Lucky for you (and 1,000,000+ other merchants around the world) there’s Shopify and Shopify Plus.

Shopify is a hosted e-commerce platform that empowers retailers large and small with their easy-to-manage, customisable store and secure checkout.

Shopify gives you control over your store's look and feel and allows you to add products, track sales, run marketing campaigns and so much more. It's hassle-free e-commerce, letting you focus on growing your business.

Are you fed up with a slow eCommerce website that crashes when your traffic surges? Perhaps you'd like to automate more tasks, freeing up your time to focus on strategy and building a bigger, scalable brand. Upgrade to Shopify Plus to benefit from:

  • Flexible and faster launch
  • Custom automation with apps like Shopify Flow, Launchpad, and Scripts.
  • Personalise your checkout with custom discounts, shipping rates, and product recommendations.
  • Unlimited extensibility, integrations, and customisation through Shopify apps and partners.

  • 1. Project Planning

    To kick off, we get together with your team to confirm objectives, set timeframes, collate all the information we need and define the key steps in the Shopify development process from start to finish. That way, everyone knows what’s needed and what to expect from day one.

  • 2. User Experience Design

    Next up, we research, select and tailor the ideal Shopify theme that meets the requirements of your branding, products, functionality and long-term vision. We’ll provide a recommendation and rationale for the theme design as well as any refinements needed to make sure it’s a great fit.

  • 3. Ecommerce Setup

    To build the engine room of your store, we configure the ecommerce essentials including shipping information, point of sale, product data feeds, social media integrations, marketing apps and payment gateways like Google Pay, Apple Pay, PayPal, Amazon Pay, Afterpay, Zip and Laybuy.

  • 4. Shopify Development

    Unifying the design and functional elements, our expert Shopify developers look after everything from product pages, blogs, navigation and branding to notifications, Facebook/Instagram Shopping, Instagram feeds, tracking codes, and integrations like newsletters and more.

  • 5. Train, Test & Launch

    While Shopify is very easy to use, before we handover the keys we’ll train you on how to manage your website content, inventory and orders, and provide instructional videos on key functions. Finally, we’ll fully test the site functionality and, once everyone is happy, we’re ready to go live!

  • 6. Responsive Support

    Beyond building your website, what sets us apart is our passion for partnering with clients to help them successfully build and grow ecommerce businesses. From basic tech support through to performance reviews, new features and site optimisation, we’re here for ongoing development, help and guidance.
