Quote calculators for marketplaces.
Most visitors arrive with one question: what will this cost? A quote calculator answers it on the spot, with a range built from your own pricing rules, and turns the answers into an inquiry your team can act on without a back-and-forth about basics. We design the questions, model the pricing, and build the tool, working remotely from our Providence, RI studio for businesses across North America. A marketplace is less a website than an economy with a storefront on top. Sellers need onboarding, listings, payouts, and a dashboard worth opening; buyers need search that works, a cart that handles several vendors in one payment, and enough visible trust to pay a stranger. The build serves both sides, and neither should feel the weight of the other. For marketplaces, calculators serve both sides: a seller earnings estimator shows what a listing nets after platform fees and payment processing, and a buyer-side estimator prices a service from scope and location. Both feed into onboarding or a request for proposals.

Why marketplaces reach for this.
Sellers who list once and never come back
A clunky onboarding form and a dashboard that buries orders leave vendors with half-finished shops, and thin inventory is the first thing a buyer notices.
Checkout that splinters across vendors
When items from three sellers turn into three separate payments, three shipping estimates, and three confirmation emails, the cart is abandoned before the last one loads.
Trust that has to be earned twice
A buyer is trusting the platform and a stranger at the same time, and without visible seller profiles, reviews, and a plain-language dispute policy, neither side feels safe enough to transact.
