#1 Open Source CMS Vs Framework
Choosing between an open-source CMS and framework for your eCommerce business is an important decision that affects the overall cost of an eCommerce website.
Choosing Open-Source platforms such as WordPress, OpenCart, and Magento can be more cost-effective than customizing a framework for your eCommerce web development.
#2 Website Hosting
If your web design company does not include web hosting in the cost of your eCommerce website, you are free to choose any of the best and most reliable web hosting companies according to your budget.
When looking for a web server company to host your eCommerce store, one of the important things to look for is scalability.
Another factor that matters for eCommerce websites is uptime. Before choosing any web hosting company, ensure its servers have a 99.9% uptime guarantee.
If you are a small business with a new setup, you can choose an affordable yet reliable web hosting company like InterServer. They may charge you $100 per annum to host your eCommerce website.
#3 Payment terms
When you hire a web development company in India for your eCommerce website, you may need to pay 50% upfront to start the work and the balance 50% when the job is completed.
This is the standard payment term that most Indian eCommerce development companies follow.
Payment terms may sometimes depend on the total project cost. In some cases, where the total project cost is higher, the eCommerce website vendor may also agree to start the project with 25% upfront.
#4 Custom design vs template design
The cost of creating an eCommerce website in India can be significantly reduced if you use a readymade theme instead of a custom web design. When your Indian developer uses a custom design, they will have to put a lot of time into building and adjusting the layout, which may cost you a lot more than what you would have paid in the case of a theme-based design for your eCommerce store.
