Shopify Development

Shopify stores,
built to sell

We design and build custom Shopify stores that look the part and make selling effortless. From setup to launch, on a platform that handles the hard parts for you.

What we do

Custom Shopify stores, since 2008

We take your store from idea to launch: a custom design, the store set up and configured properly, products loaded, payments connected, and everything tested before you open the doors. We have been building on Shopify since 2008, so we know the platform inside out.

Custom store design

We start with a solid Shopify theme and fully customise it around your brand and products, so your store suits you rather than looking like every other shop.

Custom development

Need something Shopify does not do out of the box? We build custom features and extend it through its app tools.

Store setup

We handle the whole setup, from creating the account to configuring shipping, taxes and settings the right way.

Products and catalogue

We get your products in: photos, descriptions, variants, collections and stock, ready to browse and buy.

Payments

We connect the payment options your customers expect, including Australian gateways, PayPal and buy-now-pay-later.

Apps and integrations

We set up the apps and integrations your store needs, and connect it to the tools you already run your business with.

Mobile responsive

Built mobile-first, so browsing and checking out feels effortless on a phone, where most shopping now happens.

Search-friendly

We set your store up to be found, with clean structure and the SEO basics handled so your products can rank.

Why Shopify

Why we build on Shopify

Shopify is a hosted, all-in-one ecommerce platform. It takes the heavy lifting of running a store off your plate, so you can put your energy into selling rather than maintaining software.

All-in-one and hosted.

Hosting, security, software updates and the shopping cart are all handled by Shopify, as part of the platform. There is no separate server to rent, nothing to keep patched, and no technical maintenance landing on your desk.

For a lot of businesses that is exactly what they want: the store side simply works, quietly, in the background. You log in, manage your products and orders, and leave the plumbing to someone else.

Secure and reliable.

Shopify handles payment security and the technical side of taking money safely, which is one less serious thing for you to worry about. It is built to stay online and keep transacting through the busy periods that matter most.

That reliability is a big part of what you are paying for. When a sale or a campaign sends a rush of traffic your way, the store needs to hold up, and Shopify is built precisely for that moment.

Built for selling.

A polished, high-converting checkout, inventory, orders, discounts, analytics and marketing tools all come built in. These are the things that actually move the needle on an online store, and they are there from day one rather than bolted on later.

It means the store is working hard for you straight away. You are not assembling an ecommerce system from parts, you are starting with a proven one and shaping it to your business.

Room to grow.

Shopify scales just as happily from a handful of products to a large, busy catalogue with serious order volume. The same platform that suits you at launch keeps up as you get bigger, so you are not facing a rebuild the moment things take off.

And when you need to do more, there is a vast app ecosystem for almost anything, plus custom development through Shopify’s own tools for the parts that need to be exactly yours.

How we work

From idea to open for business

A clear path from the first conversation to your first order, whether you are starting from scratch or moving an existing store across.

01

We plan.

We get to know your products, your customers and how you want to sell, then map out the store before any build begins.

02

We design.

We design a custom store around your brand and your range, built to make browsing easy and checking out effortless.

03

We build.

We set up Shopify properly, load your products, connect payments and shipping, and add the apps and custom features you need.

04

We launch.

We test the whole store end to end, take it live, and walk you through running it, then stay on hand from there.

The right fit

Set up properly, and here after launch

We do the whole thing: the account, the custom design and build, products, payments and a full test before you open. Then we walk you through running it, so you are confident managing the store yourself.

We are still here after launch for tweaks, new features and the odd question as you grow. And if Shopify is not quite the right fit, we will say so honestly, because we build for WordPress too.

Need a more custom build?

For more complex, custom ecommerce that needs bespoke features and full control, we build WooCommerce stores instead, designed from scratch. We help you pick the right fit.

Sell just about anything

Physical products, services and bookings, or digital downloads delivered automatically after purchase. If you can sell it, there is usually a way to do it.

Switching to Shopify

Already selling elsewhere? We move your store across carefully, bringing your products and customers with you and keeping disruption to a minimum.

Questions, answered

The things businesses usually ask us about building a Shopify store.

Because it handles the hard parts of running a store for you. Hosting, security, updates and a polished checkout are all built in, so you can focus on selling rather than maintaining software. It is a reliable, all-in-one platform that scales as you grow.

It mostly comes down to how complex your store needs to be. For a straightforward, standard online store, Shopify is usually the easier path: all-in-one, hosted and quick to launch. For the more complex, custom builds, the ones that need bespoke features and deeper control, we tend to recommend WooCommerce instead, designed from scratch. We build both, and we will point you to the right fit rather than push one.

A bit of both, in the best way. We start with a solid Shopify theme as the foundation, then fully customise it around your brand, your products and your specific requirements. That way you get the reliability and speed of Shopify’s proven framework, shaped into a store that looks and works like your business rather than an off-the-shelf shop.

Yes. We handle the whole thing: the account, the design and build, shipping and tax settings, products and payments, and a full test before launch. We then walk you through managing it so you are confident running it yourself.

Just about anything. Physical products are the obvious one, but you can also sell services, classes and bookings, or digital downloads that are delivered automatically after purchase. If you can sell it, there is usually a way to do it on Shopify.

The ones your customers expect. We can set up Australian payment gateways, PayPal, and buy-now-pay-later options like Afterpay, so people can check out the way they prefer.

Yes. There is a huge app ecosystem for adding features, and we set up the ones that suit your store. When something needs to go beyond an off-the-shelf app, we can build custom functionality through Shopify’s developer tools.

Yes. If you are selling on another platform, we can move you across to Shopify carefully, bringing your products and customers with you and keeping disruption to a minimum.

Absolutely. Opening day is the start, not the finish. We are here for tweaks, new features, the odd question and help as your store grows. Just get in touch when you need a hand.

We are a Sydney team, but we build Shopify stores for businesses right across Australia. You do not need to be local to work with us.
