Creating a rate card is a real challenge when you know nothing about CSS or other html codes. And yet, adding a price table to your sales page can radically convert your visiteurs and increase your sales.
A price table gives your potential customers the opportunity to compare and visualize your different offers. These pricing tables are a great way to showcase your products and services while providing more options to your potential customers.
There are many WordPress plugins which allow you to add price grids. But we are going to recommend you a really special one.
Easy Pricing Tables is a new Plugin free which aims to simplify the use of price tables.
The default interface has with colors which can be set via a Color picker (color recovery feature) friendly on the dashboard.
The rate card is responsive and offers animations to fly over the columns. You can access the demonstration by clicking on this site.
Easy Pricing Tables offers a configuration table on which you can easily customize the appearance of the table as well as each column. You have the possibility to define title, price, features, button text, URL, color, column order, etc..
How to create a price chart on your site?
Once the Plugin will be installed, you will notice a new menu that will be available on the left (Pricing Table). When you hover over the menu, you will see two new links appear. Click on the link « Add Pricing Table ».
You will arrive on a new page, where you will be able to define:
- the name (Add Name), La Description (Add Some Description).
- background colors (background Color).

Once you have saved all the necessary information, you can click on the button " Save Table » (Save the table).

To add columns to a table, click the table that you previously created. On the previous example, we will click on the line « A demo board ». You will arrive on a new page. On this page click on " Add New Pricing Column To add a new column.
On this new page you can:
- add the title of the column (Add Official Qualification), add a price (Add Price Rate).
- the fonctionnaltiés (Add Features, click on the plus "+" button for more feature fields).
- define how the price will be paid: per week (Per Week), Par month (Per Month) et Par an (Per Year).
- the text of the primary buy button.
- the link to the purchase page.
- The color of the column.
- the priority of the column (1, 2, 3, 4 etc... Depending on your available columns).
Once you click on « Save Details », You can click on the link « Back To list » To go back and see all available columns.
You can repeat the process to create the other columns. When you have finished modifying the price column, click on the button " Pricing Table On the left side menu.
And you will see the chart you created and its shortcode. Copy this shortcodethen create a new page where you will add it.
After posting the page or article with the shortcode correspondatyou will see a page identical to this one (Theme Twenty Fourteen)
This is an example.
What we liked:
- Ease in managing columns and tables
- Le colorpicker, which allows you to add a custom color to the table
- The ability to add a personalized link to another page.
What we did not like:
- Bugs on the administration interface. Sometimes, you will not see any text when you want to create a table or column
- A button is missing in the visual editor, which will simplify the integration of tables
- Bug with apostrophic escapement (see previous image).
If not :
Ce Plugin is very convincing, we hope it helps you. With a lot of practice, you will be able to produce tables of this magnitude.

Hello Bruno,
Indeed, I was slightly disappointed by these bugs, however I was able to correct this bug at because, I am a developer, but I could not offer another version of the plugin without the author's permission.

I look forward to reading from you.

Hello Herve
The aesthetic rendering looks pretty good, especially for a free plugin, too bad it has some bugs.
It is also a pity that he is not prepared for the translations.
If I may, a typo has slipped into your last sentence published just before "What we liked": "correspondat" instead of "correspondent".
Sincerely,
Bruno
