Why Sydney small businesses choose Shopify
Shopify runs a large share of Australia's small online stores for a simple reason: it removes the technical jobs that used to sink e-commerce projects. Hosting, security, SSL, payment compliance and app updates are handled by Shopify, so a Sydney retailer with no developer on staff can run a store that behaves like a much bigger one. Our job is the part Shopify can't do for you: a design that fits your brand, a product experience that sells, and the Australian set-up details that templates get wrong.
Custom Shopify design, not a stock theme
Free Shopify themes are fine for a first weekend, but they look like every other store and are rarely tuned for conversion. We design your homepage, collection and product pages around how your customers actually shop, then build them as a clean, fast Shopify theme you can keep editing yourself. When a premium theme is the right base we'll say so and customise it properly, which usually costs less than pretending everything must be bespoke.
Set up properly for Australia
The details that trip up overseas-built stores are the ones that lose Australian customers: GST shown correctly at checkout, Afterpay where your buyers expect it, Australia Post rates that don't undercharge you on regional shipping, and local pickup for shoppers who'd rather collect in Marrickville or Parramatta than pay postage. Every store we build has these configured and tested with real orders before launch.
Migrating to Shopify from Wix, Squarespace or WooCommerce
If you've outgrown a builder store, we move products, customers and orders across, keep your URLs working with redirects so Google rankings carry over, and run both stores in parallel until the new one is proven. Our Wix and Squarespace vs custom website guide explains when a move is worth it and when it isn't.
Shopify web design pricing in Sydney
Our Shopify stores start at $5,500 as a fixed quote, which covers design, build, product set-up, payments, shipping and handover. Bigger catalogues, custom features and migrations are quoted on top, always before work starts. See the full web design packages or the broader e-commerce web design page if you're weighing up WooCommerce too.
