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.

  1. Total 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.
  2. Delivery 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.
  3. Consumer 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.
  4. Payment 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.

  1. Choose 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.
  2. Written scope and total
    Products, payments, shipping rules, integrations and the total are confirmed in writing before any work starts.
  3. Storefront build
    Core templates, navigation, product discovery and mobile checkout paths are designed and tested together.
  4. Launch checks
    We review indexing, redirects, analytics, supplied payment and shipping settings and the full customer journey.

How much does an ecommerce website cost?

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.
