Virtual Keyboard

    Background: I run a webstore on a BigCommerce platform. I have a type of product with an option for custom embroidery in English or Hebrew.

    Problems: 1) I need a simple virtual keyboard for customers who don't have a Hebrew-enabled keyboard on their device. 2) I need to have the product price go up $1 for every letter entered.

    I'm not technically inclined, by any stretch of the imagination, so I probably won't be able to tackle this myself (and might not even understand your reply if you use jargon).

    If you send a reply, it would even be helpful for me to know what kind of web developer I should be looking for. Also, if you happen to know how much I should pay to outsource this type of work, I'd be glad to know.

    Just to clarify, you need a programmer who can put a virtual keyboard on your website that can input Hebrew or English. Then, for each word, it will automatically add $1 to the total price?

    Yes, that's what I meant.

    For the virtual keyboard, you can find PHP, JavaScript or C++ (if your site runs in Linux)--Visual C++ programmers (if it runs in Windows). The english keyboard portion is pretty easy...you can actually find open-source codes for those. The challenge is making the Hebrew version of it...so i guess you might need a programmer who knows Hebrew too... The cost for this kind of guy is probably around $100

    I'm assuming that you already have a billing system. If you don't, then you're going to have to do that first to be able to add the +$1 for each letter feature.
    Assuming you already do, the plausibility for adding $1 each letter depends on the billing system you have. If it's custom-made, ask your developer what language it was built with. If you bought the billing system, ask them if you can do what you're planning.
