Getting started

Set up your first estimator

  1. Create your account. Sign up with your email or Google, and confirm your email address.
  2. Tell us about your business. Your business name and trade. We use your trade to suggest a template.
  3. Pick a starting point. Choose your trade’s template, or start from a blank estimator. Templates come with the questions customers need answering and starting prices.
  4. Check the prices. The starting prices are only placeholders. Go through each question and change the prices to what you charge, then tick I’ve checked these prices.
  5. Publish. Publishing makes the estimator live. You can keep editing afterwards: changes are saved as you go and go live when you publish again.
  6. Add it to your website. See Add the estimator to your website.

Rather we did it?

Choose Send us your prices after you sign up, and send your price list however you have it: typed in, a photo or a PDF. We build your estimator for you, free, and message you to check it before it goes live. See Get help from a person.

Good to know

Your estimator shows a range, not an exact price, and tells customers it’s an estimate. You confirm the final price once you’ve seen the job.
