WooCommerce Stores Built to Sell
We build custom WooCommerce stores for Australian businesses, whether it is your first online shop or a rebuild of a store that has outgrown its platform. Fixed-price quotes, up to 50 products included as standard and a back end your team can run without us.
What You Get with a VisualWeb Store
Partner with a 100% Australian team that handles the design, build, hosting and ongoing support of your store.
Built on WooCommerce
Your store runs on WordPress and WooCommerce. Open source, no platform fees and no lock-in and you own the store and the data.
Easy to Manage
A back end your team can actually use. Add, edit and remove products, run sales and check orders without calling us.
Secure Checkout
Secure checkout and payments, free SSL and Australian hosting, so pages load fast for local shoppers.
Custom eCommerce Web Design
Every store is designed around what you actually sell. We set up your categories, product templates, shipping and payment options, then build the design around them rather than dropping your products into a stock theme.
Social accounts, review widgets and marketing tools are integrated at build time, so your store, your socials and your email list all point at the same thing.
Mobile-Ready and Search-Ready
Most shoppers will reach your store on a phone, so every build is responsive from the start. Customers can browse products, search, add to cart and check out on mobile through a secure payment portal.
Your store is handed over with a search-ready structure: clean URLs, proper heading hierarchy, product schema and Australian hosting available, so your products can be found.
What an online store actually needs
Most small stores fail on the same handful of basics. Here’s what we build in from the start.
A checkout that doesn’t leak sales
Guest checkout, clear shipping costs upfront and as few fields as possible. Every extra step at checkout is an abandoned cart.
Product pages built to rank and convert
Real descriptions, not supplier copy-paste — plus clean photos, sizing info and reviews. Written for Google and the buyer at once.
Payments people actually use
Cards, PayPal, Apple Pay and Afterpay — set up properly, with SSL and Australian hosting behind them.
Shipping set up right
Flat rate, free-over-threshold, click-and-collect — configured correctly from day one, because shipping surprises kill carts.
Fast on a phone, where carts live
Most orders start on mobile. A slow product page costs sales by the hour. We build light and host in Australia.
You own the store, no platform rent
WooCommerce on your own WordPress — no monthly platform fee scaling with your sales, no lock-in and every customer record is yours.

Frequently Asked Questions
Feeling inquisitive? Have a read through some of our FAQs or contact our supporters for help
How much does a WooCommerce store cost?
Stores start at $4,990 + GST. That covers a custom design, WooCommerce setup, up to 50 products, secure checkout and a back end your team can manage. Larger catalogues and custom features are quoted at a fixed price once we know the scope.
How long does it take to build?
The period depends on your requirements including number of pages and revisions. Usually, the design process goes up to 1 weeks then development goes for the next 3 weeks.
Will my store work on mobile?
Absolutely! We use responsive design for compatibility of all devices.
Do I own my store?
Yes, after building you have 100% ownership rights. You have the liberty to change hosting service and anything on your website because it is yours.
What is included as standard?
Custom design, WooCommerce setup, up to 50 products, secure checkout, free SSL, a mobile-responsive build and a search-ready structure. Anything beyond that is quoted before work begins.
Can you rebuild a store I already have?
Yes. We redesign and rebuild existing stores that have outgrown their current design or platform and can take over hosting and support once the new store is live.
Who will I be dealing with?
The Melbourne team who design and build your store. No offshore handovers and no ticket queues and the same people look after you before, during and after launch.
Do you host eCommerce websites?
Yes. VisualWeb offers hosting for eCommerce website’s which is both reliable and secure.
Our servers are also hosted locally which will mean fast loading time, however it will depend on the size and and amount of products in the website
Can you update a store built by someone else?
Yes, we can.
We will need access to your website and/or hosting.
Which platform will you use?
WordPress with WooCommerce. It is open source, so there are no platform fees and no lock-in and you keep full ownership of the store and its data.
Can my store handle more than 50 products?
Yes. 50 products are included as standard and larger catalogues are quoted by arrangement.
Do I have to be local to work with you?
No, we work with clients all over Australia and we can be contacted by Phone, Skype, Email or in person.
Do you have WordPress maintenance packages?
Yes we do. Click here to learn more about our WordPress Maintenance packages.
How do I pay?
A 50% deposit is required before work begins, with the remaining 50% payable when the store is complete and ready to go live.
What if I don't have product photos?
A lightbox, a phone and an afternoon get most catalogues photographed. We’ll show you the setup, or point you to a product photographer if the range justifies it.
Will my store show up on Google?
Every store ships with SEO in place: product and category pages built to rank, schema markup for rich results and fast load times. Product searches build over 30 to 90 days depending on competition, and paid or social can carry the launch while organic grows.
Can I manage products and orders myself?
Yes, that’s the point. We hand over a store you run: add products, change prices, process orders and run sales. Training is included, and care plans from $32.95/month cover the technical upkeep.
Should I use Shopify instead?
Shopify is a fine platform, but you rent it monthly, forever, with transaction fees on top. WooCommerce costs more upfront and nothing to the platform after that, and you own everything. We’ll talk you through which one fits your numbers.
Build a Powerful Email List with Your eCommerce Store
Speed Optimised eCommerce Web Design
Every store ships with contact and signup forms so you can build an email list from day one and announce new stock, sales and limited runs to people who have already shown interest.
Page speed matters for both shoppers and search engines. Stores are built on Australian hosting available with caching and image optimisation, so pages load quickly for local customers.
Recent WooCommerce Stores
A look at recent WooCommerce stores we have designed, built and now host for Australian businesses.
