How Much Would It Cost To Design/develop A 20 To 30 Page Website In Boston, Ma?
I operate a small consignment store (men’s/women’s/children’s clothing) in Boston, Massachusetts and want to expand my sales to the internet and therefore require the creation of a website.
The site would require someone that has knowledge of html, css, php and maybe javascript. How much would this project cost?
And what would it cost for hourly assistance if I want to add product pages as my sales increase?
Also I have a friend who is a graphic design that said he could design the website however would need someone to do the development work – coding of it I guess. Would this affect the cost of the project? And if so, how much would it cost for a 20 to 30 page website if I needed someone to do the development only?
Thanks!

Assuming you want a storefront that uses something like http://www.oscommerce.com and are not too fussy about design, I would estimate a design cost of about $1,500 to $2,000.
Domain, security certificate and payment gateway startup fees (e.g., a credit card processor) will likely run about another $150. Hosting should only cost about $150 per year. Transaction and other bank fees depend on how much you sell and who handles your credit card payments.
You can always spec your project and post it at http://www.rentacoder.com or http://hotjobs.yahoo.com and get a price.
A site like what you want would run about $2000 – $2500. It will take about 4-6 weeks. It would include everything you need except for a merchant account. Check out this site for any more information you need.http://www.fullcreations.com/
Not sure about the rates in Boston.
But in general it depends on the quality of the website that you want to build. Is it a Walmart or is it Harrods?
Do you want a simple solution like ecrator or a turnkey solution?
How often do your prices and inventory change?
Have you already got advertisement quality images of your products that will you feel show your products properly.
Just a few things to think about.

It would be better if you post your projects at websites like http://definitivelab.com/
and ask all web designers to bid for your project, whoever bids less and has got good reputation, you may give the project to that web designer.
