Development of calculators for the site

A website calculator is a separate software module that allows site visitors to independently calculate the cost of goods and services. This greatly simplifies the process of interacting with the resource, helps to save time and relieve the company’s managers.

Using the calculator, the user can independently choose the best option and set certain parameters using the sliders. In addition, the module makes the work of the company transparent, since the client immediately sees how the price of the product or service he is interested in is formed.

Online payments are featured on many platforms – from online stores to credit services. With their help, a potential client can quickly navigate the cost of a product / service and instantly make a purchase (if all conditions suit him). This greatly simplifies and facilitates communication between the seller and the buyer.

A simple calculator has the following structure:

• drop-down list;
• sliders;
• fields or buttons of the bundle of materials / services;
• switches and checkboxes;
• currency rate (if necessary).
• options for sending the result.

After integrating the tool into the structure of the site, it allows you to effectively collect statistics on the behavior of buyers on the site.

For example, with the help of the function of saving the calculations made, you can understand which products aroused the most interest among visitors, what filters and parameters they used in calculating the cost, etc. This information will become the basis for analysis and further optimization of the site.

Using the calculator on the website has many other advantages:

• Building trust in the site. Visitors are more sympathetic to a web resource that does not hide the nuances of work and invites users to independently determine the cost of a product or service.
• Free access to pricing. Since the client himself can trace the relationship between the cost of the goods and certain parameters, he will not ask these questions to the manager. The latter, in turn, will not have to convince users of the adequacy of the prices.
• Saving users’ time. The visitor gets more freedom and does not need to wait for a response or a call from the manager to figure out the cost of the product. Instead, he can use the calculator posted on the site and within a couple of minutes calculate the price of all options that interest him.

The calculator improves website traffic, increases interest in the product and increases sales, as well as helps to establish fruitful cooperation. This tool is often used by construction companies, repair, banking and clearing organizations, trucking and custom furniture manufacturing.

The functionality of the modules is used on most commercial sites to calculate the cost of services and goods: plastic windows, building materials, cleaning, etc.

Special mortgage and credit online calculators are being developed for the websites of insurance companies and banking portals.

In some cases, such widgets are also placed on information portals, for example, so that users can choose foods for a diet or calculate the cost of travel. On the websites of beauty projects and beauty salons, calculators for calculating calories and body mass index are very popular.

The AVADA MEDIA team develops convenient calculators for any web site. The tool helps not only to form a positive impression of the site, but also to effectively filter inappropriate messages, as well as weed out visitors who are not satisfied with the price of goods or services, since they will immediately see the final cost of the product. Company managers can also use the module for quick consulting.

The design and implementation of the calculator takes place in several stages:

• Discussion of the project with the client. Our specialists will analyze the data that are involved in the calculation and group all the variables (for the correct definition of tasks and preparation of the technical specification).
• Drawing up a detailed technical assignment. One of the most important stages that determines the scope of the upcoming work. In order for the calculator to function correctly, developers must clearly understand which formulas should be used in the calculation.

• Prototyping and drawing design. In the prototype, we highlight the key elements of the calculator and then render them for better understanding.
• Testing and computing automation.
• Integration of the calculator into the customer’s website.

In our work we use JQuery, JS, HTML5, CSS3 and other tools. In order for the module to become a natural part of the web resource, organically fit into its design and structure, the calculator is developed individually for each site.

Our experts will analyze all the fundamental factors and calculate what the tool should be in order to become the most effective for the development of your business.
