A Shopify store set up and styled for your brand — theme, core pages, products, payments and shipping — so you're not piecing an online store together yourself at midnight. We build it and support it. You own it.
Signing up to Shopify takes five minutes. Getting to a store you'd actually send a customer to — branded properly, products structured sensibly, payments working, shipping rules that don't lose you money — is where most businesses stall out.
Half-finished stores are everywhere. Not because the owners aren't capable, but because setting one up properly is a project, and running the business is already a full-time job.
Web Starter Store is that project, done for you, at a price you know before you start.
Instead of trying to piece an online store together alone, you get a properly structured starting point: branded pages, products loaded, collections organised and the core store functions configured and tested for launch.
A faster path to selling online, far less setup friction, and a more professional and better-supported launch.
Built for small businesses that need a professionally set up online store with EduCom IT handling the build and integration, while you keep and maintain your own Shopify subscription and product catalogue.
Stores change constantly — new products, seasonal promotions, price adjustments, banner swaps. Both plans include a monthly allowance of updates handled by our team, so those changes actually happen.
Ideal for a stable site that only needs occasional content changes.
Ideal if you run seasonal promotions, change services often or add products regularly.
What you sell, how you ship it and what the store needs to do on day one.
Web Starter Store plus the hosting and support plan that matches your update rhythm.
Branding, product images, descriptions, pricing and your business details.
Shopify set up, theme styled, core pages built, products and collections loaded.
We help configure payment methods and shipping rules so checkout actually works.
You test the store and we adjust before anything goes live.
The store opens — and stays supported rather than being handed over and forgotten.
Plus your own Shopify subscription, paid directly to Shopify in your name. All EduCom IT pricing inc GST.
Extend the store as the business grows.
Scoped separately so the package price stays honest.
Selling in person too? See our Shopify POS page.
Web Starter Store is a fixed-price Shopify store setup for small businesses that want to start selling online. For $1,299 inc GST we configure your Shopify store, set up and style a theme to match your brand, build up to five core pages, load your products and collections, and help configure payments and shipping so the store is genuinely ready to launch.
No, and that's deliberate. The Shopify subscription is purchased and held in your name, so you own your store, your products, your orders and your customer data outright. We build and configure it — you own it. The same applies to any paid Shopify apps you choose to add.
$1,299 inc GST for the store build, plus a hosting and support plan from $59 per month, plus your own Shopify subscription paid directly to Shopify. Hosting Basic includes up to two updates a month; Hosting Plus includes up to ten, which suits businesses running regular promotions or adding products often.
We set up your products and collections as part of the build, to an agreed scope. Very large catalogue entry sits outside the fixed price — if you've got hundreds of SKUs, tell us and we'll quote the data work separately rather than surprise you later.
We provide configuration assistance for both. Payment gateways and shipping rules involve your own business decisions — which methods you accept, what you charge for freight — so we work through it with you rather than guessing.
For small businesses starting out, Shopify gets the fundamentals right: reliable hosting, secure checkout, payments, inventory and a huge app ecosystem, without needing a developer on call. We're also happy to talk through other options — see our point-of-sale and eCommerce platform pages for the wider picture.
Yes. Shopify's point-of-sale connects your in-store sales to the same inventory as your online store. We work with Shopify POS alongside other systems like Square and Lightspeed, so tell us how you sell and we'll advise.
Then Web Starter is the package you want — a five-page professional business website for $799 inc GST plus hosting, with no eCommerce complexity to manage.
Yes. That's what the update allowance in your hosting plan covers. Businesses running seasonal promotions or changing products regularly usually pick Hosting Plus for the larger monthly allowance.
