// Shopify design and development
The right build for your business.
Start with what customers need to find, understand and buy. We scope the design, development and launch around your catalogue, team and goals, rather than add complexity for its own sake.
Improve the theme you have
Build useful sections, clearer navigation and product-page features in an existing Shopify theme. If a focused change can solve the problem, a full rebuild may not be needed.
Move to Shopify carefully
Review product and customer data, existing URLs, integrations and dependencies before a migration. Plan redirects, testing and handover around what your business needs to preserve.
Make products easier to find
Structure collections and navigation around how people shop. Product information, related styles and search paths can help customers choose without starting again.
Connect the useful systems
Scope retail, stock and workflow integrations against your actual operations. Confirm access, compatibility and ongoing costs before committing to a custom connection.
Build for life after launch
Document the work, show your team how to use it and agree support. Ongoing Shopify care is available through Shopify maintenance and support.
// How we work
A clear route from idea to store.
01 Understand
Goals before features
Review your catalogue, customers, current site and priorities. Agree the scope, responsibilities, budget and what a successful launch needs to include.
02 Design
See the important pages
Review the agreed mobile and desktop layouts, navigation and product-page experience. Resolve the important content and design decisions before build.
03 Build
Develop and check
Ying leads development and delivery, with Tim on commercial direction. Review progress and test the agreed journeys in a suitable preview before release.
04 Launch
Release with a plan
Agree approvals, redirects, functional checks and handover. Timing and any interruption risks depend on the platform, data and scope of the change.
Scope, timing, capacity and approval steps are agreed before work begins.

// Straight answers
Before we get started.
Do you work with businesses in the Macedon Ranges?
Yes. Tim is based in Kyneton and works with businesses across the Macedon Ranges, including Woodend, Gisborne, Macedon and surrounding towns. We also deliver Shopify work for Australian businesses remotely.
Can you improve our existing Shopify theme?
Yes. We first check whether changes to navigation, sections or product pages can achieve the goal. A new theme or full rebuild is recommended only when the scope and constraints justify it.
How much does a Shopify build cost?
Builds, migrations and substantial integrations are quoted against the agreed scope. The initial store review is a free conversation about fit and priorities, not free design or implementation. Snowball pricing is for ongoing care rather than a full rebuild.
How long will the project take?
We agree a schedule after reviewing the scope, content, access and approval steps. Larger migrations and custom features need different timelines from a focused theme change.
What happens after launch?
Handover and any initial support are agreed for the project. For a store that needs continued attention, Snowball provides ongoing improvements and care within agreed monthly capacity.
// Snowball by Sonder
Good work. Looked after.
Snowball gives established Shopify stores an ongoing team for agreed checks, prioritised improvements and clear updates. From A$2,200/month + GST for one store, with one planned improvement at a time and monthly capacity agreed upfront. People review changes before release.
Full rebuilds, migrations and substantial integrations are scoped separately. Results depend on your store and market. Third-party subscriptions are not included.
// Start with your store
What should your store do next?
Tell Tim what needs to work better, or what you want to build. We will discuss the right starting point, from a focused improvement to a new store or a migration.
Include your store URL or plans and what needs work.
