Hello John.
I'm virtually at the point of starting to begin trading.
I'm sure you've seen me on here since I first joined, knowing nothing about framing.
Well I've received a massive amount of help and encouragement since then, from everyone I have been fortunate to be in contact with on the various Forums.
I can't say that I am yet anything like an expert. but I am sufficiently confident now to believe that I can realistically trade, within the confines of my business plan. I have worked out my overheads and I have a pricing strategy. I have a business plan to take to the bank.
But, I would benefit from the use of a pricing programme. Estlite seems the obvious choice. Given the website
It would be churlish to look elsewhere.
BBEst may be suitable starting point for me. And I would like to download your trial version - to become acquainted with it.
Q1 Given that I am not yet trading, is that acceptable/permissible?
Q2 In terms of the future, is it possible to upgrade from BBEst to Estlite?
TIA
Jack

Re: Downloads and Upgrades
Short answer, Jack: Yes and yes.
Download the software, it is fully functional for 45 consecutive days from first install.
Although I may be a tad biased regarding what is the best software for picture framers, I do recommend that you examine all of the options available and make up your own mind about which you find most suitable.
You are doing the right thing by having a professional pricing system in place from the start, whatever you choose will help you to trade profitably from the off, and will probably pay for itself a few times over within the first year.
Don't worry, regardless of your final choice, you will continue to be a valued member of the forum.
