Which company to entrust the creation of an online store?

Question

Search Engine Optimization

We set the task to create an online store.
It is clear that I, as a system administrator, have no direct relation to this, so I need to find where to turn to make a good, solid online store.
Requirements (literally from the authorities)
-So as not to swell $ 10,000 at once
-So that the issue with the security of payment on the site
is resolved -Fault tolerance (to be always available, as I understand it. There is no talk of fault tolerance with 100,500 online clients) -Normal
design
-Special the point is the requirement that the idea of ​​​​the store is not taken away by the performers! (I don’t know what kind of super-idea they have, but they are very afraid of a leak).
I would be very grateful for tips on good companies that do this.

> So as not to swell $10,000 at once
Well, it all depends on the volume of your Wishlist. A normal average store comes out somewhere around 150-200 tr. with original design.
> To resolve the issue with the security of payment on the site
As a rule, everyone uses some kind of merchant like robokassa or the like - there all issues are resolved globally, for a long time and you do not need to worry about it.
> Fault tolerance (so that it is always available, as I understand it. There is no talk of fault tolerance with 100,500 online clients)
Here the question is rather to hosting, and not to developers. Unless, of course, the developers are complete idiots.
> Normal design
This is too broad a concept, but an individual, completely obnoxious design starts from 20-25t.r.
> A special point is the requirement that the idea of ​​the store is not taken away by the performers! (I don’t know what kind of super-idea they have, but they are very afraid of a leak).
That's what all customers are afraid of. And in vain - believe me, 10 pieces a month pass through each developer of such super ideas. Nobody fucking wants your idea. The idea has no value at all. Here is a good explanation on the topic: www.artlebedev.ru/kovodstvo/sections/161

Answer 2

Take some free prestashop, launch it in 2-3 days and fill it with goods. Test for another week and fix bugs.
Out of the box, any free engine can accept payments (and does it better and safer than a self-written one) in 1-2 elementary ways.
As a result, you have a ready-made working store in 1-2 weeks. Run it and collect statistics - what is incomprehensible to users, which module is popular, what functionality is requested most often, etc. Based on this, you wind up paid and free (this also happens) modules that cover these needs of users.
Also, as you receive wishes from the authorities, add other paid things: design, new payment methods, rainbow backgrounds, buttons with cats, etc., etc. Each Wishlist will cost the authorities a completely predictable amount, as a result, the most stupid ones will disappear by themselves.
The authorities need to understand that, as a rule, they are narrow-minded and stupid, therefore, hundreds of such ideas fly through the air every day. They are of no interest to anyone, no one will take them away.

Make TK, post it on various forums, sites where they offer work. Read reviews about companies, choose.

Answer 4

And you can try and configure it on your own on some SAAS platform. And you can ask for extra money for this and get new skills. For example, from what I watched recently: www.merchium.ru , you can google more options, because. merchium has recently been released, and may be damp. On the other hand, it's modern.

Answer 5

"If you want to do something well - do it yourself" (c)

1. $10,000 is a fairly large budget for creating an online store, I don’t know what prices are in Russia, but in Belarus the most hyped offices, the price will vary between $3,000 - $4,000, and this cost will include not only the creation online store, as well as its content, integration of all possible payment systems and most importantly, in my opinion, starting promotion in search engines. It is very often practiced that companies from Russia work on outsourcing, ordering projects in Belarus and reselling them to you :)
2. Payment security is usually decided on the side of the payment system, just integration is enough.
3. Fault tolerance will depend on the hosting with which you conclude an agreement.
4. Design for such money should be super cool.
5. As for the confidentiality of your ideas, any serious company specializing in the creation and design of websites will not tarnish its reputation.
