How We Built a Custom Price Calculator for Hurricane Shutters Wholesale
Hurricane Shutters Wholesale is the leading supplier of custom-built hurricane storm shutters and panels. Operated from West Palm Beach, Florida, the company offers high-quality shutters at competitive prices to customers all over the world.
After experiencing difficulties with a price quotation on their BigCommerce site, Hurricane Shutters needed help with custom eCommerce development functionality as well as a fresh design to provide meaningful and relevant experiences to customers. They came to Optimum7 in 2020, and Optimum7 jumped into the challenge right away.

Optimum7 aimed beyond the made of survival in a competitive market and had two main objectives with Hurricane Shutters Wholesale – to develop a custom calculation functionality and a fresh design that highly converts.
At first, Hurricane Shutters Wholesale had an inefficient price quotation process. They were getting dimensions and options, preparing the quotes, and then sending them back to the customers. It was time-consuming and definitely caused a significant decrease in conversion rates. A very specific formula-based functionality would definitely help them with getting instant price and ordering shutters just in a minute instead of getting quotes out after days.
Asides from the crucial functional requirement, their BigCommerce site looked outdated and needed major improvements from a design standpoint. Optimum7 took over the entire template design process to deliver a storefront with a fresh and modern design.
Custom Functionality: Instant Price Calculator
BigCommerce Template Design
As a business that sells custom products like any surface and floor covering, any kind of kitchen and cabinet installation, having an instant price calculator is a crucial eCommerce functionality. Any feature basically has to be calculating a specific type of product that will cover an area. It could work with custom covers and more.
Our development team built a very specific formula-based calculation functionality that calculates the price by shutter type, opening type, construction type, dimensions, lock type, color, stack type and so.
Instant Price Calculator provides a dynamic pricing feature and updates the price as the customer changes selections. This functionality also offers conditional options and allows to show or hide the options. Hurricane Shutters Wholesale put all products and product options together in an Excel file and sent it over. Based on the Excel file, only the options for that specific product are shown on each individual product page for a correct calculation.
Our Bigcommerce custom development and design team worked closely with Hurricane Shutters Wholesale and worked together on the mockups that show off what the new design will look like. The primary focus was to design a modern website that improves the user experience on mobile devices as well as browsers.

Hurricaneshutterswholesale.com enhanced its capabilities to sustain a growing business in the shutter industry.
