Ecommerce development for online stores that sell

We build online stores that load fast, make checkout easy and connect to the systems you run your business on. Our ecommerce development work covers Shopify, WooCommerce and custom builds, so we recommend the platform that suits you, not the one we happen to prefer.

What is ecommerce development?

Ecommerce development is designing and building online stores: product pages, cart, checkout, payments and the back office that manages orders, stock and customers. It also covers connecting the store to accounting, inventory, shipping and marketing tools.

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers to the questions we hear most.

Ask your own →
Which ecommerce platform should I use?
Shopify suits most retailers who want low maintenance. WooCommerce suits businesses already on WordPress or wanting more control. A custom build suits unusual products or rules. We'll recommend one once we understand your business.
How much does ecommerce development cost?
It depends on your requirements: the platform, number of products, design, integrations and custom features. After a free discovery call you get an itemised proposal.
Can you migrate my existing store?
Yes. We move products, customers and order history, and set up redirects so you keep your search rankings.
Will my store work well on phones?
Yes. We design mobile-first, because many shoppers browse and buy on their phones.
Can you connect the store to Xero or MYOB?
Yes. Orders, payments and stock can sync automatically with your accounting and inventory systems.
Do you help with search rankings for my store?
Yes. Every store we build has clean URLs, product schema, fast loading and proper redirects. For ongoing growth, our SEO team can help.
