WebGX builds and customises ecommerce stores on Shopify, WooCommerce and Wix themes, product structure, checkout, payments and integrations. We launch new stores and replatform existing ones, on whichever platform suits your product range, budget and growth plans.
Most of the value in an ecommerce build sits in the parts customers never consciously notice. We configure checkout to strip friction out of the moment of payment, set up gateways including Stripe, PayPal, Afterpay, Zip and Apple Pay, build shipping rules for Australian couriers and Australia Post, and configure GST correctly from the start so your invoicing and reporting are right from the first order.
The platform selection is based on your product portfolio, budget and the level of control you’d like to have over hosting and customisation. Let’s take a look at the three and how they compare.
For businesses that already publish content or require a CMS that’s as powerful as their catalogue, WooCommerce transforms WordPress into a complete store. It’s self-hosted, meaning you own it and aren’t tied to a subscription fee, though hosting costs still apply. With the right development support, you can customise it to do pretty much anything you want, though ongoing support is required to keep it running smoothly.
Shopify is a platform built to sell. It comes with hosting, security and checkout built in, and has a huge shipping, subscription and marketing app ecosystem. It is ideal for retailers with growing businesses that do not need to manage servers. The downside is that you’ll have to pay a subscription fee and transaction fees regularly, but for stores looking to expand their product offerings and order volumes, Shopify is the most reliable option.
Suits smaller catalogues and businesses that want to live quickly. Templates are easy to manage in-house once set up, and hosting is included. It is a good fit for a narrow product range without heavy customisation or integration needs. As catalogues grow, some businesses move to Shopify or WooCommerce for more flexibility.
We build Shopify stores from scratch and customise existing themes to fit your business needs. We handle custom sections, app integrations, payments, shipping, and checkout setup, with full testing on real devices before launch.
We create and configure WooCommerce for WordPress stores, whether you are selling a handful of products or a huge product catalogue with product variants. That means selecting and integrating the right plugins, adding custom product fields, and tuning performance so the store stays fast as the catalogue grows. That configuration is the work.
Product and collection pages are built around customer shopping habits, clear images, variants and frictionless calls to action. We design for mobile first, as most of the retail traffic is now mobile.
We provide maintenance for the agreed support period, including security updates, plugin and app compatibility, speed monitoring, and seasonal support. Continued maintenance after this period is available at an additional cost.
Our team is capable of handling one of the most challenging aspects of running an online business, platform migration. We’re experts in WooCommerce to Shopify, Wix to Shopify and legacy or custom-built stores to a modern CMS. We ensure no data is lost during migration, product data, customer records and order history all transfer properly.
01
First, we get to know your business, your product line and your current store’s weaknesses, if any. This stage provides you with a clear scope and platform recommendation instead of a generic pitch.
02
Designed using competitor research, Google’s best practices and our team’s experience. You stay involved through wireframes, design files and revisions, so the final design is signed off before development starts.
03
We build a pixel-perfect website that matches the design they approved, with product pages, checkout, payments, and shipping. Regular progress updates keep you informed throughout the development process.
04
Product data, payments, shipping rules and mobile responsiveness are tested before going live. Your team is trained so that you can confidently manage products from the start.
All e-commerce sites we create come with product schema, which enables search engines and AI tools to comprehend and surface your products accurately, together with structured collection pages and internal linking that assist your customers and search engines in browsing your catalogue. Slow-loading product pages cost you rankings and sales, so speed is built in rather than tuned afterwards.
The cost varies based on the platform, the number of products and other integrations such as payment gateways or booking systems. A small Wix or Shopify store is cheaper than a large WooCommerce store with custom product variants. We quote you a fixed price once we have understood your catalogue and requirements and there are no surprises when we start work.
Shopify is ideal for retailers looking for a hosted and managed platform that requires little technical maintenance and has a vast app marketplace. WooCommerce is ideal for businesses that desire full ownership, are already using WordPress or require more customisation than a hosted platform offers. If you don’t know, share your product range and growth plans with us, and we will suggest the platform that suits you, not the one we think you should use.
