Default Ecommerce Website Design needed

Hi guys!
I am looking into getting a professional to design and set-up a Ecommerce site for my business. I just don't have the time to do it myself and do a proper job. Can anyone refer me to someone that can give a me a rough idea on what it would cost?
As I will be selling Auto Parts One of the main features I wanted is the ability for the customer to select the vehicle make, then model and then year in drop down menus so that only parts for their vehicle choice will be shown.
I have also just started using Xero as accounting software so if I can get something that will have an add-on that links to Xero that would be handy BUT not essential.

Hello,

I can recommend Webholic (http://webholic.com.au) for your web design and ecommerce requirements. Do you currently have a domain name registered? If you don't, we can offer you business grade Australian web hosting and domain name registration. Feel free to visit us at http://www.netorigin.com.au.

Regards,

Shaun

Hello ad2405

We are delivering an Ecommerce Platform and an Email Marketing Platform to a ladies fashion label for an early January launch so feel free to say hello.

You should be careful because a rough idea is not worth anything unless it relates to a detailed brief.

Two very basic questions come to mind...

Who is to load the content?

How many products do you have?

If you are selling auto parts then one issue you might face is sheer volume of products. If you are selling across multiple makes, models and years then the number of parts adds up quickly. You also might need to consider storing VIN numbers if the parts are specialty or individual model related.

Also maintaining the parts information up to date could be an issue.

So the ability to select from drop down menus is not really your core issue and that may well be better solved using search and not category menu structure.

You might try Pentana Solutions (www.pentanasolutions.com) as they specialise in auto and also provide an online shop capability with an automated product feed.

Generally speaking I think that you will be looking in the $10,000 range for design, setup, integration to Xero. Software and hosting for a year will depend on what you use OS + hosting or a SaaS based solution.

We can do the job easily and we integrate directly into Xero.

The price point is really up to if your going to be uploading the parts or you want someone to do this for you on a retainer.

Hi ad2405,

I run Brellabee which features eCommerce, as well as a host of premium plugins and WordPress Themes. I also do custom web design as Nuttify.

I can definitely help you out with your eCommerce website and can fit within any budget that you might have. As I work with a range of professionally designed themes, and already have an eCommerce framework that we can activate in your site, we can get your website online and generating revenue fast.

I can look into integrating with Xero.com. Although there may be other options, as all your transaction will likely flow through Paypal, and Paypal integrates tightly with xero.com already.

Please call me on 0404 301 542 to discuss.

Kind regards

Ajax

Hi Gino, I dont need anything sorry

Everyone is still looking to integrate into Xero... Our solutions fully support it and are well under the 10K mark suggested by others in this thread.

More towards the 4K range.

Hi there,

A few months ago I was in the same situation as you are now. I needed a e-commerce for my business and being a start up, my budget was quite limited. After a few days of researching and asking questions, I came across a Web Development Company called Pti-WebTech. I gave them a go and I am very please with the level of work done.

The project cost was about $1,500 (plus some extensions I had to buy separately) and they built the e-commerce from scratch, no templates (which was something I was avoiding.)

If you are interested email me to lucianodevoto@gmail.com and I will send you the link of my website which it is still in testing mode (not live) so you can have a look at it.

Hope this helps

Cheers,

Luch
