendly and easy usage tool. Also, you can start for free and it is embeddable on any website. I am now using it and this lets my business grows.
