Please look at http://cpanelthemes.com/ for a website creator tool which perfectly integrates with CPanel. I need your opinion:

- what features to add
- what should this cost

Please notice that this is the very first international version and you might occasionally read german text.

Thanks in advance!

However, the pricing is prohibitive. There are other proven products that are more affordable.

As to what it should cost....here is a stab at it (and this pricing assumes much more work and a wide assortment of templates).

Well, lets see....Site Studio is the leading product in this realm and it is $1.50 per site.

I would not imagine more than 25 or so on an average server using it. Now, one could load up a server with newbies and increase the number dramatically. On the other hand, one could have some servers where virtually no one chose to use it.

Therefore, I believe the licensing strategy of site studio is preferable (pay by user) if you can administer it. Otherwise, taking a shot at pricing, I come up with 25 x $1.50 for a price per server or $37.50. I think you might go as high as $75.00 or so, but $500 for a server just doesn't fit for most hosts.

I, personally, would recommend making it an add-in to fantastico so that you could perhaps increase its sales and make more money. Let's say fantastico with quick-o-mat for $75.

It would be nice to have a feature where we can add our own custom design along with your standard design.

this looks really good. however, like incognito said, it is WAY out of my price range. please keep us posted once a firm pricing schedule is chosen. keep up the good work!

You mean templates for the end user to choose from for the website? This is very easy to do.

As Incognito has said, it's too expensive on a per server basis. Some companies don't have that many customers on one server, so they'll have to end up purchasing more licenses, which will be still costly, even with your discount rates applied. I would suggest to charge around $100 for it, but you have to make sure it has a feature for the owners to change the interface, so it ties in with their own CPanel theme, or their website.

Nice script though :).

As you would expect from a product listed at cpanelthemes.com, it uses header/footer, CSS and a language file. There is not much more one could do to make modifications easy.

I mean, if we can add our custom templates that we design onto your existing templates collection would be nice. Then the user can have more selection to choose from. We can either group or buy the templates from other designer's or create our own. But of course this custom template must base on your program's specification.
