So we rebuilt Solidres&#8217; most important pricing tool \u2014 the Complex Tariff editor \u2014 completely from scratch.

A clean, modern rebuild could.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4>Why the new Rate Plan editor is better<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table><thead><tr><th scope=\"col\">&nbsp;<\/th><th scope=\"col\">Old Complex Tariff<\/th><th scope=\"col\">New Rate Plan<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><th scope=\"row\">Technology<\/th><td>AngularJS (end-of-life)<\/td><td>Modern, framework-free JavaScript<\/td><\/tr><tr><th scope=\"row\">Layout<\/th><td>Cramped fixed-height iframe<\/td><td>Full-width \u2014 grows with your screen<\/td><\/tr><tr><th scope=\"row\">Security<\/th><td>No more updates<\/td><td>Actively maintained &amp; future-proof<\/td><\/tr><tr><th scope=\"row\">Dark mode<\/th><td>None<\/td><td>Built in<\/td><\/tr><tr><th scope=\"row\">Accessibility<\/th><td>Limited<\/td><td>WCAG 2.1 AA \u2014 keyboard, labels, contrast<\/td><\/tr><tr><th scope=\"row\">Performance<\/th><td>~3&nbsp;MB of framework<\/td><td>Lightweight &amp; snappy<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Everything you rely on is still here \u2014 all five rate types and four pricing modes, conditions, Quick Tools, cloning, import\/export \u2014 just quicker to use and easier on the eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>No rush \u2014 both editors run side by side.<\/strong> The new Rate Plan plugin installs <em>alongside<\/em> the old one, both working on the very same data.
