I was approached to build a web application to help tradesmen simplify the quoting process for potential clients. Tradesmen often spend a significant amount of time visiting leads, only to find that the jobs are too small or the clients' budgets are inadequate. What if there was a way for tradesmen to provide quotes remotely and filter potential clients based on the job size and budget?
