    Custom Online Store Design — Not Another Shopify Theme

    Most online store design in Australia is just a recoloured Shopify theme with a $39/month bill and a 2% transaction fee on every sale. We do the opposite — every store is hand-coded for your products, your brand and your margin. No platform tax, no plugin updates breaking checkout at 11pm on Friday.

    Stripe handles the payments (1.7% + 30¢, the lowest mainstream rate in Australia). We handle everything else: product pages, cart, checkout, order emails, inventory, shipping rules and tax. Your customers get a fast, beautiful store. You keep more of every sale.

    Real online store design and small business websites we've designed, built and shipped — fast turnaround, custom code, conversion-focused.

    Why Aussie Retailers Choose Custom-Coded Online Stores

    We've been building ecommerce sites for Australian retailers for over 10 years — long enough to see clients escape five-figure Shopify bills, plugin nightmares on WooCommerce, and Wix stores that simply couldn't scale. Every custom store we ship is engineered to outlast the next platform trend.

    More importantly, custom code lets your store do what off-the-shelf platforms can't: custom checkout flows for your business model, real conversion-rate tuning, and integrations with your actual ops (Xero, MailerLite, Klaviyo, AusPost, your warehouse) — not just whatever plugins happen to exist.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How much does a custom online store cost in Australia?

    Fixed-price from $799 for a small store (up to 20 products), $1,499 for a 50–150 product catalogue, and custom quotes for larger inventories. All include Stripe checkout, mobile-first design, SEO setup and one year of hosting.

    Why not just use Shopify?

    Shopify takes $39/month plus up to 2% of every sale (on top of card fees). On $5k/month in sales that's $1,400+/year going to Shopify before you even start. A custom store costs less long-term and you actually own it.

    Can you migrate my existing Shopify or Woo store?

    Yes. Most of our store builds are migrations off Shopify, WooCommerce or Wix. We bring your products, customer data, SEO URLs and 301 redirects across so you don't lose Google rankings or repeat customers.

    How do payments work?

    We integrate Stripe by default — 1.7% + 30¢ per transaction in Australia, supports Apple Pay, Google Pay, all major cards. We can also add PayPal, Afterpay or Zip if you need them.

    Can the store grow with me?

    Yes. The custom codebase scales from 10 products to 10,000 without changing platforms. Add wholesale pricing, subscriptions, multi-currency or B2B logins later without a rebuild.

    How long does an online store build take?

    Most small stores launch in 3–4 weeks once we have product info and brand assets. Larger catalogues take 5–8 weeks. We turn it around ASAP with a staging review before launch.
