Crowell Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Hello everyone! I am looking for a designer who would make a theme for me. More or less I would like to have something like this: http://www.maccosmetics.com/index.tmpl How much would it cost and how long would it take to make one? Theme for the newest version of PrestaShop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dh42 Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Being familiar with the site and the features of the site, it would need more than a theme if you want all of the features. I would estimate around $70k minimum if you are wanting everything replicated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crowell Posted June 11, 2014 Author Share Posted June 11, 2014 I don't need a perfect copy, big slider and menu on the left. An important thing for me is to choose colors (hope it will show up) http://www.maccosmetics.com/products/palette/create.tmpl# 70.000$? Is it a real price of writing a theme and maybe feature?

Dh42 Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 It is, they have some pretty complex features on the site. I have quoted the palette configurator several times, it is where most of the price is tied up at. You are looking at around 20-35k just for that.

Crowell Posted June 11, 2014 Author Share Posted June 11, 2014 I'm shocked that the price is so big. As a small start-up I cannot afford such a big invest just in a website, I guess I will keep looking for something I can customize on my own. Thank you for help.

Dh42 Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 I am sure you can find someone that will make it cheaper, but at the same time you are asking to make a theme that the original R&D on was probably 10 million or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crowell Posted June 11, 2014 Author Share Posted June 11, 2014 If the price you mentioned is real, you would be probably surprised what did I expect and what would I mean by "cheap". Maybe years ago, there are similar websites to this one, I just gave an example to show what do I mean about the size of menu and the slider. Menu full of categories using PS features, I really cannot understand where is there so much work.. Feature which allows you to drag a color square to the picture on the left and will show this color inside? I could understand if I would need a whole website, with the system, features and maybe made in flash.. but probably it would be already a million Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dh42 Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 I don't think you realize what is involved in making that site to be honest. You would either have to heavily modify AWP by Presto-Changeo, or you would have to rewrite the whole Prestashop attribute system. They have a 30 shadow palette with 140 different shadows. That alone would generate 30 to the power of 144 combinations (way over 1 trillion) Prestashop could not handle even close to that without crashing. A few thousand tops. Then you are talking about custom animations for category pages, the ability to allow someone to set up their own custom full screen animations. That would be a time consuming module in itself. Then there is the side navigation which would be totally custom as well and need to be configurable. I really do not think the price is out of line for the features on the site. To duplicate that site in Prestashop, you wouldn't be talking a couple of day or a week or two job. I would guess it would take a team of developers a month or so at least of uninterrupted work on the site, if not more. Lots of people read this board, if you want, post your budget, it might be in the range of someone that will take on the job. I am just giving my 2 cents on the site. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crowell Posted June 11, 2014 Author Share Posted June 11, 2014 Thank you for this detailed answer, I will try to read more about it in order to understand what am I dealing with. Until now I thought this is a job for maximum few days, now I understand my mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
