Who this is for
When express is the right call
You’re launching and the quotes said three months
A new brand doesn’t need a six-figure build to start selling. It needs a clean store, working payments and a fast launch.
You sell on marketplaces and want your own store
Etsy, eBay or Amazon got you started, but the fees and the rules aren’t yours. Your own Shopify store is - and your listings come across with it.
The DIY build never got finished
You started a store on a free trial months ago. It’s 70% done and 0% live. We finish it - or rebuild it properly in less time than another attempt.
Your shop needs to be online, not just on the street
Retailers with real products and real customers shouldn’t be invisible online. Express gets the shelf onto the web quickly.
The build
What's included
Everything a store needs to trade - set up by people who have launched hundreds of them, not left as homework.
- Theme
Theme setup & branding
A quality theme chosen for your catalogue and customised to your brand - logo, colours, type and layout, without the template look.
- Products
Products & collections
Your catalogue imported and organised - variants, options, imagery and collections structured so customers can actually find things.
- Money
Payments, shipping & GST
Shopify Payments, PayPal and Afterpay configured, shipping zones and rates set, and Australian GST handled correctly from day one.
- Pages
Core pages & policies
Home, about, contact and FAQ pages written and built, plus the privacy, returns and terms pages Australian stores need.
- Track
Analytics & email
GA4 and Meta pixel installed, transactional emails branded, and an abandoned-cart flow switched on before your first visitor.
- Launch
Test orders & go-live
Real end-to-end test orders - purchase, refund, shipping notification - then domain connected and the store opened.
- Handover
Walkthrough & support
A recorded walkthrough of running your store - orders, stock, discounts - and we stay reachable after launch.
Why express works
Fast doesn't mean cut corners
Most of a Shopify build is decisions, not code - and after twenty years of ecommerce we’ve made these decisions hundreds of times. AI handles the repetitive setup work; experienced people make the calls that matter.
What takes months at a big agency is mostly meetings. We skip the theatre and build the store.
-
A senior team, not juniors learning on your store
The people configuring your payments and shipping have done it for hundreds of stores across every platform.
-
AI for the repetitive parts, people for the judgement calls
Product imports, page scaffolding and copy drafts move at AI speed. Pricing, structure and UX decisions stay human.
-
A store you fully own
Standard Shopify, a standard theme, your accounts. No proprietary page builder, no agency dependency, no ransom at handover.

Fair questions
Before you ask
How can it be that fast?
Because almost everything in a standard store build is a decision we’ve already made hundreds of times - theme structure, payment setup, shipping logic, tax settings. AI tooling speeds up the repetitive work like product imports and page scaffolding, and a senior developer makes the judgement calls. What takes months elsewhere is usually meetings, not building.
What do you need from me?
Your brand assets (logo, any colours or fonts), product information - a spreadsheet or export is perfect - product photos, and about an hour of your time for decisions. If you’re missing pieces, tell us on the scope call and we’ll work around it.
Is the design custom?
Express builds use a quality Shopify theme customised to your brand, which is the right trade-off for speed and budget - and modern themes are excellent. If you want a fully custom design or bespoke functionality, that’s a full build; we quote both and tell you honestly which one your business needs.
What are the ongoing costs?
Shopify’s subscription (from about A$56/month), payment processing fees, and any paid apps you choose to add - we keep the app stack minimal by design. Hosting is included in Shopify. Our involvement after launch is up to you: ad-hoc support or a small monthly arrangement.
Can you migrate my existing store from Woo, Wix or Squarespace?
Yes. Products, customers and - where the platform allows export - order history come across. Redirects are set up so your existing Google presence follows you to the new store.
What happens when I outgrow the express setup?
Nothing bad - it’s standard Shopify, so the store scales with you. When you need custom features, subscriptions, B2B pricing or an ERP connection, we build on top of what you already have. Express is a starting line, not a dead end.
