Ecommerce web design for Australian small businesses
A useful online store helps Australian customers understand the range, check delivery and returns, and reach checkout without second-guessing the business. SIX9 Design builds custom online stores (not Shopify or WooCommerce themes) and plans the Australian details first: GST-inclusive prices, delivery zones, returns and payment fees.
SIX9 Design is based in Melbourne and works remotely with clients across Australia. We don't claim an office or staff in any other city.

Australian shoppers
What Australian shoppers look for
These are the buying and delivery details that decide whether an Australian customer finishes checkout.
01Total prices, GST included
Australian Consumer Law expects consumer prices shown as a single total that includes GST and any compulsory fees. Plan how prices, discounts and shipping are displayed before the store is built.
02Delivery and returns that are easy to find
Shipping zones (including regional and remote areas), dispatch times, click-and-collect options and your returns process should be visible before checkout, not buried in a footer.
03Consumer guarantees, stated plainly
Australian Consumer Law guarantees apply to what you sell online. Your returns and refunds page should explain them in plain words, not replace them with a "no refunds" line.
04Payment fees known up front
Card processors, buy-now-pay-later services and platforms charge different fees. Compare them before choosing a payment provider so the running costs are clear.
Scope
What we plan and build
Final deliverables depend on the package or the written scope. These are the parts of an Australian store we plan with you before work begins.
Mobile-first storefront structure and navigation
Product, collection and merchandising page patterns
Cart and checkout handoff planning
Shipping, returns and trust-content placement
Search-friendly titles, headings and crawlable links
Analytics and conversion-event handover requirements
A store package fits when
Your catalogue is small to medium and the product data is ready
Shipping is flat-rate, zoned or free over a threshold
You take card payments through one provider
Ask for a custom quote when
You sell hundreds of products or complex variants
Stock must sync with a POS, ERP or warehouse
You need subscriptions, wholesale pricing or a marketplace
You are migrating an existing store with its URLs and customers
Process
Four checkpoints, fully online
We are based in Melbourne and deliver stores online to businesses anywhere in Australia.
01Choose a package or ask for a review
Smaller catalogues fit a fixed store package. Larger catalogues, integrations or migrations start with a free review of your products, fulfilment and customer questions.
02Written scope and total
Products, payments, shipping rules, integrations and the total are confirmed in writing before any work starts.
03Storefront build
Core templates, navigation, product discovery and mobile checkout paths are designed and tested together.
04Launch checks
We review indexing, redirects, analytics, supplied payment and shipping settings and the full customer journey.
After launch
Grow the store without more admin
Once orders arrive, the time goes into follow-up, stock and customer questions. That is where automation and custom software pay back.
Custom online stores come in three fixed-price packages, paid once: Store Launch at A$279 for up to 10 products, Store Growth at A$549 for up to 30 and Store Scale at A$849 for up to 50. Larger catalogues, integrations and migrations get a written custom quote after a free review. Payment processing fees are paid to the payment provider.
Do you build ecommerce websites outside Melbourne?
Yes. SIX9 Design is based in Melbourne and delivers suitable ecommerce projects online for businesses anywhere in Australia.
Can you migrate an existing online store?
Yes, after reviewing the current catalogue, URLs, customer data, platform exports, redirects and integrations. Migration is scoped and quoted separately.
I only sell a few products. Do I need a full store?
Not always. If a handful of products can be shown with an enquiry button or a link to where you already sell, a standard website package may be enough. We will tell you which fits after the review.
Do you build on Shopify or WooCommerce?
No. SIX9 builds custom online stores with their own backend, so there is no theme to buy and no app store to depend on. If you already run a Shopify or WooCommerce store and are happy with it, keeping it may be the better choice.
