# Finish Configurator > A made-to-order product section: choose a wood and a seat, see the matched photograph of that exact finish, and read the price, lead time and next step.

Pick a wood or a seat and the matched photograph of that exact combination opens out from the swatch you touched, while the price and the lead time count to their new values on the same beat. The worked example is a fictional workshop's dining chair in three woods and three seat covers, with nine photographs taken from one camera position so only the finish changes. Beside the price, a close detail of the back-rail joint follows the chosen wood, and below, a workshop photograph and a short 'after you order' sequence explain what the visitor is paying for and when the chair arrives. Options, prices, lead times and photos are ordinary markup, so the same section serves a table, a lamp or a sofa by editing HTML. ## Features - Matched photograph per combination, revealed from the chosen swatch's position - Price and lead time count to their new values in step with the photograph - A matched construction detail beside the price follows the chosen wood with a quiet crossfade - Rapid choices retarget the one running reveal and settle on the last pick; choosing the shown finish again retracts it - Options, prices, lead times and photographs defined in semantic markup, not a script array - Live summary caption, estimated delivery week and order links that carry the chosen finish - Optional shareable URL state that restores a chosen combination - Native radio controls with keyboard, touch and screen-reader announcements - Instant swaps under reduced motion and without GSAP; independent instances with teardown ## Use Cases - Furniture makers selling a signature piece in several woods and fabrics - Homeware and lighting products with finish and shade options - Made-to-order goods where lead time depends on the materials chosen - Small-batch product pages that need a configurator without a 3D model ## Vibe-Code Ready Setup This website section includes `START-HERE-AI.md`, a product-specific copy-paste setup prompt for Cursor, Claude Code, ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot, Windsurf, and other coding assistants. It tells the assistant to inspect the existing stack, integrate the supplied files, preserve the design, scope selectors, retain accessibility and responsive behaviour, add framework-appropriate GSAP cleanup, and report what it tested. [How AI-assisted setup works](https://gsapvault.com/vibe-coding) ## How It Works Each finish is a native radio button carrying its added price and lead time. Each combination has its own photograph in the markup, keyed by the chosen values. On a change, the section totals the choices, updates the caption and order links, and reveals the matching photograph inside a circle that grows from the swatch. Price and weeks tween over the same duration. A choice made mid-reveal moves and continues that same circle rather than starting another. ## Documentation How this website section works and how it goes into a page. The reference you use once you own the files (worked examples, events, the programmatic API, the class list) ships with the download. ### Quick start 1. Copy `assets/` next to your page. 2. Add the font, stylesheet, GSAP and the script: _Code snippet omitted: it ships with the download._ 3. Copy the `
` element from `index.html` (between the "copy from here / copy to here" comments) into your page. Everything else in `index.html` is a bare demo page. No build step. The script mounts every `[data-finish-configurator]` on the page. ### Make it yours #### Product, price and lead time Set on the section root: | Attribute | Example | Meaning | | --- | --- | --- | | `data-base-price` | `680` | Price with every "included" option | | `data-base-weeks` | `6` | Lead time with every "included" option | | `data-currency` | `GBP` | ISO currency for formatting | | `data-locale` | `en-GB` | Number and date formatting | | `data-duration` | `0.85` | Reveal and count duration in seconds (`0` = instant) | | `data-url-state` | (present) | Read and write the choice in the page URL (`?wood=walnut&seat=leather`) so it can be shared. Remove it if the section should not touch the URL. | Text inside the section is ordinary HTML: the maker line, the `h2` product name, the lede, the "per chair" note, the terms line, the detail caption and the three "after you order" steps. Any element with `data-fcs-weeks` shows the current lead time, so the same number can appear in your own copy. #### Options Each option axis is a `
