On-Line Calculators
and Work sheets

People come to your Web site in search of information. Often the need can be satisfied right away. "Yes, you do qualify." "Yes, the answer does make sense." And, "Here is a way to get there." What you are really saying is, "Yes, we are the ones to help you even further." A calculator is a great sales tool (see samples).

 

On-line calculators and work sheets can be custom designed to your application. Indeed, we are the ones to help you in this regard, and at minimal cost. (These are in addition to our basic Web page design.) Please let us know your requirements so that we may quote a price for development.

As a sales tool, a calculator might helpfully translate bodily measurements into clothing sizes ... especially important for an on-line retailer. It might convert budget and family size into the size of camping tent to buy. It can relate interests and miles one is willing to travel into a list of of tourist attractions.

What sets you apart from the other guy is to set up your on-line sales tool to operate as if you were sitting right in front of the customer, and asking questions in person. Offer guidelines where helpful. Offer limits and the reasons for them. Suggest how certain changes impact the results in certain ways. When you can do that, then your customer will think of you as "helpful" and even "important."

Useful calculators and spreadsheets can set you apart from the competition. Their pay-back in elevated customer service will easily outweigh their initial cost, and will also make your Web site a valued resource on the Internet. ...A place people will come to again, and to buy.

Mortgage Calculator

"Everybody and his brother" has a home mortgage calculator. Most, however, actually deliver little useful information. This calculator, designed for halshomes.com, helps to determine how much of a house you can afford. A useful sales tool, it enables "what-if" tests -- including real estate taxes, condo fees, varying debt levels, mortgage points, etc. Since calculations are performed entirely on your own computer (you can even do them off-line) you are assured of privacy. Not only will this help you to understand what's needed to apply for a loan, but it can also help you plan the most effective mortgage strategy for your family.

Diet Calculator

Here is a special diet calculator, taken to spreadsheet proportions. Food Exchanges were developed by the American Dietetic Association and the American Diabetes Association. The idea is to help you to keep to a diet. Employing food exchanges as a tool, this calculator quickly surveys your current usage of food calories. You set diet goals based on number of food calories allowed. Then you can mix and match foods as desired. Once that is done, the diet calculator estimates how long it might take to reach your weight loss goal. Finally, it lets you set up a meal plan to match your allowed food exchanges to achieve a balanced diet. Since calculations are performed entirely on your own computer (you can even do them off-line) you are also assured of privacy, as well as the ease of doing it at your leisure, without any perceived pressure of time spent on-line.
