I'm working on a furniture site and they would like to have a room planner feature on it that is much like this one here:
http://www.furniturelandsouth.com/ - http://www.furniturelandsouth.com (Click on "Room Planner")

Is this something I can download or buy somewhere? I've never researched it before, so I'm flying blind here. 

Thanks for any help!

I've seen it on several sites though.  All variations of each other, so I figured I might luck out into finding somewhere to buy it (or download it free)

I am still looking, so if you do happen upon anything please do let me know...thanks for the help thus far!

mzz steve little tip

If you don't like the deal, then don't sign up for it.  This has nothing to do with this thread, so please PM me or start a new thread in the future.

As it stands, I am a hosting reseller, making a commission off of the sites I set up.  I deal mostly with corporations and small business, so the rate works.  BTW, I haven't updated that page in a long time, we give quite a lot more now, but you would still consider it expensive.

Hosting is a competitive market and we all find our niche somewhere, for us it's about service...call it cheesy, but nobody has ever complained about our reliability or availability for assistance.  To business, getting somebody on the phone right away is worth the few extra dollars. 

Anyway, about that room planner software....

I managed to find this site, but the demo page won't load for me...

Let me know if it's the same thing I'm looking for.  At $450 I don't know if we'll still do it, but have to find out for sure.

yea , i know :p i'm to lazy to pm or start a new topic :p what would the name of the topic be , " steve your hosting is expensive " :-) i kinda get your point :p , but still....

How about "Steve, your hosting is too expensive for me, but it works for all of your clients so i will just shut my trap..."

Like I said before, most of the clients are business (some very large companies) and yes, they do.

Don't I wish!   As I said before, I am a reseller and earn only a commission.  It's not terrible money, but I'm nowhere near loaded. It's a side job and it's a nice little bit of extra each month. 

If I were to start my own hosting company, I could be bringing in more money, but the cost involved to start a proper one and the time to maintain it is more than I have.  This is a good situation for now.

The affiliate program with my particular host works like this:

The first full month's payment (could range from $24.95-$1000 for each new account)

10% of the lifetime of the customer

Considering it's a zero cost venture for me, it's a good deal. it gives me free hosting with unlimited everything, so I can't complain.

If you're doing sites and not making money from setting up hosting, then you should start something like this.  Find a good hosting company, local is good because if they're slow on payments yo can march right in and pick it up.

I think the Mob has a word for people like you!

Hey Steve,

any luck finding that room planner for your furniture client? I was looking for the same thing and finally decided to start making my own...(quite an interesting project) No need to say that I am learning a lot about Actionscripting in Flash MX...

Let me know what you found.

Thanks!
