  • Fresh developers may agree to set up a site at a lower cost. However, what you get is a half baked site full of bugs and glitches. This will drive away customers.

Look at sites like Amazon where you rarely have a glitch whether it is searching for products, placing orders, making payments or tracking shipments or even returns and refunds.
  • Talking of refunds and returns get this infrastructure set up well before your site goes live. People expect prompt action in refunds/returns as they do in shipment so you must have logistics in place. Your ecommerce site developer may have recommendations for you. If not you can always get quotes from logistic companies.
  • Established PHP/ecommerce web developers are what you should look at. They have the experience and the expertise to get it right the first time. Plus, you have the benefit of continuity. You cannot just launch a site and then forget about updates or maintenance. You will want the developer by your side to do whatever is necessary in future and at regular intervals if the site crashes. Anything can happen and it is good to have support when you need it most. When you operate an ecommerce site you cannot afford to have it down for any length of time.
