Isn't that moving a bit away from DIY to self build? Interesting idea
but would be better on the companies website so you can sit at home
and use it.

Remember one of the biggst obstacles to the general public doing
projects, and thus buying stock, is not knowing how to do it.

That's probably covered better by a leaflet you can take away, read
and easyly refer to as the project is planned and shopping lists
drawn up etc. Screen based stuff is just about OK for reading but
refering back forward between pages is PITA ona screen.
