Quick answer
Should I use Shopify or a custom ecommerce website?
For most small retailers, Shopify is the right choice. It handles payments, stock, shipping and security, and staff can learn it in an afternoon. A custom or headless build makes sense when you need unusual product logic, very high speed at scale, or deep integrations with systems you already run.
Shopify, WooCommerce or custom?
We recommend the platform that fits how you run your business, not the one that's most profitable for us to build:
Shopify
Our default for most stores. Reliable, secure and easy to manage, with a huge app ecosystem and built-in Australian payment options.
WooCommerce
Sensible if you're already on WordPress and want to keep your content there. Needs more care with speed and updates.
Headless or custom
A fast custom front end on top of Shopify or another back end. For brands that need speed at scale or unusual features.
A shop on your website
Selling a few products or gift vouchers? A simple add-on can be enough, with no separate store to manage.
Product and category SEO
Most stores use the manufacturer's product descriptions, so Google sees the same text on dozens of sites and has no reason to rank yours. We help you write original descriptions for your best sellers and turn category pages into proper landing pages, with an intro, buying advice and FAQs.
We also add product schema (price, availability and reviews), handle product variants so they don't create duplicate pages, and set up Google Merchant Center so your products can appear in Google's free shopping listings.
Want to know what this would look like for your business?
Speed and a painless checkout
Every extra second of load time costs sales, especially on phones. We keep stores lean: compressed images, only the apps you need and a theme built for speed.
At checkout, fewer steps mean fewer abandoned carts. We set up the payment options Australians expect (cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal and buy-now-pay-later options such as Afterpay if you want them), clear shipping costs with Australia Post or your courier, and GST handled correctly.
Selling locally in Melbourne
If you have a shop or studio, your website can bring people through the door as well as the checkout. We set up click and collect, local delivery zones and stock visibility, and connect your store to your Google Business Profile so nearby shoppers can see what you have before they visit.
What an online store costs.
Our fee is fixed. Platform fees (such as Shopify's monthly plan and payment processing) are paid directly to the platform, so check their current Australian pricing when you compare quotes.
| What you need | Typical price (ex GST) | What drives the cost |
|---|---|---|
| Shopify store | Custom quote | Custom theme design, product and category setup, payments, shipping and product SEO. |
| Store migration | Custom quote | Moving from WooCommerce, Wix or another platform, with products, customers and redirects. |
| Simple shop on your website | from $1,499 | A small catalogue or gift vouchers added to a Grow website. |
| Ongoing store SEO | from $499/month | Category content, product descriptions and technical fixes, month to month. |
Guide prices only. You get a fixed quote after a free call, and it only changes if the scope does. See all packages and pricing.

Questions, answered.
Something we haven't covered? Just ask.
Most Shopify stores take five to eight weeks, depending on the number of products and how ready your photos and descriptions are. Migrations from another platform take a little longer because of redirect mapping and data checks.
Yes. We migrate products, customers and order history where the platforms allow it, and redirect every old product and category URL so you keep your rankings.
We set up the structure, categories and your first products, and can import larger catalogues from a spreadsheet. We'll also show your team how to add and edit products.
Yes. Shopify supports cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal and buy-now-pay-later providers such as Afterpay. We'll set up whichever options suit your customers.
Yes. We connect your store to Google Merchant Center for free shopping listings and to Meta for Instagram and Facebook shopping, all managed from one product catalogue.
You do. The store, the domain, the product data and the customer list are all in your name and your accounts.
