The buying journey is longer, the decision is more considered, and the information a customer needs before converting is more specific. A Perth skincare brand may need ingredient education and editorial content to sit alongside its product catalogue. A wine producer may need direct-to-consumer sales, a separate trade pathway, and regional credibility signals. A wholesale supplier may need account-based pricing and purchase-order workflows. A technical product business may need specifications, documents, and comparison content before the checkout is relevant. A custom e-commerce build reflects those realities. Catalogue structure, content depth, customer groups, ordering flows, and checkout pathways are planned around how different buyer types actually make decisions. This is what makes the buying process clearer, the brand more credible, and the store a system teams can actually grow with. The trade-off is build time and upfront cost. A custom Craft Commerce build takes longer and costs more than a Shopify template store. For businesses with complex catalogues, wholesale requirements, or content-heavy buying journeys, that investment is in fit and longevity rather than speed. [ Web Design Service ](https://remedystudio.com.au/services/web-design-perth) **What a remedy ecommerce solution delivers** **A store that carries out the business properly, not only the transaction** A custom e-commerce website serves buyers before the checkout, not only at checkout. For specialist retail, wholesale, and B2B, the value lies in matching the store to how each buyer type researches, compares, and decides, so the platform earns trust and captures intent rather than simply processing orders after trust has already been established elsewhere. 01 ### A store that makes the product easier to trust Specialist products benefit from more than just a price and a checkout button. Customers may want sourcing details, photography, use cases, technical specifications, editorial content, or brand context before making a purchase. When that content lives in a separate blog or a different system, it works against the purchase decision rather than supporting it. Your organisation presents products and content in a single system built on Craft Commerce. Customers understand value before comparing on price alone, which gives the brand a stronger chance of being chosen for the right reasons. ![REMEDYNOV2537 }}](https://remedystudio.com.au/assets/uploads/images/RemedyPhotos2025/REMEDYNOV2537.jpg) ![REMEDYNOV2537](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhwgEBAPAAAP///yZFySH5BAEAAAEALAAAAADCAQEAAAIThI+py+0Po5y02ouz3rz7D4ZTAQA7) 02 ### A clearer path from interest to order Retail, wholesale, trade, and procurement buyers each need different information before acting. A retail customer browsing on a phone needs something different from a procurement lead reviewing specifications on a laptop, or a trade buyer placing a reorder from a tablet. Your store is planned around those decision paths, so each buyer type finds the right product, sees the information relevant to their decision, and completes the next step with confidence rather than navigating a flow built for someone else. ![Heiniger 1 }}](https://remedystudio.com.au/assets/uploads/images/heiniger-1.jpg) ![Heiniger 1](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhwgEBAPAAAP///yZFySH5BAEAAAEALAAAAADCAQEAAAIThI+py+0Po5y02ouz3rz7D4ZTAQA7) 03 ### A store ready for where the business is going Product ranges expand. Wholesale tiers change. New categories launch. Subscriptions come online. B2B ordering grows more complex. A store that was structured for the catalogue at launch needs to flex as the business develops, without requiring a full rebuild every few years. A custom Craft Commerce build structures the catalogue for planned growth. New product types, customer groups, and integrations slot in without destabilising the existing store, keeping the platform in step with the business. ![REMEDYNOV2534 }}](https://remedystudio.com.au/assets/uploads/images/RemedyPhotos2025/REMEDYNOV2534.jpg) ![REMEDYNOV2534](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhwgEBAPAAAP///yZFySH5BAEAAAEALAAAAADCAQEAAAIThI+py+0Po5y02ouz3rz7D4ZTAQA7) 04 ### An e-commerce asset the business owns Your organisation owns the codebase, customer data, order history, product content, and platform direction. When pricing changes on a third-party platform, when an integration is removed from an app ecosystem, or when the business needs to move faster than a closed platform allows, ownership means those decisions start from a position of control rather than constraint. Your organisation runs the system powering its revenue, so future development is on your terms. ![Eh }}](https://remedystudio.com.au/assets/uploads/images/eh.png) ![Eh](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhwgEBAPAAAP///yZFySH5BAEAAAEALAAAAADCAQEAAAIThI+py+0Po5y02ouz3rz7D4ZTAQA7) **BUILT INTO YOUR ecommerce website** **The foundations that make the store** **easier to trust, manage and grow** Every Remedy e-commerce build includes planning, structure, design, build, training, and support so the store works well for staff and customers from day one and continues to improve as the business grows. These are not optional add-ons, they are what separates a store that performs from one that needs to be revisited six months after launch. ### Strategy and customer journey mapping A signed plan for how retail, wholesale, trade or B2B buyers move through the store, so the team knows what the website needs to achieve before a single page is built ### Custom ecommerce build A store shaped around the business’s products, customers, and ordering workflow, so the platform supports how the business actually sells ### Catalogue and content modelling Product structures that support variants, specifications, sourcing detail, editorial content, and technical information, so the catalogue stays organised as it grows ### Mobile-first responsive design A store that serves customers browsing on phones, trade buyers ordering from tablets, and procurement leads reviewing on laptops ### Payment gateway integration Checkout that supports the way customers expect to pay, with Stripe, eWAY, Westpac, PayPal, and Afterpay supported ### WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility A store that meets a stronger public standard from launch, so more customers can use it and the business can show access has been considered properly ### CMS and store training Practical knowledge inside the team, so staff can manage products, content, orders, and customers without depending on a developer for everyday changes ### Hosting, care and ongoing support A steady team behind the store after launch, with updates, monitoring, patches, and future improvements handled by people who understand the build [ Find out more about our website hosting ](https://remedystudio.com.au/services/hosting) **how it works** **How does a Remedy e-commerce project work from start to launch?** A Remedy e-commerce project runs in five stages from strategy through to ongoing support. Decisions are made early, with the team’s sign-off before build begins, so the launched store reflects how the business actually sells rather than how it was interpreted. 01 ### Strategy and customer journey Your business gets the sitemap, buyer journeys, catalogue structure, integration requirements, and SEO architecture agreed before design starts. Retail, wholesale, trade, and B2B flows are mapped, so the build fits how you sell. 02 ### Catalogue and content modelling Your business gets the agreed structure for products, categories, variants, content, and custom fields confirmed before building. Sample products are loaded to test whether the structure supports the real catalogue, including edge cases. 03 ### Design and build Your business gets a site designed for the brand, the buyer, and the model. Remedy supports content load with a batch-and-review process, so the store is reviewed with real products and real buyer paths before launch. 04 ### Migration, payment integration and launch Your business gets the store live with payment gateways configured, customer and order data migrated from any previous platform, SEO redirects in place, team training completed before go-live, and full handover documentation. 05 ### Ongoing support and evolution Your business works with the same Perth-based team after launch. Updates, monitoring, accessibility maintenance, catalogue expansion, new integrations, and retraining for new staff are all handled by the people who built the store. 06 ### Training and review. Before launch, your team uses the CMS with the real website pages. Remedy records the training session, supplies a written guide and resolves review issues before the site goes live. This gives your organisation a clearer handover and more confidence from day one. 07 ### Launch and post-launch support. Once the website is live, hosting, monitoring and post-launch support are active. The same project team remains available for 90 days while the website settles into real use and your organisation starts managing it day to day.

It suits businesses planning to build for 5 or more years, not for the fastest possible launch. Shopify is the better fit if the goal is speed to market, the catalogue is straightforward DTC retail, and a managed platform with a broad app ecosystem meets the business model without customisation. A custom build is not the right starting point for a solo founder launching a personal brand on a tight timeline, or for a business that genuinely only needs a template store for a small catalogue. Getting that distinction right in the strategy conversation is part of how Remedy scopes projects — the platform recommendation comes from the business model, not from a preferred platform. ### **How long does an e-commerce website project take?** Most Remedy e-commerce projects run 14 to 20 weeks from strategy through to launch. Stores with large catalogues, platform migration, wholesale pricing, B2B ordering, or deeper integration requirements take longer because those decisions are planned properly before the build is committed, which gives the launched store a stronger foundation. The timeline is confirmed during the scoping conversation, not before. ### **Should a Perth business use Craft Commerce or Shopify?** Shopify suits fast-launch retail, high-volume DTC, and businesses that want a managed platform with built-in security and ongoing technical support across a standard catalogue. Craft Commerce suits specialist products, content-heavy buying journeys, wholesale and B2B access, and businesses that want full platform ownership, deeper integration capability, and the ability to grow the system alongside the business. The right choice depends on the business model, not on which platform looks better on a features list. ### **Can Remedy migrate an existing store from Shopify or WooCommerce?** Yes. Remedy migrates products, categories, customers, order history, and URLs from Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento, and other platforms. The outcome is a cleaner e-commerce structure with search visibility protected, customer history retained where possible, and the team trained on the new system before go-live. ### **What payment gateways do you support for Perth e-commerce builds?** Craft Commerce supports major Australian payment gateways including Stripe, eWAY, Westpac, and PayPal, as well as buy now, pay later providers such as Afterpay. Gateway selection is agreed upon during strategy based on how the business sells, where customers are located, transaction fee structures, compliance requirements, and international payment needs. ### **What wholesale, B2B or trade-only features can you build?** Wholesale and B2B e-commerce builds can include customer-group pricing, account-based ordering, trade-only catalogue access, negotiated pricing per customer, purchase-order workflows, and customer-specific delivery rules. These are planned around the business model during the strategy stage, so retail and trade customers use the same store but experience different experiences and pricing. ### **How much does a custom e-commerce website cost in Perth?** A custom e-commerce website in Perth typically starts from $15,000 for a simplistic Shopify set up. A more custom build may start from $30,000 and an advanced e-commerce website may start from $50,000. Cost depends on catalogue size, migration complexity, integrations, wholesale or B2B requirements, content needs, and ongoing support. A custom Craft Commerce build costs more upfront than a template store. The value is in platform ownership, catalogue fit, continuity of support, and a system that grows with the business. Scope is agreed before cost is confirmed. **What happens after the store launches?** After launch, Remedy supports the store with hosting, updates, security patches, Craft CMS and Commerce upgrades, accessibility maintenance, performance monitoring, and future development. The business has a steady Perth-based team behind its e-commerce platform, so the store keeps improving and website management stays off the internal task list. ## Start with a conversation.
