eCommerce website developers.
Stores built to sell.

An eCommerce website developer builds the online store itself: the product catalogue, the shopping cart and checkout, the payment gateways, the shipping and tax rules, and the way the whole store is organised so shoppers and search engines can find products. At DIGITALON that also means the design, the keyword and category research before it, and an hour of training on your own store after it, all from one Sunshine Coast team.

Every DIGITALON eCommerce package is a fixed, one-off price that includes the design, the WooCommerce build, every plugin licence, the stock images, security and backups, so nothing is invoiced later. Click View price on any package above to see the current prices for Basic, Standard and Premium. A store with custom integrations or a very large catalogue is quoted on scope.

There is no monthly platform fee: WooCommerce is free, so your only ongoing costs are hosting and, if you want it, maintenance.

WordPress and WooCommerce, only. It is reliable, it is fully customisable, and it means you can maintain the store yourself instead of paying somebody every time a price changes.

See how we work with WooCommerce.

Both can run a good store. The difference is who owns it. Shopify is rented: a monthly platform fee, a percentage of every sale unless you use its own payment system, and a store that lives on their platform. WooCommerce is open source and free, it runs on your own hosting under your own login, and it takes no commission — your payment provider’s fee is the only deduction.

It also lives inside WordPress, so the shop and the articles that bring people to it are one website. For an Australian business that plans to grow, we recommend WooCommerce, and it is the only platform we build on.

No. WooCommerce itself is free and takes no percentage of your sales. The only transaction fee is your payment provider’s — Stripe, PayPal, Afterpay or your bank — and that is between you and them. Some optional WooCommerce extensions carry an annual licence; every licence your package needs is included in the price.

Two to three weeks to the basic version of your store. Extra features or integrations add to that, and we tell you how much at the scoping stage rather than partway through.

Yes. We rebuild existing stores on WooCommerce whether they started on Shopify, Wix, Squarespace or an older WordPress build. Products, categories, customers and order history come across, the web addresses that already rank are kept or redirected, and the old store stays live until the new one has been tested. You keep what the old store earned in Google.

Yes. Stripe and PayPal are set up in every package, so Visa, Mastercard and American Express work from day one. Google Pay, Apple Pay and Afterpay come with Premium.

We will recommend the combination that suits your customers and your margins — every provider charges differently, and the cheapest is not always the one people will use.

Flat-rate and free-shipping rules are in every package. Standard adds advanced rules by weight, location and cart value, and Premium adds a live shipping cost calculator and order tracking. As an add-on we connect Australia Post, Sendle and the major couriers, so live rates and tracking numbers come straight from the carrier. Tell us how you ship and we set the store up that way.

Yes. WooCommerce connects to Xero and MYOB for invoicing and reconciliation, to Mailchimp and Klaviyo for email marketing, and to HubSpot and other CRMs, so orders flow through without re-typing. Premium includes your CRM integration; other integrations are scoped and quoted before we start.

The store is built to be found. Every product and category page gets a real title, a description and structured product data — price, availability, reviews — that Google, Google Shopping and AI search engines such as ChatGPT, Gemini and Google’s AI Overviews read directly. Pages are server-rendered, fast and organised the way shoppers search, because the keyword and category research happens before the design.

No one can guarantee a citation, but this is what those engines draw their answers from. Our ongoing SEO services carry the work on after launch.

It loads fast, it can be searched, and it is obvious to use. Product photos that appear immediately, secure payment, product pages written with search in mind, and real customer reviews.

None of that is decoration. Each one is a reason somebody finishes the order instead of closing the tab.

Yes. WooCommerce runs stores with tens of thousands of products; the limit is the hosting rather than the platform. Our managed hosting is sized for your catalogue and your traffic, and the Cloudflare CDN and scalable cloud hosting features above are there for a Black Friday spike or a national campaign.

Yes. WooCommerce sells physical products, downloads, subscriptions and memberships, bookings and appointments, gift cards and online courses, and a wholesale or B2B area with trade pricing and account approval can sit alongside the retail store. Tell us what you sell and we build the store around it.

Yes. DIGITALON is based at Wurtulla on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, and we design and develop eCommerce websites for businesses in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and across Australia, from the one in-house team. The design reviews, the test orders and the training all happen online, so where you are does not change how the store gets built.

The same as any software: regular updates and checks. You always get an administrator login so you can do it yourself.

If you would rather not, our maintenance packages and managed hosting plans cover updates, backups, security and support.

Whichever way suits you.

• Yourself. You get the admin login, an hour of one-to-one training and a platform with more tutorials written about it than any other.
• Ask us. Tell us what you want changed and we handle it under a website support plan.
