Auckland online stores
without CBD agency prices.

Online store builds start from $4,000, fixed price agreed before we start. Auckland CBD agencies routinely quote $15,000 to $30,000 for the same scope, largely because they carry CBD office space and multi-tier account teams. We're based in the Waikato and don't, so there's no Auckland markup in the number.

Yes. PPC Foiling is an Auckland wing foiling brand whose Shopify store is the heart of their direct-to-consumer business, alongside a dealer portal for wholesale. Since 2024 they've gone from around 7 dealers to roughly 95 across North America and Europe, with Google Merchant Center feeds, Klaviyo automation and paid campaigns all running around the store.

We come to Auckland for kickoffs and any session that genuinely benefits from being in a room. Everything day-to-day runs on shared docs and video, which is how modern store builds work and is faster than waiting on diary availability. We're not going to pretend a weekly Auckland commute adds anything except cost to your quote.

Shopify for most product businesses, and we say that as an agency that builds custom sites for a living. Its checkout, payments, inventory and app ecosystem are years ahead of anything worth building yourself. Custom makes sense when content is your growth engine and you need total control over structure and speed. We'll tell you which one you are before you spend anything.

Often fix, and that's the cheaper answer. The usual problem isn't the store, it's that there's nothing on the pages for Google to rank - thin product descriptions, empty collection pages, no schema. We audit what you have and quote the smaller job when the smaller job is the right one.

Yes, migrations are a solid chunk of our ecommerce work. Products, collections, customers and orders come across, and every old URL is mapped to its new home with a 301 redirect so you keep the rankings you already have. Your existing store stays live until the new one is ready.

About five weeks from kickoff for most stores. Large catalogues and heavy migrations take longer, though it's the content work that scales with catalogue size, not the build. We agree the timeline upfront and stick to it.

Both, if you want it. For PPC Foiling we run the Merchant Center feed, Meta and Google Ads and Klaviyo email alongside the store, which is the point - the store, the feed and the campaigns pointing the same direction. You can also just take the build and run the rest yourself. No lock-in either way.
