    Ecomm software for 50k item shop

    well I agree with dataferret's whole post and when I said Os commerce then I meant anything similar like Zen cart, magento and probably a couple of hundred others. This will actually depend on the person responsible to shift your inventory though. May be you can write a code that will push the...

    Costs for a website

    I am sorry I am really being very chatty lol but all I wanted to say that the cost to get it developed 10k+ and buying off the shelf have a major difference in between. However, this in no way is the business cost. Business costs will include marketing budget, products price budget when low on...

    Costs for a website

    You forgot £3500 a month sexy receptionist, £4000 a month office, £500 a month phone bill because you will make a lot of calls to your friends. A dedicated server costs as low as 50 euro (I cannot post links here but feel free to PM me), do your own template and I was unable to understand...

    Ecomm software for 50k item shop

    Why they need a dedicated server when they are payment through a 3rd party gateway storing no card/paypal data on this host? They for NO reason require a dedicated server. There is a big problem with IT. A lot of people use the keywords without even understanding the meaning. Requirement of a...

    Ecomm software for 50k item shop

    Having 50k products won't make anything slow. It's the traffic. Now if you have something like 10k hits a day yea you need a dedicated server but if not, then £5 a month hosting works out very good. Just because you can afford a dedicated server doesn't make it a requirement. Let's look at this...

    Ecomm software for 50k item shop

    no i am not kidding you its just you who is making fun of himself :) Now obviously freelancers and web designers wont like this post as it suggests DIY saving them the bill of hiring someone like you for £1000 or even more for this job. Makes sense? :)

    Lost in the post?! Customer honesty...

    Costs for a website

    no, costs about £500, even less in some cases. I searched google for Penny Auction Script and the first result was selling it for $795, secon for $1200, third for $749 so I dont see that 10k+ for something that is no longer a unique idea. there are hundreds of such sites live.

    I can write the programs, I just need the hardware device with an OS

    My question would be that when there is hardware, the manufacturer would already have the software released for it so why would anyone need yours?

    Ecomm software for 50k item shop

    why not try something like OS Commerce where you can keep same URLs so you do not lose search engine ranking and software is open source so no cost there, and hosting can be as cheap as £5 a month?. May be even less then that.

    What would you or your customer be happy to pay?

    even the branded ones are cheaper then your price so I think you got to rethink the idea at least for one more time.

    Costs for a website

    I wont do it for 2 main reasons. 1. Developing from scratch costs a lot more then off the shelf product. 2. Time required to debug the code developed off shore and then do the security tests take so long that usually it out run the benefits. So my suggestion again would be to buy a ready...
