Online Store.

What We Build

• A storefront styled to your brand - a custom theme built for your store, or a starter theme styled to fit your brand guidelines.
• A product catalogue you manage - add products, update prices and change images yourself, with full platform training.
• Payment gateway, configured - your preferred gateway set up and tested, so you can take payments securely online.
• Shipping and GST - freight charges and delivery options that match how you ship, with tax configured for selling in New Zealand.
• Found in search - product and category pages structured so search engines can read your range, with the markup that lets prices and availability show in search results.
• Security - a signed SSL certificate so card and customer details are encrypted, with website security at application and server level.

We build on October CMS or WordPress, depending on your project needs. Both are popular open source platforms.

How a Project Runs

1. Brief - you tell us what you sell and how you want to sell it.
2. Design (one to two weeks) - see how your store will look, and give feedback before we build.
3. Build (four to six weeks) - your online store is built, configured and tested.
4. Launch - we deploy it on the eCommerce Hosting plan and show you how to use everything.

What It Costs

An online store starts at $7,595 +gst. Price depends on the project scope - store features, the number of products you want us to load, and any integrations you require.

Hosting is separate, from $95 +gst per month on the eCommerce Hosting plan, which puts your store on its own dedicated VPS server.

Who Owns Your Store, and How It Runs

You own the store, your products, your customers and your order history. It runs on open source software, so if you move it elsewhere, everything goes with you.

You can manage the website and product catalogue yourself, or we can handle this for you.

Work We've Done

• The Alpine Centre - two businesses merged into one store carrying over a thousand products, with the catalogue importing from the shop's POS system every night. We also completed a design refresh three years later.
• Powertools Tauranga - a store for a newly purchased business, selling power tools alongside their repair and servicing work, with online and in-store stock kept in sync.
• Seahorse Electric Kontikis - an ageing store replaced with a faster one, adding shipping, payment and marketing integrations, and a portal for wholesale customers.
