Overview

The challenge

Users should be able to:

• View the optimal layout for the app depending on their device's screen size
• See hover states for all interactive elements on the page
• Use the slider and toggle to see prices for different page view numbers

Page view and pricing totals

Here are the different page view ranges and the corresponding monthly price totals:

• 10K pageviews / $8 per month
• 50K pageviews / $12 per month
• 100K pageviews / $16 per month
• 500k pageviews / $24 per month
• 1M pageviews / $36 per month

If the visitor switches the toggle to yearly billing, a 25% discount should be applied to all prices.

What I learned

I learnt how to make a custom range slider (I don't think I've EVER used one in my life anyway), which was fun. I then had to think about the javascript side as it's quite heavy on calculations (hardest one yet I mean from the challenges), so I had to think how I would store the pricing data, and then manipulate it to apply the 25% discount etc...

I split up main functionalities into functions so they could be called whenever, making them reusable.

This was a really fun challenge, as I've never made a pricing calculator like this before!
