Picture Frame Pricing Programs

This blog is about developing the "Wessex Pricing Programs", with in-depth consideration of why features work as they do, as well as the history & future development. Mostly the blog will be about "Wessex Professional" (WPP4) the most sophisticated of the four programs. I am by profession a bespoke picture framer (for the last 30 + years). But I have been interested in programming since Sinclair Spectrum days and have become a passable programmer in Visual Basic.

A frame pricing app for Android devices

If you went to the Wessex stand at the Spring Fair on Sunday or Monday you would have seen what I think is a world first - the first Android Picture Frame Pricing App. ever!

I was amazed by the enthusiastic reception, it certainly seemed to fulfil a need to be able to price frames on the move. From market stalls to home visits, people kept coming up with new scenarios to use it in.

The App. was so new that there were still some finishing touches to do to it. These have now been completed and it will be available to download from the Wessex website very shortly.

I'm also working on integrating the App. more closely with Wessex Professional, so the prices issued are the same.

Watch out for WPP4 (ver 4.2.5).
