Cost + timeline for a Magento gourmet store, and what are your Adobe Certified credentials?

Realistic ranges for a gourmet brand at $1M, $15M GMV migrating to Magento + Hyvä:

• Magento + Hyvä rebuild: $30k, $80k. Gourmet-specific scope adds: cold-chain shipping logic ($4k, $8k), corporate Q4 multi-recipient flow ($6k, $15k), subscription engine integration ($3k, $6k), curated-box builder ($5k, $12k), origin-storytelling attribute set + PDP build ($4k, $8k), multi-region labeling if needed (+$10k, $25k), international customs + HS codes (+$8k, $20k).
• Timeline: 10-16 weeks for a typical mid-market gourmet store. Faster (8 weeks) if SKU count is small and no cross-border; longer (18-26 weeks) with corporate-portal + multi-region.
• Hosting: $500, $2,000/mo on Cloudways / dedicated. Q4 pre-scaling assumes 8-12x base traffic Nov 15, Dec 22.
• Ongoing: $1.5k, $5k/mo retainer for through-season ops (Q4 war-rooming, subscription churn iteration, cold-chain rule tuning).

Hourly basis: my rate is $25/hr on a small-task basis, a $499 micro-scope translates to ~20 hours, a $4,999 mid-scope translates to ~200 hours. Fixed-bid is available for scoped projects.
