Shopify Website Designer Brisbane
Shopify websites built around your brand
At So Swell Studio, we design and build on-brand Shopify stores for product businesses across Australia and internationally. Every store is built around your catalogue, your customers and your goals.
Is Shopify right for your business?
Shopify is the strongest choice for product based businesses that sell online, whether you're launching your first collection or migrating off a platform that's holding you back. If you've outgrown a template, you're managing a large catalogue, or you just want a store that's genuinely yours, get in touch and we'll help you decide.
Our Shopify Design Process
Strategy
A workshop to map your goals, your catalogue and your site structure before anything is designed.
Design
I recommend the right theme and app stack for your catalogue, then draft the homepage so you can see the direction before we build out the rest.
Build
Full site build across all pages, with custom sections, product templates and app integrations set up properly.
Launch
Speed checks, demo products loaded, mobile testing, and two weeks of post launch support.
Why choose So Swell Studio to build your Shopify website?
We don't default to the same theme for every client. Each recommendation is based on your catalogue, your brand and how your customers shop, so the foundation actually fits before anything else is built.
Once the theme's locked in, we build custom Liquid sections and bring in the right apps to add the functionality your store needs, rather than stretching a theme past what it was built for.
Page speed, mobile performance and technical SEO groundwork happen as the site's built, not as an afterthought once it's live.
You're working directly with us across strategy, theme selection, build and launch. No handoff, no one interpreting your brief second hand.

Experienced Shopify Partner
I'm Tanya, and I work as a Shopify Partner building custom stores for product businesses across Australia and the US.
In practical terms, it means you're working directly with a designer who handles everything: strategy, copywriting, design, custom sections, and the full build. There's no handoff to a developer and no one interpreting your brief second hand. You deal with one person, me, from start to finish.
I recommend the right theme and app stack for your catalogue, rather than a one size fits all default, and I build custom Liquid sections whenever your store needs something the theme wasn't designed to do.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Shopify websites start from $6,000+GST. The final figure depends on your catalogue size, the number of custom sections and any app integrations you need.
-
A template gives you a fixed layout with your logo dropped in. A custom build is designed around your brand, your catalogue and how your customers actually shop, with custom sections built to do things a standard theme can't.
-
Usually, up to 10 demo products are loaded as part of the build. Full catalogue uploads are your responsibility or can be quoted as a separate service.
-
Yes. I work with product businesses across Australia and internationally, all remotely.
-
I assess your catalogue, product range and goals, then recommend the theme and app stack that suits your store best, rather than defaulting to the same setup for everyone. Premium themes like Expanse and Impulse come up often, but the right fit depends on what you're selling.
-
Timelines vary with catalogue size and scope, but most builds run several weeks from strategy through to launch.
-
Yes. Technical SEO groundwork, including page speed and mobile optimisation, is part of every build.
-
Yes, I usually handle copywriting based on the information you provide, since writing for a website needs to consider the whole strategy, not just the words on the page. If you've already got a copywriter you'd like to bring in, I'm more than happy to collaborate with them.
