Hire the storefront built
A store is built once. The photos are judged on every product, by every visitor, forever.

How this route actually costs
We keep this route here because it is a real and often sensible purchase — a well-built storefront saves weeks and avoids a pile of app subscriptions bolted on later. What we would push back on is the ordering. Almost everyone buys the build first and shoots product photos with whatever they have, which inverts where the money does work: the build is a one-time structural improvement, while the photos are what a buyer actually evaluates on every single listing. If the budget only covers one, and your catalogue is small, the shooting setup compounds and the build does not.
Everything on this card is cost-structure analysis built from the marketplace's own published price ranges plus reasoning about what the route can and can't do. It is not a review: we have not commissioned this work, so we don't rate sellers and we don't publish a number that would imply we had.
