Coding price range

Hello everyone! I'm looking for a coding price range for an adoptable website to have features added to it along with some issues fixed. This will be for the future, I wanted to know how much I'd need to save up. <3 As an added note: All coding will be used on my two websites (Caves of Hiron and Vovvarna), so please keep that in mind.

For added information: Long story short, one of passion project's website is on the free version of Wix. It's a WIP but I've designed and connected everything myself with no coding. In it's WIP form I love it, it's a great starting base however in it's current form I have to add all the information myself which means users can't interact with their profiles without my assistance. Long term I would like to change that, there is a few things I would like to add or fix using backend coding that I'm unable to do myself. To my knowledge the site uses Velo which is a variant of JavaScript but to my understanding JavaScript is still compatible. I can fully design and place everything needed (front end, if I remember the term correctly) but coding it to function is a whole other ball game.

I have 2 CMSs on Wix, one for my creatures and one for my users however I haven't been able to connect the one for users to be able to login/out or make it where users can interact with their own profiles which brings me to the first feature.





Features I'd love to add:

-User dashboard?? (If that's what it's called)
I'd love an overall area for the users to be able to do the following:​

  • Change their bios.​
  • Change their creatures' bios​
  • Change their email addresses, passwords and be able to get a reset password email if they forgot it. (They could also contact me to get their password)​
  • Sign in and out function.​

-Dual form creatures coded on a schedule.
I'd LOVE to get a little bit ahead of my surprise and have coding set up for some of my creatures to have their two forms on set scheduled times. In CMS I have two image tabs for this very thing and two date tabs for when the creatures' start to change and when their change ends. (I hope I explained that well)

-Admin/staff dashboard
This one is a little more advanced but I'd like to have a dashboard for me and my staff where I can select their roles (which shows up on their profiles), lets me pick their permissions (what they can & can't do/edit) and lets me edit, add or remove creatures, users or items from my two CMSs without having to open them each time.


Fixing:​
  • On my creatures' profiles there is text on the page with the creatures' info on it that doesn't disappear when the connected text is empty which leaves a blank space next to it and takes space up on a page. I'd like it to collapse when the connected text is empty.​
  • In both of my search functions, user Packs and creature Search area, the bar area users type in doesn't work how normal input bars work. Since I couldn't code it I did a work around which made it where users can type on it to pull up a drop down menu that they can then select from before hitting the "search" button. I would like it to actually work how a normal input bar does.​
  • Users' items on a custom repeater - Currently Wix doesn't allow for their gallery tabs to be connected to repeaters unlike my creatures (not gallery tabs). I've thought about going around it by making another CMS but long term that isn't doable so I would like to have a custom code for the repeater to work.​





If you're interested in being commissioned in the future for this job do PM me! I'll add you to a contact list so I can remember to message you when it's time. c:


Thank you so much for your time!​
 
Not sure if you've considered using something like Lorekeeper: https://github.com/corowne/lorekeeper

It has a lot of the basic features you'd like plus is free and open source to use. You'd have to pay for hosting a website, but that'd be cheaper than paying for custom coding.

Never used it myself, but heard good things about it.

Thank you so much for your reply! I've heard about the Lorekeeper a few times and looked into it before however it doesn't quite match what I'm going for and have already designed/have programed, I do love some of their features though. I know custom coding can be pricey but I'd much rather pay that and have a custom code that matches my goals and vision. c: Plus I can ask the coder questions about how it works to better understand it, looking at Lorekeeper code by myself messes with my brain. <:' D

I can also PM a link to my WIP site to show what I have done so far or give permission to an email for a coder to see how I hooked up the site by given an role through Wix.

Update: I was able to code my user Pack search area myself thanks to a YouTube video but I do have a slight issue with that coding where the throttle is messing with the on.click search button. If the button is clicked without the throttle it works (it also works without the button with the throttle) but if it has both the throttle will overwrite the onclick where it has to be clicked multiple times for it to work, it acts like the throttle resets it each time. I'm happy enough with the current code for the user Pack search area where I just collapsed the button until I can figure out how to fix it.
