I will have someone update the wizard.

We could do a builder but of the 3 we have for our other services it is never used.

Cool… but the information doesn’t seem connected to the current offerings in the database. I went through it and got this offered to me:

Starter Unix [shortened]

I was thinking more like Anitec’s PC Builder, only with more intelligence. I think their’s is pretty good for someone who knows what they want. The really smart systems can limit the choices to only the parts compatible with all that is selected already.

http://bluefur.com/wizard/index.php Not exactly AJAXish, nor the best Plan Choosing Wizard, but, it's still exists. :P

I don’t like MidPhase’s page (linked in the blog post) because it’s too cluttered with words. While the Bluefur page is overwhelming, I was sold pretty much on the features offerings. Of course, I had seen admins posting in another community forum and I wanted to support local business, so I was already sold on the company.

Should you wish to change the sale pages, might I suggest offering different versions? Some folks want the big plans/features list. I would have been happy with a comparison chart. Others would use an AJAX-y plan selector — come to think of it, that would be cool. Just ask a few questions and have the system suggest a plan and say, let’s sign up today and get a free t-shirt! ;-)

Ah well, back to work.

And these “Unmetered x and x guarantee” common to all plans may be the benefits you crave on your landing page.

I have to agree with Matt on this. Visiting your Unix package page, there seem to be too many details and yes, the difference between USD and CAD is huge. On the basic package, you’re doing a 40% exchange rate!

Your Unix Hosting page is a bit overwhelming, actually. In the “Package Features”, all it seems you’re doing is listing the software that Fantastico can automatically install. You need to focus on the “core features”. Dividing them up into different categories won’t hurt either. Sure, you have most of the core features in there now, but they’re buried in all the software listings. You should put what Fantastico can automatically install on a separate page, and then link to it.

Also, you don’t need to put the same thing in every “plan bubble”. Put another bubble in like “All Plans Have”, and then put the stuff that’s common with every plan (Unmetered x and x guarantee) in there.

Oh, and not to mention, your CAD vs USD prices are horribly wrong. If I had paid in USD, I’d actually save money…
