<html>

<body>

<div class="calculator">

<h3>Get an instant price for your website</h3>

<p>What type of website do you need?</p>

<label><input type="checkbox" id="simpleServices"> Simple Services </label><br>

<label><input type="checkbox" id="portfolio"> Portfolio </label><br>

<label><input type="checkbox" id="eCommerce"> E-Commerce (up to 50 products) </label><br>

<label><input type="checkbox" id="onlineCourse"> Online Course </label><br>

<label><input type="checkbox" id="blog"> Blog </label><br>

<p> How many pages do you need?</p>

<label><input type="radio" name="pages" id="1-5"> 1-5 pages</label><br>

<label><input type="radio" name="pages" id="5-10"> 5-10 pages</label><br>

<label><input type="radio" name="pages" id="10-20"> 10-20 pages</label><br>

<label><input type="radio" name="pages" id="20+"> 20+ pages</label><br>

<p>Do you want to add website copy (Up to 10 pages)?</p>

<label><input type="radio" name="copy" id="yes"> Yes Please </label><br>

<label><input type="radio" name="copy" id="no"> No Thanks </label><br>

<div class="total-price-container">

<p>Guide Price: £<span id="totalPrice">0</span></p>

</div>

<div class="calculate-button"> <!-- Added div here -->

<button onclick="calculatePrice()">Calculate Price</button>

</div>

</div>

<script>

function calculatePrice() {

var total = 0;

if (document.getElementById("simpleServices").checked) total += 1500;

if (document.getElementById("portfolio").checked) total += 1800;

if (document.getElementById("eCommerce").checked) total += 2500;

if (document.getElementById("onlineCourse").checked) total += 2600;

if (document.getElementById("blog").checked) total += 1500;

if (document.getElementById("1-5").checked) total += 200;

if (document.getElementById("5-10").checked) total += 500;

if (document.getElementById("10-20").checked) total += 800;

if (document.getElementById("20+").checked) total += 1000;

if (document.getElementById("yes").checked) total += 500;

document.getElementById("totalPrice").textContent = total;

}

</script>

</body>

</html>


Adjusting the code

Titles of each section are shown in bold using the <p> heading. You can change this to H1,2,3 etc if you prefer.

Make sure the Id (in bold) and the label wording matches for each.

Below calculate price (in bold) Make sure each “label” matches the labels from the code above where you have made your own changes.


Step 2: Add the CSS code

Copy and paste the below CSS code in your custom CSS panel. Go to Pages>website tools>custom CSS.

Adjust the CSS code below according to your specific styles and branding. Highlighted in bold are areas that you can easily adjust.


*price generator*/

.calculator {

background-color: #f4f2eb;

padding: 50px;

border: 0px solid #000;

border-radius: 10px;

font-weight: 500;

}

/* Style the Calculate Price button */

.calculate-button {

text-align: left;

}

.calculate-button button {

background-color: #A83D3C; /* Red background color */

color: #FFFFFF; /* White text color */

border: none;

padding: 10px 20px;

border-radius: 10px;

margin-top: 30px !important;

cursor: pointer;
