About this plugin
MethodGrid Maler-Kostenrechner is a focused estimate calculator for German painting businesses that want a simple alternative to a generic form or calculator builder.
Site operators enter their own rates, add a note explaining the price basis, choose an accent color, configure a contact link, and place the calculator with the shortcode [malerpreis_rechner].
Visitors can enter wall and ceiling area, select the condition of the surfaces, add wallpaper removal and door painting, and receive a non-binding price range.
Key characteristics:
- Preconfigured workflow for standard interior painting estimates.
- The business enters its own pricing parameters; bundled numbers are demo values only.
- Demo values are blocked from public display until the operator explicitly confirms the settings.
- Optional room-dimension helper for estimating wall and ceiling area.
- Configurable minimum order value, estimate range and rounding.
- Configurable contact button and accent color.
- Calculation runs locally in the visitor’s browser.
- No lead form, tracking, cookies, external APIs, external fonts or visitor-data storage in version 1.0.0.
MethodGrid Maler-Kostenrechner is currently designed for German-language painting businesses and uses EUR for estimates.
The result is an estimate, not a binding quotation. The site operator is responsible for entering appropriate business-specific prices and wording.
Privacy
