Project description
I run a small emergency locksmith service and want to add an interactive cost calculator to the website so visitors get an instant estimate before they even pick up the phone. Right now every person has to call and describe their situation, which wastes time and quietly pushes away people who just want a rough number before deciding whether to book someone.
The calculator needs to let a visitor choose the lock type — standard cylinder, multi-point mechanism, electronic lock, safe, or car door — then pick the work required: opening a jammed or locked door, replacing a worn cylinder, or fitting a brand new lock. There should also be an urgency toggle, since a callout at two in the morning costs more than a scheduled visit. The total should recalculate live, with a short breakdown of parts, labor and callout fee.
I would like clean, commented front-end code my designer can style afterward, plus a simple way to edit base prices and urgency multipliers later without calling a developer each time rates change. Mobile behavior matters, since most visitors search for this from a phone during an actual lockout.
What I need from the freelancer:
— working calculator logic as described
— an easy place to update prices and multipliers
— a layout that holds up on small screens
— a short note on the code structure
