For a long time we’ve battled for more transparency in pricing and costing. Always advocating our clients to share pricing where they can.
We launched Quotify in 2021, and it has seen a steady increase and adoption of users ever since, now sitting at around 500.
So it’s time to bring some new life into the software.
But before we talk about the new Quotify, let me clear up a big assumption when it comes to sharing pricing…
Price isn’t the be all and end all, but it’s important
We get it – you shouldn’t sell on price, you should sell on value. However, price does factor into it.
Take web development as an example.
Would you be willing to spend £500 on a website? How about £5,000? £50,000? Or even £500,000?
Price can vary not only due to scope & specification but also between providers.
So how do you budget for a project? Where do you start?
Most likely your gut – it will tell you if is something is too expensive or too cheap. But what’s that based on?
Next, you’ll probably do some research and there maybe some good articles on how your project could be priced. Perhaps some companies will have clear pricing or guide pricing on their website. That would be helpful; it’s just not always the case.

Why have we revamped the site?
Because it’s about time! But seriously, we were getting some quotes for a side door to be installed in our garage and had no idea how much this project would cost, therefore had no basis on how much to budget for it.
The whole process brought back the reasons why we built Quotify in the first place and rejuvenated our motivation & passion.
What’s next
We’re rebuilding the platform. It’ll be slicker and designed to be more flexible for where we want to take the app.

The technical side of things (if you’re interested)
We’re rebuilding the site with Next.js, a framework built on React. We’ve chosen Next for its flexible rendering, built-in backend routes, and a streamlined React/TypeScript developer experience – all with rock-solid deployment options making it the perfect match for our modern quote form builder platform.
