I am trying to find the following information online but I haven't been able to since most Fashion Aggregators seem to develop their websites in-house.

I would really appreciate if someone could guide us on what we should be looking for in a developers' team in order to built a Fashion Aggregator like ShopStyle or Net-A-Porter on a smaller scale considering that it refers to a smaller market than US or UK.

More specifically:

- What technologies, programming languages etc. should the team be skilled at,
- How many developers should be involved for something like shopstyle or net-a-porter on a smaller scale,
- How much time would it take for the initial development to take place,
- Any cost estimation would really help as well,
- Does the service usually run on in-house infrastructure or is it hosted by third parties,
- What is the standard practice for developing such a service, i.e. is it usually developed in-house or by a third party,
- What are the risks of outsourcing the development,
- Do you know of any UK or other European development firm that is able to provide this service.

Thank you very much in advance.
