I'm looking to add a form/quote generator to my site. I do vinyl wall quotes and I would like my customers to be able to design their own wall quote and purchase. Here is an example:

That's just one style that I like.

Does anyone have any advice on where I could go to purchase this for my site, or how much it would cost to have someone build this, or third where I start on hiring someone. My site is just a basic GoDaddy site that is simple and easy to modify for what I am selling.

Any advice would be appreciated!

Thank you,
KG

For : two practical paths exist — buy an embeddable/configurator service, or commission a custom build. is right that a developer who has built a quote app can give a realistic cost once you define exactly what the generator must do. Below are concrete things to include in your brief and what to expect when you get quotes.

Specify production outputs first. Vinyl cutters need vector cut paths, so require export to SVG (or EPS/PDF/DXF where necessary) with all text converted to outlines. Limit color choices to your actual vinyl palette, enforce physical size constraints, and provide an accurate scale preview (inches or cm). Include save/share for user designs, an admin area to download cut files, and validation to prevent oversized or unprintable layouts.

Define pricing rules and workflow up front. Typical variables are base price, area or linear measurement, per-character or per-shape fees, extra for multiple colors or complex paths, plus shipping and installation kit options. Also decide whether the generator plugs into an existing cart (WooCommerce/Shopify) or has a custom checkout. Ask any developer for a demo showing exported SVGs that you can open in your cutter software.

Rough cost and hiring guidance (estimates): simple embeddable plugins or SaaS tools often cost tens to low hundreds of dollars per month; a basic custom HTML5/SVG generator can be a few thousand dollars and a few weeks of work; a production-ready system with accounts, order management and file-generation usually ranges higher and takes longer. When hiring, require portfolio examples of cut-ready exports, a staging site, clear acceptance criteria (tested files), ownership of source files, and a short warranty period.

Jonny,

Hello. I would be interested in finding out your prices and if you have had the chance to look at the link I posted. There are five or six different sites that have this "type" of generator. You can contact me by email: <snip> or here. Thank you.

Hi KG,

I'm not aware of anything out there to do for vinyl wall quotes but I've built a quote application for another client for a similar purpose. Once all the options are decided on that would affect the price/quote generator you could get a cost to build this which could easily be setup on your godaddy hosting account.
