The cost to have an eCommerce website created depends on a variety of factors, but it can range from $5,000 to more than $100,000.
Custom eCommerce websites can be expensive, but there's more to it than just the initial web development price. You'll need continued investments to improve functionality, user experience enhancements, marketing, and security too.
Depending on the simplicity or complexity of an eCommerce platform and any cost associated with licensing, costs can vary drastically.
Your choices include industry-specific solutions, integrated solutions, and SaaS offerings designed to be comfortable for business owners to set up and configure themselves. The lowest cost can start at $20 to $30 per month.
The themes or templates offered by the many SaaS offerings are quick and cheap options for any business. The designs may not be a perfect fit for your company, but it is an easy way to customize your site without much work needed on their end.
Expect to spend anywhere from $0 to $250 for a theme and another $1,000 to $2,000 making minor changes and customizations.
Allowing you to use functionality developed by someone else, many platforms provide module or extension support. This allows the user much more affordable solutions than they could make themselves and can vastly improve their website's quality.
Before developing custom features, do not forget to check what extensions are available before writing any code.
Hosting costs are more predictable than others. SaaS offerings will include some level of hosting in their packages. You'll want to check the limits included for things such as storage, traffic, products, customers, or orders before signing up so that you know what's available to you when it comes time to launch your business.
A typical SaaS solution is a one-time $19 startup fee followed by monthly fees that begin as low as $5 and can grow to be over the triple digits.
