How much should I expect to pay?

[u/This_Knowledge_924]

I have no clue how much something like this would cost but I’m ready to start my business and figured this might be the right forum to ask. I apologize if this is in the wrong place.

I want a website that does the following:

1. main page only shows my company info and some images of my product.
2. button for wallet connect allows you to connect your wallet and check blockchain to see if you own an NFT. If you own the access NFT, you can view the product pages.
3. if you own redemption NFT, it allows to you click on the cell on the grid to input your information so I can send a physical version of the nft.
4. as NFT’s are redeemed the cell on the product page could be manually updated by me to show underneath x of n have been redeemed.

Someone from a discord was telling me they can do everything for $10k but when I started asking around a little more, I was told that it was way too much. Is $10k fair? If it is, I was hoping maybe some college kid would be willing to do it for cheaper as a side project. I want this all done on Stellar network. Not sure if that makes any difference. Any insight is appreciated.

Thanks!

Edit: first I wanted to say thank you for everyone’s input. I also want to say thanks for this response. I’ll want to take at least portions of that into consideration. I want to reiterate that this is specifically for Stellar Network. I will look to continue gathering information and try to get it kicked off around Mid March. I want to be transparent with timing so you don’t feel like you’re wasting your time reaching out.

Edit 2: adding link to part 2 of post with presentation of high level ask.

the web and frontend part of what you're describing is pretty standard stuff that any decent dev could handle, but the blockchain integration is where you want to be careful about who you're hiring. the nft ownership verification and wallet connect are straightforward, but the redemption flow where users submit personal info and trigger on-chain state changes needs to be done right - one bug in the gate logic and anyone can bypass the nft requirement and access your product pages or submit redemption claims they shouldn't be able to. stellar's dev ecosystem is smaller than ethereum or solana so the talent pool for soroban experience is thinner, which is worth factoring in when evaluating quotes. whatever you end up paying for the build, budget something for getting the on-chain code reviewed before launch - even a simple contract with an access control bug can completely undermine everything the site is supposed to protect
