Sorry to keep posting all these website questions, as you can probably guess, im building a site right now, i just wondered if anyone could be so kind as to help me put one of those online quote calculators on my site that a few of you have on your sites,

Thanks

Sean

The main problem with online quote calculators is that some people will see you price and if they think your a little pricey for them they wont call you its better imo to see them in person and to win them over with your charms
the other problem is that your local competition will know your price too and possibly quote less

I have many reasons why I would not put an online quote page on any site I do.
Some that have already been mentioned

Yeh, i thought at first it wouldnt be too bad as i had a tinker with some on other sites, and the prices were ok, yet it doesnt take into account access etc, or whether its in the middle of nowhere etc, so im just gonna get the phone calls and emails from site and quote then i dont think people expect to get a price of website, i think putting them on there will only put off, whereas having nothing, they have to phone me :)
