More Than an Online Shop

Your Website Should Make Buying Feel Easy

A successful eCommerce website needs more than attractive product photos. Customers need to find the right item, understand what they are buying, feel confident about payment and delivery, and complete their purchase without unnecessary friction.

RealWeb brings design, development and SEO considerations together to create an online store that supports both your customers and your day-to-day operations.

Help Customers Find Products

Organise categories, product information and navigation so shoppers can discover relevant products without getting lost in your catalogue.

Build Buying Confidence

Support Long-Term Growth

Build a flexible store with considered SEO foundations, useful reporting and room to expand your product range and marketing activities.

Choose the Right Platform

Frequently Asked Questions

eCommerce Website Design FAQs

Have questions about building an online store? Here are some important considerations before you get started.

What is the difference between Shopify and WooCommerce?

Shopify is a hosted eCommerce platform that combines store management with its managed infrastructure. WooCommerce is an eCommerce solution for WordPress that offers extensive customisation and control over your hosting environment. Shopify may suit businesses seeking a more managed platform, while WooCommerce can suit businesses wanting closer integration with WordPress content and website functionality. The right choice depends on your requirements, budget and preferred management approach.

Can you build an eCommerce website for a small business?

Yes. A small business can start with a focused product range and essential shopping features, then expand as its needs change. The appropriate scope depends on your products, required integrations, payment methods, shipping arrangements and how much content needs to be prepared.

Can my online store accept payments in Australia?

Shopify and WooCommerce can support a range of payment providers and payment methods available to eligible Australian businesses. The options available for your store depend on your platform, provider account, business eligibility and any applicable transaction or service fees.

Can you configure shipping and GST for my store?

Shipping zones, delivery methods and applicable tax settings can be configured as part of an agreed project scope. The correct setup depends on what you sell, where you deliver, your business registration and your tax obligations. You should confirm tax treatment with your accountant or qualified tax adviser.

Will my eCommerce website work on mobile phones?

Mobile responsiveness is an important part of our design approach. Product pages, navigation, images and checkout-related layouts should be tested on smaller screens as well as desktop devices. The final experience also depends on the selected theme, apps, plugins and integrations.

Can you help improve an existing online store?

Yes. Depending on your needs, an existing store may benefit from improved navigation, clearer product information, a more consistent design, performance improvements, SEO refinements or a simplified shopping journey. We can discuss your current platform and priorities before recommending a suitable approach.

Can you migrate my existing store to another platform?

Store migration may include products, categories, product variations, selected content, customer or order records where supported, and URL redirects. The exact scope depends on the source platform, data structure, available export tools and integration requirements. A migration plan should be agreed before work begins to reduce disruption and protect existing search visibility as far as practicable.

How much does an eCommerce website cost?

The cost depends on the number and complexity of products, design requirements, platform, payment and shipping configuration, and any additional integrations. Ongoing expenses may include platform subscriptions, hosting, payment processing, apps, plugins and maintenance. Contact RealWeb to discuss your requirements and receive a project-specific quote.
