Providing Instant Price Quotes

Hi,

Well, it could be a variety of scripts / languages, depending on the
developers platform of choice. The usual choice is either PHP or ASP /
ASP.NET.
I would suggest that, if there is any kind of marketing activity going on in
the background (such as tracking quote requests for example), then such a
facility will be using a database of some sort. MySQL if they're using PHP
or MSSQL / Access if they're using ASP.

It's a pretty random question though, so I hope I'm making sense! When you
say "price quote forms" do you mean a system that allows a user to enter
information about themselves (for example an insurance quotation), and then
"it" produces a price based on their input?

I'm sure you'd get plenty of help with such a system. Dreamweaver will
handle the basics of the database integration, and form building, but you
may need to learn some programming / database language, or hire someone to
do that, for the more technical side of things. It really depends how
complex a system you are creating of course.

I hope this is useful,

Regards
Nath.
