FAQs · Australia

Common questions from Australian founders.

Do you work with Australian clients?

Yes — a meaningful share of my retainer and project work is with Australia-based clients across DTC, B2B, and editorial verticals. Reply window matches AEST business hours via async handoff.

What does a Shopify build for a Australian brand cost?

A senior independent Shopify build typically runs $15,000–$50,000 USD (AUD equivalent at current rates), depending on scope. Stock theme setups cost less. Shopify Plus migrations run higher.

Can you handle AUD payment processing?

Yes. Shopify Payments, Stripe, and regional gateways. For Australia-specific regional payment methods, I work with the provider that best fits the merchant.

Do you offer ongoing support after launch?

Yes — retainer engagements start at 10 hours/month and scale up. Most clients move to retainer after launch for continued CRO, speed, and feature work.

How do invoicing and contracts work for Australia?

Contracts in USD with standard MSA + SOW structure. Payment via Wise, Stripe, or bank transfer in your local currency at conversion. Invoices monthly for retainers, milestone-based for projects.
