I threw this together in about an hour, at first for my own personal use but it turned out well enough I thought I would share. It is dynamically pulling the list of available headbands from the PBFashion website. The logo images could be cleaner but they work.

cool!

I noticed it sometimes is slow to load the headbands themselves, it is pulling them from the pbfashion website. I could download them and store them locally to speed it up.

cool concept

Having a text interface could be cool. That way users can make the level of custom headbands that the site itself offers. You'd have to pull the font list off though.... Might be pricy, don't know if they're freeware or not.

Yea I had thought about adding the custom text options, does HK offer those in colors too? I have not looked.

[General Cole]

They do.

[blklight]

They updated the pbfashion website with new headbands, the script auto updates with the latest stuff so they are on the list.

Pretty fantastic features.

This is pretty neat. Are you using PHP to parse their product page somehow? How well would it work if they change the layout of their product page?

Big ups on the project. Neat stuff.

PHP yes, not parsing so much as capturing output and dynamically building a page. If the HK product page updates, it will as well. It should continue to work unless they make drastic changes to the site structure.

I've done some work with pages that read the NFL score pages to generate and do stuff with score data. The way I always did it, though, was essentially "reading" through the scores page and looking for specific tags. Down side, of course, being that if those tags change, my page is useless.
