Quick summary of what I am trying to do and the tools that I am working with: Studio 8 is the bundle that I am trying to get a website up with. The design and layout is pretty much done, however I am needing to get some measurements from the site user to generate an estimate of how much the sq footage of something will cost. For Example:

A window is 36 inches in width and 48 inches in height.
This would be 12 sq ft

I would like to know how this would be best to put on the web.

From that point the user would enter in their name, email address and phone number.

Then all of this information would be sent via email to someone.

Thanks in advance to whoever assists.

Are you trying to do price quotes online? Why not write a PHP or ASP script to do that work for you. No sense in wasting expensive human labor when an inexpensive and quicker machine can do the same calculations :)

Here's the basic flow chart of what I want to do:

user enters name, email, number-->
user enters the number of windows in their home-->
user enters the measurements in inches the width and height of the aforementioned windows -->
Totals are given for each of the windows in sq ft-->
user will submit this information and an estimate will be given and emailed to them and us

If this was in excel, I could do this all but I know that there is a lot more to this than a spreadsheet. I also there this a lot more talent it this than I currently have. Thanks for the previous reply.
