Choosing
Which platform should you choose?
Shopify suits you if you want hosting, security, checkout and platform updates handled for you. Apps add features, but their subscriptions recur, and deeper checkout changes are limited to Shopify Plus. It is worth checking which features you need before choosing apps, so you understand what the platform handles and what you will manage separately.
WooCommerce is a fit for a business already using WordPress, particularly if your store sits alongside substantial content or you want control of the code, data and hosting. That control comes with work: someone needs to manage hosting, security, updates and plugin compatibility. Decide who will take that on before committing to the platform.
A custom storefront suits unusual catalogues, product configurators and content-led brands. It takes more build effort, and later changes usually need a developer. Selling into several countries adds choices about currencies, duties, translations and delivery. We recommend a platform after understanding your products and operations, including the changes your team needs to make without help.
Local
What Brisbane businesses need from an online store
Brisbane has strengths in food, among other sectors. A food brand taking orders through social media or messages needs a catalogue, online payment and order tracking, so customers can buy without placing each order in a chat. Product groups and filters help shoppers find what they want; pack sizes need their own stock, price and image where those differ.
The Port of Brisbane handles exports including container freight, sugar, grain and bulk liquids. Wholesalers and distributors serving business customers need an ordering experience that reflects how they sell: customer-specific prices, minimum quantities, quote requests or ordering on account. Agreeing those rules before the build helps establish what the storefront and its admin need to support.
Rules
What an Australian store needs to handle
Your returns and refund wording needs to sit alongside Australian consumer guarantees, which a store policy cannot override. We set up the policy pages using the wording you provide, so customers can read the terms before buying.
Commercial email and text messages need the customer's permission, and unsubscribe requests need to be acted on. We connect your email tool and set up the relevant permission and unsubscribe flows; order messages and marketing messages should have clear purposes in your store setup.
How it runs
How an e-commerce project runs with us
We work remotely over video calls, WhatsApp and shared project boards. India is 4h30m behind Brisbane, so the shared board gives both sides a place to keep decisions and feedback visible across the difference.
- 01
Discover
We learn about your business, audience and goals, then agree the scope with you. Bring the operational questions you want the store to resolve.
- 02
Design
We create product, collection and checkout page designs for desktop and mobile. You review them and give feedback before code is written.
- 03
Load products
We import a small sample first. You check titles, variants, prices and images; once the format is right, the full catalogue goes in.
- 04
Test
You place orders across the payment, delivery, discount and tax cases, and check the resulting stock, emails and admin records.
- 05
Launch and care
We set up the domain, email, analytics and search, then provide ongoing support after the store goes live.
Checklist
What to have ready before we talk
These materials and decisions give the build a useful starting point.
- Product datanames, descriptions, prices, SKUs, variants, stock, categories, weights and package sizes.
- Photosconsistent backgrounds and proportions, several angles and an image for each colour variant; keep the original files.
- Policiesplain-language shipping, returns, refund, privacy and terms wording.
- Trading decisionsconfirm product taxes with your accountant, and decide delivery areas, couriers and charges.
- Accessgather domain, DNS, website, email, analytics and Google logins held in your business's name.
Cost & time
What affects the cost and timeline?
The work depends on the store you need and the material available to build it.
Catalogue complexity
variants, bundles, engraving and products sold by weight or length add configuration work.
Product data
a clean spreadsheet is easier to import than information scattered across an old store, supplier files and photo threads.
Design
adapting a theme involves less work than designing around unusual products or a distinct brand.
Migration
moving customers, order history, reviews and redirects adds scope beyond a product import. Customer passwords usually need a reset email.
Avoid
Mistakes to avoid
Late delivery charges
show delivery and tax estimates on product or cart pages, before shoppers reach the final checkout step.
Sandbox-only testing
place a real low-value order using live payment settings, then refund it to check currency, webhooks and emails.
Too many plugins
review what each app does and remove unused ones; each can add scripts, recurring fees or conflicts.
Heavy product pages
compress images and load review, chat and tracking scripts only where they are needed.
Questions
Asked by businesses in Brisbane
Page updated 5 November 2026
How much does an e-commerce website cost to develop?
There is no fixed price. Custom checkout and pricing rules, and extra markets with their own currencies, languages and tax settings, are major drivers. We send a free quote once the scope is agreed, so it reflects the features and markets your store needs.
Should I choose Shopify, WooCommerce or a custom store?
The choice starts with your products and operations. Shopify is simplest to run, WooCommerce suits a team already on WordPress, and custom development suits unusual catalogues or checkouts. We recommend an option after understanding how you sell and how your team will operate the store.
What is included in an e-commerce build?
A build covers the catalogue, cart, checkout, payment and shipping settings, tax rules, accounts, policy pages and store admin. It also includes order emails. We set up their branding, sender address on your domain and wording to match your policies, including confirmation and dispatch messages.
Will I own the store after launch?
You own your domain, content and code. That means your store is not locked to the team that built it. Keep ownership in your business's hands and make sure the people responsible for the store know where those assets are held.
What support does the store need after launch?
Keep checking performance and retest checkout after app, plugin or theme changes. Compare conversion, average order value, checkout drop-off, repeat purchases and product-page speed with your figures from before launch or migration. Give each staff member a separate login with only the permissions they need.
Can you move my existing store to a new platform?
Yes. We can migrate products, customers and order history where the platforms allow it. Plan the old page addresses as part of the move: permanent redirects should point each old product or category URL to its closest new page, including when a product is dropped.
