WooCommerce Development

WooCommerce stores,
built to convert

WooCommerce turns your WordPress site into a powerful online store, with the flexibility to do things your way and no platform locking you in. We design and build it custom, end to end.

What we do

Custom WooCommerce stores, built into WordPress

We take your store from idea to launch: a custom design, WooCommerce set up and configured properly, products loaded, payments connected, and everything tested before you open the doors.

WooCommerce sits right inside WordPress, so your shop and your website are one and the same: one place to log in, one team behind it, and a store you genuinely own rather than rent. We design and build the whole thing around your products, not a stock theme thousands of other shops are running.

Why WooCommerce

Why we build on WooCommerce

WooCommerce is the ecommerce plugin for WordPress, and it powers a huge share of the world’s online stores. For businesses that want flexibility, control and genuine ownership, it is hard to beat.

It lives inside your own site.

WooCommerce is not a separate platform bolted on the side. It runs right inside your WordPress site, so your shop and the rest of your website are one and the same thing, with one place to log in and one team behind all of it.

That makes the whole thing simpler to run. Editing a product works the same as editing a page, your content and your catalogue live together, and there is no jumping between disconnected systems to keep everything in sync.

It is genuinely yours.

WooCommerce is open source and free to use, with an enormous community behind it and no licence fee just to have a store. You are not renting space on someone else’s platform that can change the rules, raise the price, or shut you out.

You own your store, your content and your customer data outright. If you ever want to move it, take it elsewhere or do something unusual with it, you can. That ownership is the whole point, and it is rarer in ecommerce than it should be.

No platform tax on your sales.

WooCommerce itself does not take a slice of every order you make. Some ecommerce platforms charge a percentage of every sale on top of your payment fees, and as your volume grows that quietly turns into a meaningful cost.

With WooCommerce the only transaction fees you pay are the usual ones from your chosen payment provider, like Stripe or PayPal, which you would pay on any platform. What you sell is yours, minus the standard cost of taking a payment, and nothing more.

As flexible as you need, and it grows.

If you can picture it, it can usually be built. WooCommerce bends to your business rather than forcing your business to fit it, with thousands of extensions for almost anything and the option to build custom where nothing off-the-shelf fits.

It scales just as happily from a handful of products to a large, busy catalogue. You start with what you need now and add to it over time, so the store grows with you instead of being something you outgrow and replace.

One team, the whole store

Your whole store, handled in one place

Because WooCommerce is part of WordPress, we can look after the lot. We design and build your store, then host it, keep it secure and tune it for speed, all under one roof.

One team across the whole store means nothing falls through the cracks between a designer, a developer and a host who have never spoken. And if a different platform would suit you better, we will say so honestly.

Just need something simpler?

For a straightforward, standard store, a fully hosted, all-in-one platform like Shopify is often the simpler path. We build both and recommend the right fit, never push one.

Switching to WooCommerce

Outgrown another platform, or want more control? We move your store across carefully, bringing your products and customers with you.

Hosted and looked after

Keep your store fast, secure and online with managed hosting, care plans and speed optimisation.

Questions, answered

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

Because it gives you flexibility, control and ownership. WooCommerce is the ecommerce plugin for WordPress, so your store lives inside your own site. It is open source, endlessly customisable, takes no cut of your sales, and is truly yours, with no platform able to lock you in.

It mostly comes down to how complex your store needs to be. For a straightforward, standard online store, Shopify is often the simpler path: all-in-one, hosted and quick to launch. WooCommerce is where we head for the more complex, custom builds, the ones that need bespoke features, deeper control and full ownership. We build both, and we will point you to the right fit rather than push one.

We design and build a custom store around your brand and products. A stock theme is quicker, but it makes you look like every other shop and limits what you can do. A custom build stands out and is far easier to grow with.

Yes. We handle the whole thing: the design and build, WooCommerce installed and configured, 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.

The ones your customers expect. We can set up Stripe, PayPal, Afterpay and Australian payment gateways like eWay, so people can check out the way they prefer. WooCommerce integrates with most major providers.

Yes. WooCommerce has a huge ecosystem of extensions, and we set up the ones that suit your store. When something needs to go beyond an off-the-shelf plugin, we can build custom functionality, since WooCommerce is fully open and extendable.

Yes. If you have outgrown another platform or want more control, we can move your store across to WooCommerce carefully, bringing your products and customers with you and keeping disruption to a minimum.

Speed and security are built in from the start. We optimise the store for performance and set up sensible security before launch. Because it runs on WordPress, we can also host it on fast servers and keep it protected and updated with a care plan.

We can. We offer fast, fully managed WordPress hosting on Sydney-based servers, which is a great home for a WooCommerce store. You are welcome to host elsewhere too. See our managed hosting.

It varies with the size of the catalogue and the features you need, but most stores take somewhere around six to twelve weeks. We give you a realistic timeline up front and let you know what we need from you, and when, to keep it moving.

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

Let's build your store.

Tell us what you want to sell and we will talk it through: the right platform, how we would approach the build, and what it would take. No pressure, no jargon, just a straight conversation.
