No comparison.
A business concept package.

Everybody needs to start somewhere. A germ of an idea, a seed sewn, a sapling nurtured until it's ready to spread and grow, a custom concept just for you or a packaged concept ready to run. The Idea Bridge will give you that start and we will be with you every step of the way by putting our money where our mouth is by covering costs on a 5% commission on sales or subscriptions enabling us to not just provide a unique service for business concepts but a competitive phase 3 set up cost for brand, site/app design and a 'first rung' business & marketing plan. Nobody else provides this competitive against an e-comm alternative.

Although you can run with your own idea or order a bespoke concept the quickest route to market is to select one of our 'lifestyle' concepts from a selection of three, complete phase 1 as ordered & go to full design and spec. If you were to seal the deal at the opening bid price, you'd get the concept and phase 1 - brand and brand guidelines, full future proof concepts, sample site/app layouts, 'first rung' business/marketing plan, full design and developer specification for just over £2K.
Concept, brand, business plan, full design & developer  specification from £2,015*.
Using banddave.co.uk as a sample we've got site and PWA app costed at £3K for stage 1. This gives us a total of £5,015. Remember this isn't just a shop, there are multiple income streams, a social hub, a resource for musicians and the structure for future expansion built in. Our 5% commission can be built into your costs so your customer pays and we stay with you with annual meetings and advice.
Stage 1 development prepped for future expansion from £3,000.
Total: £5,015*.
In April 2020 we did some comparative research to compare brand and straight Shopify template designed ecomm site costs. Remember there is no business concept or plan, no allowance for Shopify monthly charges and no options for additional income streams and expansion. Just a brand design and a modified template on the Shopify system.
Comparative brand, Shopify template & development £4,200-£9,600.
