Cost + timeline + credentials, what does a comic-books Magento project look like?

I bill at $25/hour. Realistic ranges for a comic-shop project:

• Starter sprint, $499 / ~20 hours. Audit your current platform, fix the 3 highest-impact issues (typically pull-list cron, pre-order PDP, or grading attribute setup), document the rest.
• Full Magento + Hyvä rebuild, $4,999 / ~200 hours. Theme setup, pull-list subscription product type, Diamond + Lunar Previews ingest, CGC/CBCS slab attribute + cert-lookup deep-link, customer-group tier pricing, publisher MAP/MSRP compliance, multi-region if needed.
• Enterprise / LCS franchise, $15k, $45k. Multi-location MSI, franchise reporting dashboard, ERP/POS integration (ComicHub, Lightspeed Retail, Square), Avalara/TaxJar tax automation, channel manager for eBay + Amazon + ComiXology (where still applicable).

Timeline: 4-6 weeks for the full rebuild on a typical 3-15k-SKU shop. Faster (3 weeks) if catalog is small and design is preserved; longer (10-14 weeks) for LCS franchise multi-location in scope.

Credentials: Adobe-Certified Magento developer, 30+ Magento + Hyvä stores shipped, comic-books vertical experience including pull-list cron + Previews ingest + graded-slab cataloging. Three pull-list subscription stores live in production today. References available on request.
