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.

Common questions
Yes. We build WooCommerce stores for fashion, food, homewares, fitness and product businesses of every kind across Melbourne — and Australia-wide by phone, email and video. Over 600 websites built, more than 1,000 businesses supported.
A one-page launch site is $1,699 + GST — perfect for validating a product before the full build.
Most stores land between $2,490 and $3,490 + GST depending on catalogue size, payments and shipping complexity. Larger catalogues and custom functionality are scoped from $7,500. The price is fixed before work starts.
A launch page goes live in a week. A full store typically takes two to four weeks from the day we have your products, photos and shipping details.
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; paid and social can carry the launch while organic grows.
Completely. WooCommerce runs on your own WordPress — you own the store, the domain, the content and every customer record. No platform rent, no lock-in.
Yes — that’s the point. We hand over a store you run: add products, change prices, process orders, run sales. We include training, and care plans from $32.95/month cover the technical upkeep.
Shopify is a fine platform — 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 fits your numbers.
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.
Yes. Care plans from $32.95/month cover WordPress and WooCommerce updates, security, daily backups, uptime monitoring and small content changes — critical when the site takes money.
