James was a painter based in Australia and he thought of selling his artwork online. We received a call from him the other day. This is a glimpse of the conversation our project manager had with him:
James: I’m looking to develop a small eCommerce store for selling my paintings. Can you help?
Project Manager: Of course. What features do you require for your website?
James: About us page, product showcase, and online payment option. How much will the website cost?
Project Manager: We’d suggest you build a Magento web store.
James: Will I be able to add new paintings on my own?
Project Manager: Yes, you would have full control over your website and you don’t need any technical knowledge for it.
James: Great. What would be the cost of such a website?
Project Manager: Please provide me your email ID so that I can share a detailed feature list for your website.
Our team sent an email with a detailed price estimate and feature list in the next couple of hours. We offered him a quote for basic functionalities along with easy payment options. We also shared our past work samples and portfolio of Magento stores that we had developed. He had already collected quotes from 10 other Magento development agencies and compared them. As he was a start-up, he did not have enough money to invest in for eCommerce development. He was impressed with our portfolio and prompt responses. So, he called us to know why our quote was higher than the other companies.
Conversation between James & Project Manager:
James: Hey, I liked the samples of your websites. I got a quote from a few other companies and that’s 5 times lesser than yours. How can you justify that?
Project Manager: We are very transparent with our prices and timelines. We have worked on 200+ Magento projects till date. Unlike freelancers, we always meet the deadlines and ensure that you get the best value for every dollar you spend. We’re backed up with certified developers and expert business analysts who build effective web stores that make a lot of money in the long run.
James: I’ve never worked on a CMS website before. Will your developers be able to teach me how to manage my site on my own?
Project Manager: There’s nothing to worry about. We’re available 24 X 7. Once your website is completed, we would guide you to make the changes on your store.
We suggested him to use free themes and extensions for his eCommerce store. He also wanted to integrate his website with his existing backend system. Our team discussed all the aspects of eCommerce development with James over the call and explained to him that some Magento development companies that offer low-cost solutions may be incapable of delivering the best value for money. You may end up paying a lot more than the actual cost of store development.
James was quite satisfied with the openness and transparent nature of our project managers, and he wanted to talk to our Magento developers. We arranged a call with our certified programmers and they solved all the queries James had about the project. We signed a contract with him and started working on his project.

Many startups and small companies may not have a huge budget to invest heavily in Magento extensions to add the desired functionality to the online store. Fortunately, there are a few Magento development firms that offer extensions and modules for free.
Some extensions are free while some others may range from a few dollars to hundreds of dollars. It can be a good idea to choose free or low-cost Magento extensions to save a few dollars while developing your website. One can pick the right extensions that are compatible with each other and also verify that support and after-sales service would be provided by the seller. There are a few providers who offer an option to try the extensions for free for a particular period of time. You can try those and pay for them only if you find them useful.
