Ecommerce website question...

[AdamDuritz99]

If I wanted to start up a nice ecommerce website, how much do you think web developers would charge to make the site? I don't want some cheesy thing either. Something nice that will do all the billing and everything from my site, not one of those easy cart things or using paypal or bidpay.

beats me, but you get raped paying the CC companies anyways

3-4% plus per transaction fees, as well as monthly connection fees are typical

you'd think visa/mc international make enough money gouging the consumer at 20%+ per year...but no, they have to charge the merchant for giving THEM revenue on top of what they already make.

sorry, nonsensical ranting over

Very general question, but in the $1000's, and $500+ a month for hosting, support, ect.

Hosting shouldn't be anywhere near that quote unless you're planning on building your own mwave.com or something with a lot of bandwidth and a large database.

Prices for web design really differ between proximity and skill of the chosen design person/persons who create your site. I suggest contacting every design company in town(after checking the quality or their site and past work) and start asking for quotes. Use that as a tool like you would when comparing car prices. (so & so said they can do the site for $500 cheaper)

Good luck!
