Shopify and e-commerce

Shopify and E-commerce Websites

An online shop has to do more than list products. Customers need to find what they want quickly, trust you with their payment details and get through checkout without friction, and you need a back end you can run without calling a developer.

We build online shops on WooCommerce and Shopify, and we pick the platform that suits how you sell. Our shops sell everything from paint products and seafood to market stall bookings and published books.

01.

Product Shops

White & Wicker‘s shop sells furniture restoration paint, bookable workshops and gift cards, and Enspire Furniture needed a system to get a large range of stock listed and organised by category.

02.

Click and Collect

Richmond Oysters sells fresh seafood online, with customers choosing a time to pick up their order. It suits any business with perishable or made-to-order products.

03.

Bookings and Payments

On Dusk‘s stallholders log in, book and pay for their market pitch, with payments and receipts handled automatically. Ballina Yoga sells classes online and manages its timetable in-house.

04.

Better Checkout

For Festoon Publishing we redesigned the shop to make titles easier to browse and removed friction from checkout, so more visits end in a completed purchase.

05.

Custom Ordering

Not every business fits a standard shop. Wheelie Hot Wood has a custom sign-up and ordering system, with sales data sent to a secure spreadsheet so the owners never need to log in.

06.

Pricing

E-commerce websites start from $4,500 + GST. The final price depends on the number of products, payment and shipping options, and any custom features.

Areas we cover

We work with businesses across the Northern Rivers and around Australia. See our e-commerce work in Byron Bay, or browse every area we cover.

WooCommerce or Shopify?

WooCommerce runs inside WordPress, so your shop and website are one system you own, with no platform fees on top of payment processing. It suits shops that also need content, bookings or custom features.

Shopify is a hosted platform with a monthly subscription. It suits product-led shops that want an all-in-one system and lots of ready-made apps. We will recommend one based on your products, budget and how you want to run the shop.

Online shop questions

E-commerce websites start from $4,500 + GST. Large catalogues, custom ordering, bookings or integrations with other systems add to that, and we quote once we know what you sell and how.

Neither wins outright. Shopify is simpler if you mainly sell physical products and want everything hosted for you, but the subscription and app fees add up. WooCommerce gives you more control and no platform fees, which suits shops that also sell bookings, workshops or custom orders. We pick based on your products, not our preference.

Yes. We set the shop up so you can add products, change prices and manage orders yourself, and we train you at handover. You also get a written guide and 30 days of support after launch for the questions that come up once real orders start.

Usually, yes. We can move products, categories and customers to a new shop and set up redirects so your search rankings carry across rather than starting again. Old product links keep working for customers who saved them, too.

Yes. White & Wicker sells workshops alongside its paint range, On Dusk takes bookings and payments for market pitches, and Ballina Yoga sells classes online. One checkout for everything is simpler for customers and for your bookkeeping.

Yes. Richmond Oysters customers choose a pickup time for their seafood, which suits perishable, bulky or made-to-order products and local buyers who would rather skip postage. Pickup can sit alongside standard shipping options at checkout.

Every shop we build gets SEO foundations: product and category titles, descriptions and local content, plus Google Analytics, Search Console and Bing setup. If you are up against national retailers, ongoing SEO from $750 a month + GST builds the category pages and content that compete.

Yes, our photographers are in-house. Clear, consistent product photos do more for sales than almost any design change. We shot product images for Byron Baby Carrier and RustyEx, and shoots start from $495 for a 2-hour shoot + GST.
