Ecommerce Website Design Melbourne: Online Stores Set Up for Australian Customers
Quick answer
Ecommerce website design in Melbourne costs from $2,499 with us, for a Shopify or WooCommerce store set up with Australian payments (cards, Afterpay, PayPal, Apple Pay), GST and shipping rules. Larger catalogues, custom features and migrations are quoted in writing before work starts.
Shopify or WooCommerce?
Shopify suits most new stores: hosting, security and checkout are handled for you, and staff can run it without a developer. You pay a monthly plan plus apps. WooCommerce runs on WordPress, suits businesses that already have a content-heavy WordPress site, and avoids Shopify's transaction fees if you use another gateway, but you are responsible for hosting and updates.
We build on both and will recommend one in writing with the running costs laid out, rather than defaulting to whatever we prefer.
What every store we design includes
- Product, collection and cart pages designed around how your customers shop on a phone.
- Australian payments: cards, Afterpay, PayPal, Apple Pay and Google Pay, with GST set up correctly on invoices.
- Shipping rules for Australia Post, Sendle or flat-rate zones, plus click-and-collect if you have a shopfront.
- Product data structured for Google Shopping and Merchant Center, with product schema on every page.
- SEO-friendly category structure and redirects if you are moving from another platform.
- Analytics with purchase tracking, so you can see which products and channels actually make money.
Migrating an existing store
Moving from Wix, Squarespace, Neto (now Maropost) or an old WooCommerce install is mostly about protecting what already works: product URLs that rank, customer accounts, order history and reviews. We map every URL, move the data, redirect old links and check Search Console after launch so your sales do not dip while Google catches up.
Stores we have built
Our Shopify work so far has mostly been for overseas direct-to-consumer brands: Holy Gels (UK, gel nail wraps), Luxy Hair (US, hair extensions), Birchbury (US, barefoot leather shoes) and Neofollics (Netherlands, hair growth products). We have not yet published a Melbourne store we can name here, so we would rather show you these and a Melbourne team you can meet in Broadmeadows than invent one.
“Professional, creative, responsive and easy to communicate with — the website design, branding and graphic materials were all done to a very high standard.”
