To design it as it is or do redesign it? It depends on so many things, is the shop beskope or is based on somthing like os commerce?

As I am not yet in the industry I wouldn't like to say but once I am established my company would probably charge at least £2000 depending on how much of the graphics were supplied etc.

On face value it dosn't seem too complicated and the design is simple, so maybe £2000 is too much?

its just a redesign for a company to look similar.

i was thinking around 4k-5k

E-Web, I believe your around the right mark although it does depend on what other services are going on in the background.

i.e. stock control, offers, bundles, affiliates, process notifications etc.

I'm pretty sure that's X-Cart software running, if that helps.

Are you going to add all the stock?

So its just to bring the site up to W3C standards? I guess there is a lot of different pages there so it will mean a lot of rewritting. Stripping out crap HTML with PHP can be a pain to do.

 

[e-web solutions]

well its not this company.

its a different one that liked this site.

and we will be adding all the stock

 

[Rob Holmes]

How many items of stock are there and how long will it take for each item (sourcing picture, getting description, uploading, adding price and double checking all entries) ?

I don't see why it would be 4-5k myself.

1) find a shopping cart that the client wants to use (paid or open source)

2) skin it to match their design needs

3) load database with products.

I would have though a few hundred for designing a skin + an hourly rate for uploading the products.

I agree - unless I am totally missing something? The skin is only 1 page to design, there are no "pages" as such involved... the rest is just setup config time and then the stock to add.

That's assuming an off-the-shelf product has all the features a client wants and doesn't need to be modded. Also, the HTML output may need to be tweaked.

I think we'd charge around the 4-5k mark, but this would be for a totally bespoked e-commerce system that has the features they need and works how they would like it to and can be modified to their hearts content further down the line.

That's fair enough... For a bespoke system then that's a different thing altogether.
I just depends on what is needed and what the client wants i suppose... There is a good demand for bespoke products that can be tailor made to suit, on the other hand there is also a good demand for off the shelf and OS software that can be used if all the features are included as standard

I often find with OS software, such as shopping carts, that they used to be great, but now have too many features for clients who just want something that is easy to use & difficult to break
