WooCommerce Websites That Fit Your Business (Not the Other Way Around)

WooCommerce gives you full ownership and flexibility – and we configure it properly from day one.

Your WooCommerce website can include:

Most importantly, your site is easy to update, so you can add products, change prices and manage orders without relying on a developer.

Why Choose WooCommerce Over Shopify

WooCommerce offers greater control, customisation, and cost-effectiveness, making it an ideal choice for businesses looking to scale with more flexibility and lower ongoing costs. Here are some reasons why to choose WooCommerce:

WooCommerce is a free plugin for WordPress, meaning you only pay for hosting and any premium features. Shopify charges a monthly subscription starting at $39/month and adds transaction fees unless you use Shopify Payments.

WooCommerce offers complete flexibility with full access to its code, allowing you to fully customise your store. Shopify has some customisation options but is more limited unless you hire a developer.

With WooCommerce, you own your site and data. Shopify is a hosted platform, meaning you have less control over your store and are tied to Shopify’s infrastructure.

WooCommerce can easily scale with your business. You’re not limited by product numbers or site features, unlike Shopify’s tiered pricing structure.

WooCommerce, built on WordPress, offers superior SEO tools and easier content management (blogs, guides, etc.), helping you drive organic traffic.

Aside from hosting, WooCommerce doesn’t charge monthly fees, while Shopify requires ongoing subscriptions that increase with your sales.

WooCommerce supports complex product types, subscriptions, and integrations, offering more flexibility as your business grows.

If you have coding skills, WooCommerce allows for deep customisation and bespoke features, while Shopify may require third-party apps for advanced functionality.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had the pleasure of working with Christom on developing my website and I could not be happier with the results. From start to finish, he was professional, responsive and truly attentive to my needs. He took the time to understand my vision and brought it to life with a modern,clean and user-friendly design. The site not only looks great but also runs smoothly. Christom went above and beyond with communication keeping me updated at every step and explaining technical details in a way that was easy to understand. What really stood out was his problem solving ability and eye for detail - nothing was too much trouble and he always found creative solutions. I’ve already received so many compliments on my new site and it has helped boost my online presence. If you are looking for a skilled, reliable and dedicated website developer, I highly recommend Christom Web Design.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I worked with Chris at Christom  Web Design to upgrade the website for our student journalism platform at my university. The process was easy and working with Chris was a really pleasant and collaborative affair. He checked in with all questions of design and finish the work easily within the deadline. It was a really good experience. He also responded quickly to any questions or issues I’ve had since the upgrade.

Frequently Asked Questions

What platform do you use for eCommerce websites?

We primarily build eCommerce websites using WooCommerce on WordPress. It gives you full ownership of your website, flexibility to grow, and no ongoing platform lock-in.

Can I manage products and orders myself?

Yes. Your WooCommerce website is built so you can easily add products, update prices, manage stock and process orders without technical knowledge. We also provide training so you feel confident running your store day-to-day.

Is WooCommerce suitable for small businesses?

Absolutely. WooCommerce works just as well for small product ranges as it does for large, complex stores. You can start simple and scale later – adding features only when your business needs them.

Can you integrate payment gateways like Afterpay and Stripe?

Yes. We regularly integrate Stripe, PayPal, Afterpay, Zip and other Australian payment gateways, ensuring checkout is secure, fast and easy for your customers.

Will my eCommerce website be mobile-friendly?

Yes. All WooCommerce websites we build are fully responsive, meaning they’re designed to work smoothly across phones, tablets and desktops.

Do you include SEO for product pages?

Your eCommerce website is built with SEO foundations included, such as clean URLs, structured headings, optimised product pages and fast performance. This helps your products rank better on Google from day one.

Can you rebuild or improve an existing WooCommerce site?

Yes. If your current store is outdated, slow or difficult to manage, we can redesign and rebuild your existing WooCommerce website – improving usability, performance and conversions while keeping your products and data where possible.

How long does an eCommerce website take to build?

Most WooCommerce eCommerce websites take 6–8 weeks, depending on the size of the store, number of products and required integrations. We’ll give you a clear timeline before starting.

Do you offer ongoing support after launch?

Yes. Ongoing support is optional and flexible. We can help with updates, security, performance improvements and small changes as your store grows – without locking you into complicated contracts.

Is WooCommerce better than Shopify?

It depends on your business. WooCommerce is ideal if you want full ownership, SEO control and long-term flexibility. We’re happy to talk through the pros and cons of WooCommerce vs Shopify and recommend the best option for your goals.
