e commerce site design pricing

Post by vasilis »

I was wondering if there is a general pricing guideline concerning the designing of an e commerce site (how much the designer should charge the client). Of courseit depends on the country, but I think that we can talk either dollars or euros. This site includes a mysql database with products, clent authentication, a shopping cart, an administration interface for editing/deleting/adding products and of course the corresponding html code needed. Are there any price ranges on the market?

As you yourself said - it depends very much on where in the world you and/or your customer are. What might seem cheap in the UK may not be in Russia.

Although you can get shopping carts for free, there's an awful lot more to creating an online shop. The web developer/s are tasked with installing and testing the software, visual design of the site (that's the most important bit really), integration with office software systems, and at the very least some basic promotion like registering with SEs and online shopping portal sites. I'd normally use a standard cart module but, if someone needed a custom cart, writing new code adds considerably to the scale of the job.

In the UK, I'd be talking four figures - with the price varying depending on the scale of the job, the size of the business and how much I think I can get away with. Compared to setting up a high street shopfront, or even the price of regular magazine mail order ads, that's a bargain.

But, before even starting on any of that, I'd look at the client's prices. Internet shopping is usually pretty price sensitive: if he's not at the lower end of the spectrum, or offering some kind of unique service, I'd tell him to forget it.
