Website, DB, & Software Developers

If you're paying that to your developer they've got quite a markup. Maybe that includes maintenance or troubleshooting?

OTOH, the $675 to put your site on a new platform sounds reasonable to me. But unless your developer can explain to you why you got hacked and what safeguards they are putting into place, it seems kind of useless. Also, if you tell them that you didn't upload on an unsecure wifi, and they are still trying to blame you, that does not sound good.

I'm not a big fan of open cart, they charge or their service and are not very flexible. How much work are you doing yourself on the site? do you work with the CMS? I usually set up static pages and shopping carts through the same platform, and let the shop owner add the products to the back end. If a developer sets up a site for you and you hire an assistant to manage the products you'd probably do better than having the developer do the whole thing, unless of course, you just want it done with as little activity on your part as possible.

To set up a new site, probably $1500 to 2500 depending on a lot of variables.
