For decision-makers, that means less time on maintenance and more time on growth: marketing, merchandising and retention.

Working with Pixel Storm has been a godsend. No longer do we have to stress about anything technically related whether it be anything SEO or socials that don’t work, won’t start or we don’t understand! Best of all they are an Australian based team with a REAL office, so we know that they are not going to disappear overnight, which has happened to us in the past. They just get on and do and fix ‘stuff’ without drama We had very limited understanding or knowledge of SEO when we first worked with PS . They explain technical ‘stuff’ in lay persons terms, without jargon so we can understand what needs to be done. Our rankings in Google have improved so much since we stated work with PS three years ago, As an SME, can’t recommend Paula and the PS team highly enough, they have made our lives so much easier.

After searching worldwide for a web development company, we settled on Pixelstorm in Melbourne, Victoria. Not only did they have a great pitch, but they delivered a solution bursting with creativity and passion. And notably, on time and budget. I enjoyed working with the team; they were very responsive to feedback as we moved along through the project. Changes can be expensive and difficult to manage, though they inevitably come up in any project. The team at Pixelstorm had a very suitable approach to sorting this out along the way. We could not have been more pleased with the results of the finished project. Feedback has been fantastic, and the response to the new design has been exceptionally well received. The site was even a finalist in the Australian Web Awards in the non-profit category. We will certainly use Pixelstorm on future projects, and I look forward to working with the team again. I highly recommend them for their quality of work, dedication, and continuous engagement. To paraphrase Clementine Churchill, 'It's not just a website... it's a triumph!'

Can you integrate Shopify with ERP, CRM, or third-party systems?

Yes, integrations are a key part of how we build scalable ecommerce ecosystems.

We connect Shopify to ERP systems, CRMs, inventory platforms, and other third-party tools to streamline operations and improve data tracking. We approach integrations strategically so that your systems support growth rather than create bottlenecks.

Can you migrate my existing website to Shopify?

Yes, PixelStorm manages all end-to-end Shopify migrations. This includes transferring products, customers, orders, and content, preserving SEO value with comprehensive redirect maps, and preparing for URL changes. The PixelStorm team doesn’t just replicate your existing site. We use the migration as an opportunity to improve UX, SEO performance, and conversion so you’re set up for the next stage of growth.

Will I lose SEO rankings when moving to Shopify?

Not if the migration is handled correctly. There may be temporary, minor drops in search rankings immediately after a migration, but long-term SEO performance will not be affected. At PixelStorm, we implement best Shopify SEO practices such as 301 redirects, metadata preservation, and site structure optimisation to maintain your rankings.

Do you provide UX/UI design as part of Shopify development?

Yes, UX/UI (user experience/user interface) web design is central to how we approach Shopify builds. Whether you need a custom theme or use a Shopify template, we design for your users. Every design decision is grounded in an analysis of your customers and audience.

Do you offer ongoing Shopify support and maintenance?

Yes, ongoing support is a core part of our Shopify web development services. This includes technical support and bug fixes, security updates and patching, and continuous user experience (UX) and conversion rate optimisation (CRO) improvements.

How much does a Shopify website cost?

Shopify website costs depend on your store’s size, features, design, and custom functionality. Stores with custom design, advanced features and integrations typically require a higher investment. At PixelStorm, we quote every Shopify web development project differently because every store requires a plan tailored to its customers and needs. Contact us to discuss your website, and we can provide a personalised quote tailored to your requirements.
