How it works

Four steps. No admin.

No tickets portal, no minimum spend.

What's covered

One rate. Six kinds of help.

A$50 an hour, whether it's a designer or a developer.

Design

New pages, landing pages, banners and section designs that match your brand instead of fighting it.

Development

Theme changes, custom sections, metafields, bug fixes and anything that needs real Liquid code.

Speed

Core Web Vitals, image and app clean-up, so the store loads fast on 4G, not just the office wifi.

Apps & integrations

Klaviyo, reviews, subscriptions, bundles and your 3PL, chosen well and set up so they play nicely together.

Testing & CRO

Find where shoppers drop off, test a fix, keep the winner. More on CRO.

AI visibility

Product data, answers and monthly prompt tracking so AI assistants recommend you. More on AI search.

Why hourly

Retainers are built for agencies.

A retainer means paying for a quiet month, or rushing to use up hours. With Accelerate, you pay for the hours a job takes, when you have a job. Busy launch month? Send us ten things. Quiet winter? Pay nothing.

Questions

Good questions. Straight answers.

How much does a Shopify developer cost in Australia?

Rates vary a lot between freelancers, agencies and offshore teams, and so does what you get. Our Accelerate is A$50 an hour for Shopify design and development, billed only for the hours we work.

We estimate each job before we start, so you know the likely cost up front.

Do I need a monthly retainer?

No. Accelerate is pay for what you need. Send a job when you have one, and you're billed for the hours it takes. Quiet month? You pay nothing.

When is a fixed price better than hourly?

If you need a whole new store, a redesign or a migration, a fixed price works better than an hourly meter, for you and for us. That's what Launch and Rebuild are for. Accelerate is for everything after that.

How do you estimate a job?

Tell us what you need, with a screenshot or a link if it helps. We look at the store, ask any questions, and give you an estimate in hours before we start. If something turns out bigger than expected, we tell you before going over.

Can you work on a Shopify store you didn't build?

Yes. We start by looking at how the theme and apps are set up, so we can work on it safely without breaking anything.

Can we make changes to the store ourselves?

Yes. Every store we build uses editable sections, so you can change content, reorder pages and launch campaigns without calling anyone. You might only need Accelerate a few times a year, and that's the point.

What can I use Accelerate hours for?

Anything design or development on your Shopify store: bug fixes, new pages and landing pages, theme changes, speed improvements, app set-up and integrations, A/B tests, and AI search visibility work.

Is it the same rate for design and development?

Yes. Design, development, testing and AI visibility work are all A$50 an hour. One rate, no surprises on the invoice.
