WebbegetTM Service Pricing Structure
What is a form? A Web page form is the same as the classic definition of a form where data is requested, filled-out and then submitted. On the Internet, these form submissions are most typically accepted by a database which holds the information. Users of this form can also edit this information by resubmitting the pre-populated form back to the database for updates. These Web forms consist of various inputs called "form elements". Some of these "form elements" come grouped and therefore could be called a "form widget". An example of a typical form element is a Radio Button set or a drop-down Select Box. The form elements and widgets can be built to serve as input and output for the Web pages. Additionally, other customizations can be built such as auto-responders (automatically generated E-mails), dynamic form elements (upon change of one element this then affects other inputs or layouts), coding logic (example: calculator functionalities within the form itself), exporting data to Excel, integration with the visual design and many many other functionalities all based on the client's needs.

The pricing of a Web application is directly linked to the number of forms in your application plus additional logic. Each form has a number of elements and widgets associated with it and this number corresponds to the WebbegetTM pricing charts found below:

Pricing Structure

1 to 10 elements$35 per simple element
11 to 20 elements$25 per simple element
21 to 30 elements$20 per simple element
31+ elements$15 per simple element

Example scenarios:
Number of ElementsAmount
1$35
5$175
10$350
15$375
20$500
25$500
30$600
35$525
40$600
45$1125
50$750
60$1320
70$1050
80$1200
  For example, you might want a form with 10 simple elements and an auto-responder built in. The estimate would be $350 plus the additional cost of a customized auto-reponder. The price of the auto-responder would be based on the level of functionality that it provides.



Another customization to a form code base could be the formulation of a vCard built by data submitted in a personal contact form. The vCard would be automatically sent to your computer via an auto-responder and then with a click of the mouse the vCard is imported into your Address Book.

Export data to Excel via .CSV
A very common functionality is the ability to export the gathered data periodically. This functionality comes in the form of a link which may or may not be password-protected depending on your preference, which, once clicked, prompts the Administrator to Save the CSV file to his/her harddrive. This file can then be opened in Microsoft Excel directly or it can also be opened with a text editor after renaming the file to a .txt extension.


Web Applications
In essence, a Web Application is comprised of a number of these forms with Add, Edit and Delete capability mixed in with some application logic and associations made across tables in a database. For this reason, it is possible to get a preliminary, first round estimate on the generic base-line structure of an application. This example depicts such a scenario. Contact me for a full-coverage estimate on your Web Application needs.


Widgets
Some multi-element widgets have a higher premium over and above the "simple" element prices listed and will usually bill-out at one and a half times the typical element price for that element. The list of elements and widgets is extensive and frequently used widgets such as the Dojo Date Drop-down Picker fall into the "simple" element price structure. The Dojo Date Drop-down Picker is a mini-calendar that drops down and allows one to choose a year, a month and the day.
