Ways to build & host e-commerce site – Please suggest

Hi,

I would like to build a e-commerce site (retail superstore) for Pune location. When I researched and found below 3 options are available to build and maintain a e-comm site.

Please suggest a good option in terms cost, maintenance and long term benefit.

  1. Hire freelancers to code and host the website. 
  2. Use e-commerce building sites like Shopify, Infibeam, BuildaBazaar etc. Charges varying from   Rs. 2500 – Rs.5000 per month. No IT technical skills required for design a site. Customization is big issues, some features I wanted may not be available in their templates/themes.
  3. Outsource to company who can build & host the site and including first year maintenace. Charges vary from 80K – 1Lac and maintenance charges of 15K – 18K from second year onwards.  

There would be additional charges for logo design and images for home page.

If anyone has better option please suggest.

Thanks,

Shridhar K
