Shopify Web Design Perth from a Shopify Plus Certified Team
We’re a WA-owned agency and we’ve been building Shopify stores for Perth businesses for a good while now. Some of those clients had two products. Some had a couple of thousand. If you’ve got something to sell and don’t fancy spending your weekends inside a theme editor, get in touch and we’ll take it from there.
Shopify Stores Built Properly, Here in Perth
Most people who ring us have already half decided on Shopify. Good call, in our opinion. It hosts itself, the checkout is the same one that handles billions of dollars a year, and you never have to think about a security update at two in the morning. What Shopify doesn’t do is make the store look like yours or set up GST and Australia. Post rates the right way. That’s the part we do.
We’ve been offering Shopify web design in Perth long enough to know where new store owners get stuck. Usually it’s product variants, or shipping rules, or a theme that looked lovely in the demo and fell apart the moment real product photos went in. We sort all of that out before you see the store, so what you get handed is something that already works.
Why Perth Retailers Come to Us for Shopify
Shopify Plus Certified
Our developers hold Shopify Plus certification. That matters more than it sounds. Plenty of people can install a theme. But when you want a bundle discount that Shopify doesn’t offer on its own, or a product page that shows delivery dates by postcode, you need someone who can actually write the code instead of bolting on yet another app and hoping.
Perth Shops, Perth Shipping
A fair few of our clients had a shop in Perth first and went online second. So we’ve dealt with the practical stuff. Stock that has to match between the till and the website. Click and collect from a Perth address. Shipping rates that don’t frighten off a customer in Sydney. Perth to the east coast is a long way and the postage shows it, and we’ve learnt how to present that so people still buy.
We'll Tell You What It Costs to Run
Shopify has a monthly plan fee. Some apps charge monthly as well, and those add up quickly if nobody’s watching. Before we build anything we’ll go through what the store will cost you each month, and we’ll talk you out of apps you don’t need. Fewer apps also means a faster store, which customers notice even if they couldn’t tell you why.
What's Included in Our Shopify Web Design
Shopify Store Setup
We set up the Shopify account on the plan that suits you (most Perth small businesses don't need the top tier), connect your domain, and sort out taxes, currency and the legal pages Shopify asks for. Then we load the products. Titles, variants, photos, collections, the lot. Done properly, this is tedious. Done badly, it haunts you for years. So we're careful with it.
Theme Customisation
We don't design from a blank page and we won't pretend to. A good Shopify theme gets you most of the way. We change the colours, fonts, homepage sections, product page and cart until it looks like your brand rather than the theme demo. If the theme can't do something you need, we write the Liquid code for it ourselves, in a way that doesn't get wiped out the next time the theme updates.
Payments and Shipping for Australia
Shopify Payments, PayPal, Afterpay and Zip, all connected and tested with real transactions. GST gets set up so prices show tax-inclusive and the reports make sense to your accountant. For shipping we set up Australia Post live rates or flat rates by zone, whichever protects your margins better, plus local pickup if you've got a shop. Most abandoned carts come from a shipping surprise at the checkout, so we spend real time on this.
Migrating to Shopify
Coming across from WordPress website design, Magento or Wix? We've done plenty of these. Products, customers and order history all get exported and rebuilt in Shopify, and every old URL gets redirected so you don't lose the Google rankings you've spent years earning. Still weighing it up? Have a read of our pages on WooCommerce on WordPress and Magento web design. There are cases where we'd tell you to stay where you are.
E-commerce SEO Perth
Shopify's SEO is fine as a starting point, and that's about all it is. Left alone, every product ends up with a duplicate URL under each collection, the page titles are just the product names, and the images are enormous. We fix that as part of the build. Unique titles and descriptions for collections and products, product schema so Google shows your price and stock in the results, and compressed images. If you want to keep pushing after launch, our E-Commerce SEO Perth service runs month to month.
Shopify Apps and Training
There are thousands of apps in the Shopify App Store. You need about four. Reviews, email, shipping labels, maybe a bundle app depending on what you sell. We install the ones that earn their keep and skip the rest. Then we sit down with you and show you how to add products, fulfil orders and set up a sale, so you're not ringing us every time you want to change a price.
Five stages, roughly in this order, with a bit of back and forth in the middle.
- 1. Discovery
We meet up, or jump on a call if that’s easier, and talk through what you sell, how orders go out the door and who’s buying. That conversation decides the plan, the theme and the apps.
- Products and variants
- How you ship and fulfil orders
- Payment methods you want (Afterpay, Zip, PayPal)
- A look at competitor stores
- 2. Store Design
We pick a theme that suits the size of your catalogue and mock up the homepage plus a collection page and a product page. You see those before we build anything, and you tell us what’s off.
- Theme picked and agreed
- Homepage and product page mockups
- Phone layout worked out first
- Your colours and fonts in place
- 3. Build and Setup
This is the long stage. Theme customisation, products loaded, payments and shipping connected, apps installed. You get a preview link and can poke around while we work.
- Theme changes and any Liquid code
- Products and collections loaded
- Payments, GST and shipping set up
- Apps installed and configured
- 4. Test Orders
We buy things from your store. Real test orders through every payment method, refunds included, and we check the shipping rates for Perth, regional WA and the east coast. Then we go through the whole thing again on a phone.
- Test orders and refunds
- Shipping rates checked by zone
- Checkout on phone and tablet
- Speed and image sizes
- 5. Launch and Training
The domain goes across, Analytics and Search Console get connected, sitemap submitted. Then training, in person if you’re in Perth.
- Domain and SSL live
- Google Analytics and Search Console
- One-on-one training
- Video tutorials for your staff
Shopify Web Design FAQs
The timeline for a Shopify website depends on its complexity and your specific requirements. For Perth businesses, we typically deliver:
- Basic Shopify stores: 2-3 weeks
- Custom-designed stores: 4-6 weeks
- Complex e-commerce solutions: 6-8 weeks
We work efficiently while ensuring quality, and we’ll provide you with a specific timeline based on your project scope during our initial consultation.
Technically yes, Shopify is a website builder, and you can open a basic store on your own in an afternoon. What we hear from people who’ve tried is that the afternoon turned into a month and the store still looked like the theme demo. If you’ve been searching for a website builder in Perth, that’s usually the point where an agency starts making sense. We do the setup and design, you run the store afterwards. And if you’re not even sure Shopify is right for you, our website design and development in Perth page goes through the other options without a sales pitch.
Shopify Payments covers Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Apple Pay and Google Pay. On top of that we usually connect:
- Afterpay and Zip
- PayPal
- Bank deposit, handy for trade and wholesale customers
- Shop Pay, which remembers returning customers’ details
GST is set up so displayed prices include tax and the reports line up when BAS time comes around.
Yes, and we’ve done a lot of them. WooCommerce is the most common, then Magento, then Wix. Here’s what’s involved:
- Export products, customers and past orders
- Rebuild the design, or adapt it to a Shopify theme
- Redirect every old URL so your rankings carry across
- Test the whole thing before the domain moves
Your current store keeps trading right up until the switch, so you don’t lose a day of sales.
Yes to both. Once the store’s live we do a one-on-one training session, at your place in Perth or at our office, covering products, orders, discounts and small theme changes. You also get short videos recorded on your own store rather than generic Shopify tutorials, so they match what you actually see when you log in. After that we’re a phone call away, and a good number of clients keep us on for monthly e-commerce SEO.
Why Choose Super Cheap Digital for Shopify?
We Work With Small Retailers
Our typical Shopify client is a Perth business with one shop, or someone running the whole thing from a spare room. Not a national brand with a marketing department. We keep the build affordable and set things up so the store can grow when you add products or start shipping interstate.
You See It as It's Built
From week one you get a private preview link. Have a look whenever you like, send us a message if something’s off. Much easier to fix it then than after launch. No jargon in our updates either, just what we did this week and what’s next.
Built for Orders
A pretty store that doesn’t sell is an expensive hobby. We put most of our effort into the product page and the checkout, because that’s where the money changes hands. After launch we keep an eye on the numbers with you and tweak whatever needs tweaking.
