Ecommerce Web Design
for Perth Businesses
Shopify online stores that load fast on phones, are easy to manage, and have payments, shipping and GST set up properly from day one. From $6,000 with a fixed-price quote.
A Store Built to Sell
Every Shopify build covers the essentials a real store needs - not just a homepage and a product grid.
Store design
A clean, brand-matched design built for your products and customers - not a default theme with your logo dropped in.
Products & collections
Your catalogue structured into collections and filters that make sense to customers, with variants such as sizes and colours set up properly.
Payments & checkout
Payment gateway, checkout and order notifications configured and tested with real transactions before launch.
Shipping & GST
Shipping rates, zones and GST set up for Australian customers, so prices and totals are right from the first order.
Mobile-first speed
Optimised images and a minimal app footprint, because most shoppers browse on their phones and slow stores lose sales.
SEO foundations
Product and collection pages with proper titles, descriptions and structure, plus Google Analytics and Search Console connected.
Shopify Theme or Custom Site + Shopify
Every store runs on Shopify for products, checkout and payments. The difference is what your customers see.
Shopify theme store
The whole store runs inside Shopify, built on a carefully chosen and customised theme. The fastest and most cost-effective way to launch.
Best for: businesses where the store is the website, with a standard catalogue and checkout.
Custom-built website + Shopify store
Your main website is custom-built for speed and design freedom, with Shopify powering the store behind it. You keep Shopify's secure checkout and easy product management, without being limited by a theme.
Best for: businesses with a lot of content beyond the shop - services, industries, resources - or a brand that needs to stand out.
Example
One World Uniforms
A custom-built website for a Perth school uniform supplier, with its online store powered by Shopify.
The Honest Case for Shopify
For most Perth businesses selling online, Shopify is the right platform. Here's why - and the trade-offs you should know about before you commit.
Why we recommend it
- Secure, hosted platform - no server to maintain or patch
- Payment processing and card security compliance handled by Shopify
- Easy product, stock and order management, including a mobile app
- Scales from a handful of products to thousands
- Large ecosystem of apps for reviews, subscriptions, bundles and more
What to keep an eye on
- Monthly Shopify plan fees and payment processing fees
- Apps can add monthly costs and slow the store down if overused
- Heavy themes can hurt mobile speed without careful optimisation
- Highly custom workflows may need a custom build instead
If your business needs something Shopify can't do well - complex trade pricing, custom ordering workflows, or deep integration with internal systems - we also build custom ordering systems.
Most Shoppers Are on Their Phones
Mobile shoppers are impatient, and Google ranks sites on how they perform on mobile. The most common reasons Shopify stores slow down are oversized product images, heavy themes, and a pile of apps each loading their own scripts.
We build with speed as a requirement, not an afterthought: images sized properly for phones, only the apps your store genuinely needs, and a performance test on Google PageSpeed before launch.

An online store depends on more than the store itself. Your domain and DNS, business email, order notification delivery, and the security of the accounts that can access your store all matter - and they're exactly the things web agencies tend to leave to you.
Because we're an IT company as well as a web team, we set those up properly too, including MFA on staff accounts and email authentication so your order emails actually reach customers. See our web design services for business websites, landing pages and custom web apps.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does an ecommerce website cost in Perth?
Our Shopify ecommerce websites start from $6,000. The final price depends on the number of products and collections, custom design work, and integrations such as accounting or shipping tools. You get a fixed-price quote after a free discovery call. Shopify's own monthly plan fees are separate and paid directly to Shopify.
Why do you build on Shopify?
Shopify handles the parts of ecommerce that are hardest to get right yourself: secure hosting, payment processing, card security compliance, and platform updates. That means your store stays secure and online without you maintaining a server, and your team can manage products and orders from a simple dashboard or the Shopify app.
Will I own my Shopify store?
Yes. The Shopify account is set up in your business's name, so you own the store, the products, the customer data and the domain. We work in it as your developer, and you can change who has access at any time.
How long does it take to build a Shopify store?
Most ecommerce builds take 4 to 8 weeks from kickoff to launch. The biggest factor is product data: stores launch fastest when product names, descriptions, photos, prices and variants are ready early.
Can I add and update products myself?
Yes. Shopify is designed for store owners to manage day to day. We show you how to add products, update stock, process orders and run discounts before handing over, and we're available for anything more involved.
What ongoing costs should I expect?
Shopify charges a monthly plan fee plus payment processing fees, and some apps add their own monthly subscriptions. We keep the app list lean so those costs, and the impact on speed, stay under control. Ongoing support from us for changes and improvements is optional.
