- Mobile friendly. The mobile-friendly design is an important criterion for a modern site. The amount of mobile traffic equaled the desktop years before. Mobile browsing now accounts for 56% of web traffic. The lack of adaptive design can worsen behavioral factors. Consequently, this can lead to a decrease in the position in the SERP. Therefore, the plugin must be adaptive.
- Additional fields. In the mortgage calculator, there are various additional payments such as PMI, taxes, extra payments and other. These fields may be required by some users, so you should be able to add/remove additional fields. Therefore, more flexibility and personalization options should be available.
- Configure loan type. The ability to change the payment schedule. Whether it is a monthly or biweekly kind of schedule.
- Amortization schedule. User should be able to view or download detailed information on mortgage payments.
- Configure the appearance of the widget.
- Localization. Mortgage calculators are used throughout the world and will be convenient if the developer has provided in the plugin localization for your language.
