Should I use Shopify or a custom store?

Shopify suits most retail and service businesses that want a hosted, secure store with less maintenance. For deeper control and full ownership, a custom build on our Velocity X framework is the better long-term play. If you're on WooCommerce or another WordPress store today, we'll migrate you off it to whichever of those fits — we don't take on new WordPress builds.

Can you migrate my existing store to Shopify?

Yes. We migrate products, content and customers to Shopify and map 301 redirects so your search rankings carry over. The goal is zero downtime and no lost traffic during the switch.

How much does a Shopify website cost?

Custom Shopify projects are quoted on scope — catalogue size, custom features and integrations. Our buy-once Velocity X packages start at $4,995 AUD; e-commerce builds are scoped after a quick discovery call on the Gold Coast or online.

Will my Shopify store be fast?

Yes. We optimise theme code, compress media and lazy-load below-the-fold content so your store hits strong Core Web Vitals — which Google rewards with better rankings and shoppers reward with more completed checkouts.

E-commerce that sells

Shopify stores built to convert.

Custom Shopify and WooCommerce design from a Gold Coast studio — fast, on-brand storefronts engineered around the checkout, not just the look. Fewer abandoned carts, more completed orders.

Custom, not a stock theme

A Shopify store that looks like your brand

A template makes you look like every other store. We design your Shopify storefront around your products, brand and buying journey — custom sections, fast media and a checkout path engineered to reduce friction. The result is a store customers trust and actually finish buying from.

Any platform to Shopify

Migrate without losing your rankings

Outgrown WooCommerce or Wix? We migrate your catalogue, content and SEO to Shopify without losing traffic — redirects mapped, metadata preserved, zero downtime. You keep the rankings you have earned and gain a platform built to scale.

Designed around the checkout

Stop leaking revenue at the cart

Most stores lose customers at the cart. We optimise product pages, trust signals and the checkout flow so more visitors complete the purchase — abandoned-cart recovery, fast image loading and one-thumb mobile UX. It is the same thinking behind our conversion optimisation work.

E-commerce conversion funnel — product page to checkout optimised to reduce cart abandonment.

Ranks for what you sell

SEO wired in from launch

A beautiful store is invisible if no one finds it. We wire product and collection SEO in from launch — structured data, fast Core Web Vitals and clean URLs — so you rank for what you sell and lean less on paid ads. See our approach to SEO optimisation.
