Can anyone help an amateur with an online store?

Question

Online shopping

There was a need to create an online store, or rather not even so. Not strong in terminology, so I will explain as best I can. For the most part, a catalog site is needed, in which it will be possible to add the entire assortment with the price and quantity in stock, but the possibility of ordering will not be superfluous. I need a simple website with a simple design. I myself am a complete zero in this matter, the maximum I can do is change the picture in a ready-made solution.
Actually, this is what interests me. How much will it cost to order such a site, and where is the best place to do it. I do not know the prices for such work, and even more so the places where they do it, so I decided to ask the people who do this.
Here is an example of a site whose appearance interests me: www.kraft.su
Perhaps I asked a very stupid question, but I'm afraid to get divorced, and I want to be at least a little prepared for the job order.

If you don’t want to do it normally right away, it’s better not to even take it on (don’t invest).
If you want to find normal developers, look at how they will make a commercial offer according to your requirements: how detailed will they describe the work with prices, what guarantees will they offer, will they offer free TP in the first 3 months after the completion of work, will they impose paid TP immediately, what a project architecture diagram will be provided, with or without descriptions, and whether it will meet your requirements.
Use "safe deal". You pay a percentage, but insure yourself against poor quality work.
Go to my blog and read the list of works on the creation of the site.
PS: A short guide at an adequate price (front + back + bd): white screen with the line NORMAL! (not "smart"!) search and results with a text list from the database (there is just a list: search in one column in one table) - 1000 rubles.

And Lada viburnum and Bentley, for example, are quite similar - they have 4 wheels, a steering wheel, pedals and seats. But for some reason the price is very different.
Or you order video shooting for a wedding. Those students over there agree to shoot on the phone for beer. A local professional photographer wants $200 already, and if you invite Spielberg to shoot, prepare millions.
So it is with websites. You can google "order an online store inexpensively" and choose the cheapest option, or contact Lebedev, he will issue an amazing invoice.
The best option would be to find a small studio that does not yet raise the price into space, but has already completed more than a dozen orders. On an engine like opencart or wordpress, so as not to pay for the "box" and then it was not difficult to find a specialist for improvements.

There is a great free e-commerce platform called Prestashop. It is installed elementarily, there is a lot of information on the Internet for setting up, the admin panel is intuitive. There are many free, many inexpensive and many expensive modules for it - for any wallet. A bunch of forums where they help to sort out the intricacies and problems.
