Shopify web design FAQs
Got questions about our Shopify site design services? Scan our FAQs to find your answers
What is Shopify and how does it help my business grow?
Shopify is a fully hosted eCommerce platform that makes it easy to sell online and scale as you grow. It lets you manage products, orders, payments, and content from one simple dashboard. Updates, security, and hosting are handled for you, so there’s less technical overhead. This makes Shopify a reliable, low-stress platform for growing Australian eCommerce brands.
What is the difference between Shopify and Shopify Plus?
Shopify Plus is designed for higher-volume and more complex eCommerce operations. It offers advanced features like custom checkout logic, automation tools, B2B functionality, and greater API access. Standard Shopify suits most small to mid-sized brands, while Plus is a better fit for enterprise-level or rapidly scaling stores. We help you choose the option that matches your current needs and future growth.
Is Shopify a good choice for established Australian eCommerce brands?
Yes, Shopify is well suited to established Australian eCommerce businesses. It’s reliable, scalable, and easy for internal teams to manage day to day. Shopify integrates smoothly with key tools for payments, shipping, accounting, and marketplaces. This balance of flexibility and simplicity makes it ideal for brands focused on growth and efficiency.
Do you design custom Shopify websites or use templates?
We design custom Shopify websites tailored to your brand, products, and customers. While Shopify themes provide a starting point, we customise layouts, functionality, and user experience to suit your business goals. This ensures your store looks professional, performs well, and supports conversions. The result is a site that feels considered, not generic.
How do you approach mobile optimisation for Shopify stores?
Your Shopify store will be designed mobile-first, not adapted later. We focus on clear layouts, fast load times, and easy navigation on smaller screens. Images, content, and interactions are optimised for touch and scrolling. This creates a smoother buying experience for mobile customers, who make up a large share of online traffic.
How do you handle SEO when building a Shopify website?
Your site is built with a clean, SEO-friendly structure from the start. We follow best-practice coding standards, logical page hierarchy, and fast-loading design. This creates a strong technical foundation for search visibility. Ongoing SEO and content optimisation can then build on that foundation over time.
What is your process for a Shopify website design project?
Projects follow a clear, structured process from discovery through to launch. We start by understanding your goals, products, and customers. Design and development focus on usability, performance, and clarity. Before launch, we test thoroughly to ensure everything works smoothly across devices.
How do you manage Shopify web design projects?
Each project is led by a dedicated project manager. You’ll receive clear timelines, regular updates, and straightforward communication throughout. This keeps decisions simple and avoids surprises. The process is designed to stay efficient, organised, and aligned with your business priorities.
Can you migrate my store from WordPress, Magento, or another platform to Shopify?
Yes, Shopify migrations are a core part of what we do. We safely migrate products, customers, and order history while preserving SEO where possible. Technical tasks like redirects and data validation are handled carefully. This ensures a smooth transition with minimal disruption to your business.
Do you provide training once the Shopify site is live?
Yes, you’ll receive clear training on how to manage your Shopify store. This includes updating products, content, and basic settings with confidence. The goal is to make your team comfortable running the site day to day. You’re not left guessing after launch.
What support do you offer after launch?
You receive 30 days of free post-launch support once your Shopify site goes live. This covers bug fixes, small adjustments, and guidance as you settle into managing the site. After the initial 30 days, you can opt into an ongoing support retainer for continued improvements, updates, and technical support. This gives you flexibility to choose the level of help you need as your store grows.
How long does a Shopify store design typically take?
Most Shopify website projects take around 6–10 weeks from kickoff to launch. The exact timeline depends on scope, integrations, and how ready your content and products are. You’ll receive a clear project plan and milestones upfront so everything stays predictable. This structure helps keep the build efficient without rushing important decisions.
