About the service
I create cost calculators for woodworking shop websites that manufacture custom garden furniture — gazebos, benches, tables, and terrace sets. A website visitor should get an approximate price for a product in a couple of minutes without waiting for a manager's response or calling the shop for an estimate.
The basis of the calculator is choosing the product type, because the calculation logic differs for gazebos and benches: different amounts of material, different assembly labor, different fastening nodes. Next, the client specifies dimensions, chooses wood species — pine, larch, oak, thermally modified ash — and the level of moisture protection, from basic oil treatment to multi-layer coating for furniture that stands outside year-round. The price recalculates instantly with each change, so at the end of the form the visitor sees a specific figure, not an abstract range.
The calculation logic is stored in separate settings, not hardcoded: material prices, labor coefficients by product type, and processing surcharges can be changed by the shop owner themselves, without contacting the developer during seasonal price reviews.
What's included in the work:
— Step-by-step form: product type, dimensions, wood species, treatment, options
— Instant cost recalculation with breakdown by line items
— Panel for editing rates and coefficients
— Responsive layout and inquiry form at the end of the calculation
