Hey Guys,
I've come to the phase of my startup where a website is needed. It will be an eCommerce site with custom functionality like user profile creation, user login, and some other bells and whistles. I initially reached out to some design firm based here in Texas and I haven't gotten a quote for less than $6,000. Seems pretty steep for a Wordpress site but I am a little out of my element. Looking to get some more quotes I made a listing on elance and those proposals are coming in at $2,000 - $2500 but they are all from Indian developers. While they may be more than capable, I am hesitant to work with someone overseas because of communication. Also, I want to make sure that the site is pretty on the inside and out, meaning it needs to be maintainable and not just slapped together. Could someone with some experience working with U.S. based design firms confirm if the $6,000 price tag is warranted?
Many thanks,
