1) Why do you have two different versions of Sign Estimator?

Australia currently has a convoluted tax system that is markedly different from others around the world.  This is changing as of 1 July 2000, and around that time we may merge the two programs into one.  In the mean time the Australian one is for Australia, and the International version is for the rest of the world. All currencies are handled, but only in the English language at this stage.

2) When is an update to Sign Estimator being released?

The current version of Sign Estimator is scheduled to continue into the year 2000.  At some time during that year a new version will be released containing numerous new features, including many suggestions made by some of the hundreds of happy Sign Estimator users worldwide. Languages other than English are planned, with initial roll-outs planned for late 2000.  If you have any ideas you want included in future releases, then please let us know.  See FAQ 4 for more information.

3) What made you create this program?

We have been suppliers to the sign industry since 1991 and initially started writing Sign Estimator after having many queries from customers who could find nothing available for the Australian market.  After release in Australia in 1995 we discovered that similar programs in the US were being sold for extremely high prices and went about modifying the program for the US and Canada and releasing it to that market.  The availability of Internet marketing allows us to market it to the world, at substantially lower prices.

4) I have a great idea for a new feature in Sign Estimator.  Where do I send it?

We love ideas from users, or potential users, for features to be added.  All we need is a description of the feature, how you would like to see it work and why you think it is needed.  With changes to the program, the same sort of information is needed.  What you would like changed, how you would like it changed and why.  To get the information to us, either email us at wishlist@signestimator.com or fax us on +61-7-3865-2579.  Please note that we will include features as we see fit.  Sending an idea does not guarantee that it will be incorporated in the program, but we will evaluate all suggestions and be responsive to demand.

5) What do I get when I buy Sign Estimator?

When you purchase Sign Estimator you will receive a CD-ROM containing the latest version of Sign Estimator and the current manual in PDF format for you to print out, using any Windows-supported printer.  We issue the manual in electronic format to help reduce packaging and shipping costs allowing us to provide Sign Estimator at a low  price. 

You also receive unlimited email technical support and a unique username and password which allow you access to our restricted support area of the website containing additional tools, tips and tricks and more.

6) How much does Sign Estimator cost?

Sign Estimator is sold for $295.00 Australian. Sales in Australia are freight free, while sales outside Australia attract a $15.00 Australian shipping fee. For international orders this equates to around $171.10 US for the program and $8.70 US shipping fee (based on an exchange rate of US$1.00 = A$0.58). You can place an order online from our online order page.
