How much does it cost to set up a wordpress online store template?

Question

themeforest

Hello colleagues. You need to buy, set up a ready-made template for an online store on wordpress, buy a domain, tie the engine to the domain. How much does a job like this cost? What else needs to be done besides the above? The online store consists of 3-4 product categories. There are about 150 products. Data about the product, its quantity are sent to the basket, and from there everything arrives by mail. I am engaged in layout, creating logic on js, I also did a layout stretch on wp. This is the first time I've received such an order, so I'm asking for your advice. And what is your adequate monthly price for storing the customer's site on your own hosting? Please write your opinion with justification of the price, thank you.

Hello.
No offense, but you're planning on doing some bullshit. Let me explain my idea:

And what is your adequate monthly price for storing the customer's site on your own hosting?

It’s better not to even think about storing customer sites, because. you take on a number of obligations not as a coder and / or programmer, but also as - attention! - a hoster, well, or at least minimally as an administrator. If you yourself do not have the knowledge and experience necessary for this, then you can get stuck even on the most banal issues, without touching on the topics of regular server software updates and all sorts of abnormal situations created by the customers themselves, whose projects you are going to host. And claims, if something happens, will be presented to you on all grounds, and not to the company from which you rent the server.
Of course, there may be such an option that you will come across indifferent customers who will not care at all what they have with the site and how it happens. But this does not relieve you of responsibility for the decisions you make.
Second: the price is determined by the knowledge + experience of a specialist, and this, in principle, is an individual feature. Everyone is different, not even talking about greed, adequacy, and so on. They can tell you both $5/hour and $500/week, as a result, there will be no useful information for you personally in this at all, you will only get confused. You have a different profile, knowledge, experience.
The easiest way to calculate in your case: calculate how much money you need per month (this is where youradequacy) for a comfortable life (bills, food, etc.), then divide this amount by 20 (working days in a month) and divide the total by 8 (hours in a working day). This is how you find out your rate per hour, for a start this should be enough.
Finally:

customize the template

This is a theme , not a template.

attach the engine to the domain

The engine is not "screwed" anywhere, but is installed on the server.

What else needs to be done besides the above?

Set up available software on the server, set up the engine, remove as much unnecessary rubbish as possible from the theme, which will be there a lot, without making changes to the parent theme itself. This is for the main points.

Answer 2

Purchased themes are very different from each other. And the cost will depend on the requirements for the online store, as well as on your qualifications, speed of work, the number of errors in the finished work and other factors. Purchased themes have pre-installed templates that determine the design of the site's interface. Perhaps the client will like the pre-installed template from the theme as it is.
But in my experience, they have to be shoveled a lot and the work turns out to be more than if you do the WordPress layout + backend from scratch. You constantly need to screw some kind of crutches, optimize someone else's code. In almost any template of purchased themes, there are blocks that need to be cut out of the interface. And most of the topics are not translated into Russian, which also adds work.
In any case, you need to take into account all these factors in order to understand how much it will cost. Having previously approved with the client what specific changes you plan to make.
And you will have to calculate the exact price of this work yourself. Everyone has their own pricing.
