Hello,
I'm new here and have a million questions. We want to have a custom designed website created -- no templates -- with a shopping cart -- so we have been in touch with a few local companies. We are meeting with one of them soon and are overwhelmed by what we don't know! They say they "hand code" everything -- including the shopping cart. Before we even add on some of the things that we really want -- including customer's being able to access past orders, tracking for packages etc, we're looking at a price of $27,000. Is this "normal?" It's frightening going into this without really understanding everything. They've already analyzed our website and our competitors so they'll build our new site based on their findings. Is there a price range for a totally customized website? I'd feel better knowing that this is not unheard of.

Thanks,
Debi
