I'm in the early stages of planning an e-commerce site and wondered if anyone can give me some advice on likely set-up costs? I don't want a site that looks like it has been churned out from a template, it needs good design. It would need to be able to list a large number of products with zoomable images in order to be able to see detail. I would need to be able to up-load all of the images / descriptions.

Obviously it is impossible to price this accurately I'm just looking for a ball park figure at the moment - both initial setup cost and any ongoing costs.

Any help very gratefully received


Cheers

Simon

Hi,

One of our customers does just such a thing, setting up web shops, the design, the shop, the hosting, the lot. Info and pricing here: http://www.websq.co.uk/pricing/index.php

Google 2dmedia.co.uk (he is a PHer) and did our site.

It has that zoom in feature for products which works really well and its all really simple to use.

Highly reccomended.

Simon,

check my profile, then give me a shout if you want to discuss hosting options..

Alot of design agencies will try to sell you on their own packages, and whilst these can be great, sometimes they are just ways for them to keep the design cost low, and make more back on the hosting.

A good design shouldnt need to be tied to anyones own hosting.. infact if it is.. you have to worry what happens if you ever fall out.
