• Magento + Hyvä build: $25k, $75k. Smart-home-specific scope adds: ecosystem matrix model + filters ($4k, $8k), multi-device bundle builder UX ($5k, $10k), pro-install partner integration ($3k, $8k per partner), subscription monitoring layer ($3k, $6k), GDPR + CCPA + retention-disclosure layer ($2k, $5k), voice-demo PDP block ($1k, $3k), brand-portal MAP enforcement ($1k, $3k).
• Timeline: 8-14 weeks for a typical mid-market smart-home retailer. Faster (6 weeks) if SKU count is small and design is preserved; longer (16-24 weeks) for multi-region + B2B installer-channel layer in scope.
• Hosting: $400, $1,200/mo on Cloudways / dedicated. Smart-home does not see fashion-style drop spikes but Black Friday and holiday gifting drive 5-8x base traffic. CDN (Cloudflare) mandatory.
• Ongoing: $1.5k, $5k/mo retainer for through-season ops (Matter cert rollouts as brands add cert, brand-portal contract refresh, privacy-law updates, Black Friday war room).
