Getting it to load fast, rank and sell takes a developer who knows the platform. From custom theme development and new store builds through to migrations, app integrations and ongoing optimisation, I deliver Shopify development built to perform from day one. I'm Aaron Knight, a Sydney-based web designer and developer with over 13 years of experience building and optimising Shopify stores for Australian businesses. I'm a Shopify Partner for store builds and migrations. 01 / Why Shopify ## Why Shopify? Shopify is one of the most widely used ecommerce platforms for product-focused businesses that need a fast, reliable, scalable online store. It handles hosting, security and platform updates automatically, so you can focus on running the business. Shopify is well suited to businesses launching a new store that needs to move quickly, product-focused retailers with straightforward catalogues, and brands that want a hosted solution without managing servers. It's worth being upfront: it isn't the right fit for every business. Content-heavy brands that need deep WordPress integration are often better served by WooCommerce, and businesses with complex catalogues or multi-store requirements may be better suited to Magento. I'll give you an honest recommendation in the first conversation. 02 / Services ## Shopify Development Services From custom themes to ongoing optimisation, every service is built around how your customers shop. 01 ### Custom Shopify Theme Development Off-the-shelf themes are a starting point, not a finished product. I design and build custom Shopify themes tailored to your brand, mobile-first, structured for SEO and built around how your customers shop. My work includes Liquid templating and Shopify APIs, for more complex storefront requirements. 02 ### New Shopify Store Builds I take a store from zero to live, including account setup, domain setup, theme development, product catalogue structure, payment gateway integration, shipping configuration and marketing setup from launch. You receive a fully functional, well-optimised store ready to sell. 03 ### Shopify Store Migrations Moving from WooCommerce, Magento or another platform? I handle the full migration, including products, collections, customer records, order history and SEO redirects, with staged cutovers to minimise downtime. 04 ### App Integration & Automation I integrate the apps and tools your store needs, such as email marketing, loyalty programs, inventory and third-party logistics. When off-the-shelf apps aren't enough, I build a custom integration. 05 ### Speed & Performance Optimisation A slow store loses sales. I audit and optimise existing stores for load speed, including compressing images, removing redundant apps, cleaning up theme code and improving Core Web Vitals. Consolidating apps is often one of the quickest ways to improve speed. 06 ### Shopify SEO Shopify has specific SEO considerations, including canonical URLs, duplicate content from collection and product URL structures, pagination and schema markup. I build SEO-compliant stores from the ground up and audit existing stores to fix the issues holding back rankings. 07 ### Conversion Rate Optimisation I review store structure, product page design, checkout flows and the user experience, then implement changes designed to lift conversions and average order value without a full rebuild. I use Hotjar to see how real shoppers move through a store, so changes are based on behaviour. A standalone CRO audit is $4,999 + GST. [Conversion rate optimisation →](https://aaronknight.com.au/marketing/cro/)08 ### Digital Marketing for Shopify Stores SEO, Google Ads management and email marketing for store owners who want to grow their customer base, built around your store's data. Marketing starts from $1,000 per month. 09 ### Ongoing Support & Maintenance Every project includes 30 days of post-launch support. Ongoing plans cover updates, app management, performance monitoring, issue resolution and seasonal campaign builds. 03 / Process ## How a Shopify Project Works Each stage is agreed before the next one begins.

"Aaron and the team exceeded all of my expectations. Right from the start they delivered an outstanding design and completed the website within the promised timeframe." Danny S, Google review05 / Why custom ## Why Work With Me on Your Shopify Store A developer who stays with the store after launch, not just through it: ### Direct access. You deal with me directly, backed by a small, hands-on team. Strategy, design, development and ongoing support all stay with me as your main point of contact. ### Transparent pricing. Most Shopify projects fall in the $4,000 to $15,000 range depending on scope. You get a clear, itemised quote after an initial conversation, with a fixed price once scope is defined. ### SEO-first approach. URL structure, metadata, schema, page speed and content hierarchy are all considered from the start. ### Post-launch support included. 30 days of post-launch support comes standard. Ongoing plans are available for stores that want active management long term. 06 / AI ## AI Development & Integration AI tools work well on a Shopify store, automating repetitive tasks and improving the shopping experience at scale. ### AI Chatbots & Customer Service A chatbot that answers order status questions, product queries and returns questions around the clock, and recommends products, which reduces manual support work. ### AI-Powered Automation & Workflows Abandoned cart sequences, post-purchase follow-ups, inventory alerts and reorder workflows that connect your store to the rest of your business. ### AI Integration & Consulting Consulting to identify where automation will deliver real value in customer service, marketing, inventory or personalisation. ### A note on foundations AI works best on a fast, well-structured store with clean data and a logical product architecture, which is how I build. 07 / Pricing ## Shopify Project Pricing Most Shopify projects fall in the $4,000 to $15,000 AUD range. A straightforward store with a custom theme and standard catalogue sits at the lower end, and complex integrations, custom app development or large migrations sit higher. Shopify's own subscription fees apply on top. Development work outside a fixed-price build is billed at $120 per hour.

Talk it through with me directly, Monday to Friday, 9 to 5.[Call me on 02 8317 3526 →](tel:+61283173526)How much does a Shopify store cost to build?+ Most projects fall in the $4,000 to $15,000 AUD range. Shopify's own monthly subscription fees apply on top. I'll give you a clear, itemised quote after an initial conversation. How long does it take to build a Shopify store?+ A standard store typically takes four to six weeks from briefing to launch. More complex builds, large catalogues, custom integrations or migrations take longer. The timeline is agreed upfront. Can I manage my Shopify store myself after launch?+ Yes. Shopify's admin is designed to be straightforward for products, content, discounts and orders. I'll walk you through everything at handover. Is Shopify good for SEO?+ Shopify has solid SEO foundations but needs attention on duplicate content from collection and product URLs, canonical tags and some meta elements. I build stores with these addressed from the start and can audit existing stores to fix problems. Should I use Shopify or WooCommerce?+ Shopify suits product-focused stores that want a hosted, low-maintenance solution. WooCommerce suits businesses that need deep content integration, extensive customisation or already have a WordPress site. I'll give you an honest recommendation based on your requirements. Can you migrate my existing store to Shopify?+ Yes. I handle full platform migrations, including products, collections, customer data, order history and SEO redirects, with every old URL mapped to its new one so search visibility carries across. Can you help with my existing Shopify store?+ Yes. Whether you need a performance audit, speed optimisation, SEO fixes, conversion improvements or ongoing development, I work with existing stores as well as new builds.
