What is the best way to develop a new service?

Question

CMS

Hello. The idea came up to create a service that functionally resembles Delivery Club and similar aggregators, where you could create an order not only for yourself, but also for another person. And all this, of course, with commissions from partners, other calculations, online payments, ratings, SMS alerts, business analytics and more. And what will be the cost "from" in your opinion?
We don't need to go into implementation details. I'm interested in the platform itself.

Answer 1

Before choosing a platform and cost, you need to order a PAID creation of a technical specification, which will contain all the necessary roles, blocks and data movements between them.
From this, it will already be clear: what is the best way to do it, etc.

Answer 2

Java or C# - from 1,000,000 and further
Node.js - from 850,000 PHP ( let 's
consider for the full picture) - from 800,000 , and some main one) and further depending on the wishes

Answer 3

Framework / self-written. The first is cheaper and faster.
From frameworks I recommend Laravel. You can do it in Ruby / Django, but it will be more expensive (and most likely better).
I suppose the cost is from $ 2000, if without TK. But if you want educated people to do, then multiply by three.

Answer 4

This is written in Spring/Symfony.
If we take into account that a team of three developers will make such a portal for 2 months - at least 2 kilodollars per month for each, or even more.
Don't forget about "TK", UI, UX, PR/SMM.
A million and a half minimum.

Answer 5

The main functionality can be written for example in yii. The cost is about $1000.
And here

commissions from partners, other payments, online payments, ratings, SMS alerts, business analytics and others

too vague to name a price.
But I doubt that anything good will turn out cheaper than $ 1500-2000
There is another question about the expected load. Design complexity, etc.
If you set out to surpass Delivery Club, add unique features, etc. That price tag can go for 5k. And if the design is ordered for Lebedev, then for 500k.
Although for freelance there are probably people who promise to do it on wordpress for $ 500.

Answer 6

Who can I contact to find out the terms and cost? Write a technical specification with a detailed description of the functions and post it on FL? Go to a consulting agency?

Answer 7

If relevant write (contacts in profile). I would do either in Symfony or Laravel. It's hard to tell without a specific specification on the price tag. But in the region of 2-4 to $

Answer 8

These things need to be coordinated with a SPECIFIC developer.
You never know what they will say to you here ( not answering for their words ).
Not a single sane developer, provided that you can force him to answer for his words (force him to do this work), will give you a specific answer based on your vague formulations.
Even the number of zeros in the price cannot be accurately determined. You can only estimate in a wide range from 50,000 (if you suddenly find a ready-made solution) to several million or tens of millions of rubles (if you want to make a cool portal to the whole world).
IMHO, depending on a HEAP OF SMALL DETAILS of the task, the price may differ by 10 times ...Technologies can also differ depending on specific details, budget, developer - and you can get the same result in hundreds of technically alternative ways.
If you are a developer, then you need to use what you know best. It's always better - faster and higher productivity, therefore cheaper.
If you are a customer, then first find good developers, then SPECIFICALLY negotiate the price with them. It may very well be that specifically their "expensive" technology may turn out to be cheaper than the "cheap" technology of others.
If your question is what to learn for a beginner to make a service, then learn Go.
PS:
Those of the developers who are here, without understanding the problem at all, are already trying to set a price - these are absolutely not qualified specialists.
Of course, you can be tempted by the price and try to work with them - but very quickly you will find the usual "illness":
Or the developer will disappear, because he realized that he could not cope (and his beloved grandmother urgently fell ill and his beloved hamster urgently needs to go to his grandmother save him).
Or the price goes up.
Or simple work is done for a very, very long time, for many months.
PPS:
Well, someone from having appointed a price here, called it completely from the bulldozer, not intending to work at this price himself. Forcing other developers to fit into the price that someone, without bearing any responsibility for it, named on the forum is utter nonsense.
