What is the cost of ecommerce website development?

[BertrandD]

Hello,

Just a question !

So, "What would be the bill for creating an e-commerce website?" Or "What is the basic cost of an e-commerce website?"

Thank you

[Mara]

It depends on where you hire the developer or if you decide to make yourself if you have not budget for that but your time has a cost.

[Patrick]

Yes, indeed, the cost of e-commerce development depends on many factors. Here are the basic ones:

 

The number of features and the complexity of their realization

The country where the development center will be based in.

Whether you will use an individual design, design template or will require responsive design.

Technical issues

The number of pages

The number of future updates

 

Usually, the time estimation for the development of an e-commerce store is from 300 to 700+ hours. As I've mentioned, the developments costs vary from country to country.

The hourly rate for developers in Asia 20-45 USD, in Eastern Europe 25-70, in North America 100-150.

Let's consider the average developers' rate of 40 USD, and you'll get your total, which is around $12000 - $28000+.

Just by experience, it's not simple to choose a solution, because some are very close on the functionalities. But, it's important to do that by yourself or a consultant and not read all the bull cheat write on internet to promote just a solution.

Your business and need are more important because after you are included inside a specific eco-system.

BUt if your do not find a solution, you must invest to take a programmer

I think, the best is to make a request and see the price and the approach.

[MattJr]

Design: Your site needs to look great, work well and be unique.

Content: Without engaging content, your site is just a beautiful, but hollow, shell.

Maintenance: Server hosting, domain names, and backups will keep your site online.

Management: Someone has to keep your site content and software up to date after launch.

Price can go up to 10k

@MattJr,

Design: Your site needs to look great,

I am not sure about that, just a correct design is enough, I know website works very well witthout a big investment.
 

But, for me, not a programmer, beginner, I have a decision to make, be independent and grow with my website, or to be dependent and use a tool as Shopify (example) and miss evolution.
There is a big difference, approach and cost.
Content, maintenance, evolution, investment adapted are important.

It depends on your platform, if you are using WooCommerce you can check this blog post about complete eCommerce setup cost https://www.cloudways.com/blog/woocommerce-pricing/

[Namiko]

I used woocommerce but it's not ergonomic; it made for very little company, I prefer something oiented e-commerce that a blog conception. It's my opinion.
That's one of my criteria when I selected a solution to build my ecommerce website.

[Rainer]

Agree with @Namiko, some people use wordpress but forget there is some securities problems and after customisation you do not know what's happen in the furtur.

Nice for very little company but not not updated if you want to make something seriously.

And  Free is never free ! Do not forget that !

Actually there are not exact answer. It all depends on plenty factors. The most significant are complexity and what developer you hire. As for first it's enough simple: as more complex your app as more costly it is. But talking about developers there are different hourly rates and can be a lot of aspects. Here is a list of companies developing such solutions which are placed according to their hourly rates

The cost of a custom website in 2020 may vary between $2,500 and $38,000 and over. Everything depends on your requirements (neat landing page or large e-commerce project) and hourly rates of web developers. The latter varies drastically depending on the region where you hire them. Recently I found estimation guide about this topic in Cleveroad blog.

The cost of developing an ecommerce website can vary greatly depending on several factors, such as the complexity of the website, the number of products or services offered, the level of customization required, and the experience and location of the web development team. Here are some general estimates of the costs involved in ecommerce website development:

Basic ecommerce website: A basic ecommerce website with a simple design and a limited number of products can cost anywhere between $2,000 and $10,000.

Mid-range ecommerce website: A mid-range ecommerce website with more features, such as payment gateways, shipping integration, and a content management system, can cost between $10,000 and $50,000.

Complex ecommerce website: A more complex ecommerce website with advanced features, such as personalized recommendations, social media integration, and inventory management, can cost anywhere between $50,000 and $500,000 or more.

It's important to note that these are just general estimates, and the cost of developing an ecommerce website can vary widely depending on your specific requirements and the level of expertise of the web development team. Additionally, ongoing maintenance and support costs may also be required to keep the website up-to-date and running smoothly.
