Does anyone know normally what is the price to pay for programmer to build an ecommerce website by following my own specific requirements?
Normally it will take how long to complete building the website?

Depends on how many products you have, like how many different category and type.

If you are aware of what you are doing... I think you can find them fairly cheap ... and does the job for you too !!
If you are not aware of what you are doing ... you might get somebody who cut your throat and doesn't do a good job

100(cheap)~500 ringgit for a simple one..but its actually quite easy to do it yourself..

100~500 ringgit is normally shit jobs/desperate people/very inexperienced people.

e-commerce sites cost usually four figures to five figures. for a site that sell their own things, maybe about 100 items it could be around RM3k ~ 7k.
if you are talking about sites like ebay, it will cost a lot more.

note that what i say is only an approximation, and it includes custom changes (minor ones)

lol..i would do it for Rm500

thats up to you =)

Well, with my skill, I don't even want to design for somebody.

To be a web programmer
Master HTML, CSS, PHP, Javascript and MySQL at least

If you still need to check the internet very often for codes. I don't think you should be programming a web for somebody else.

I've got a friend who's a pro at PHP, he's earning big bucks up to 6 digits earnings every project
He has connection ... clever dude

exactly. that is why being a web designer is not so easy that you can just charge cheap. its just simply not worth it.

and respect to ur friend. 6 digits

Normally how much is cost for building a website like lelong.com.my?

you probably have to ask goldfries, the pro-programmer here. But there are ready made scripts out there too!

yea..but the scripts also cost money..

Will take a long time to get it done, especially dealing with so many different products. And also how to deal, like bank in, cash, cheque. Damn a lot of work to do. Design part haven't count yet.

far from being some power programmer la.

anyway yeah, cheapest is to just use OScommerce. they're free for use. customization of course will incur cost.

that kind of script is usually in the tens-of thousands to 6 figures.

that is why most people just create one themselves, if they know how.

6 figures including the 0.00 ?

TS, if you approach a company that does web-design, hosting and ecommerce you will get quoted at about 5k to 15k per project. it may take 1-3 months.

freelancers' rates will vary. the bottom-feeders will be the students and part-timers who may do it for free as a challenge, student project, or otherwise for a few hundred bucks.

good luck.

Usually about RM3000 for a customize ecommerce cart, you can choose those open source system such as zencart, oscommerce, cubecart.

The fuction are more then enough to a new shop. I have more then 20 different oscommerce template which inclide hardware, furniture, flower, car part, souvenier, cloth, sport gear, pet shop... bla bla bla. but i still did not know how to upgrade the system to the latest version


Re code the open source ist? Dun spoil the market lo...charges so cheap.

if you are talking about something like lelong.com.my forget about it if you are paying 4 digi .... this site min also 5 digi already... but if you are looking for simple one like goldfries say oscommerce will do .. normally ppl charge cheap confirm they are using opensource to do for you already ... if not you can ask some company have their own ecommerce product they are charging around 3k+ for a basic one, other feature that you request will be addition charge, now a days no ppl will count how many product you have is all unlimited product

Oscommerce are very good, the basic system already can let u setup a online store...

With nice template, you may change a bit higher to the client, I just setup a OsCommerce Mobile Store and OsCommerce Jewelly Online Shop propose to my client.
