E-Commerce, Online Stores or Shopping Cart websites are specifically designed to sell your products or services to website visitors.
These can be a sub component of a CMS site (that is more focused on providing information) or the main purpose of your site.
Whether you’re planning to sell a few or thousands of products or need the ability for flexible shipping options, cross sells or want to link to accounting software, then an E-Commerce site is recommended.
We currently recommend WooCommerce, which is a plugin (or software) for WordPress to develop your E-Commerce website. WooCommerce is the software used to run your online store and there are endless extensions for WooCommerce that can enhance the shopping experience.
Whether you need coupons, flexible shipping, additional payment methods, integration with your accounting software, advanced product options, there is a WooCommerce extension available.

When developing your website our main goal is for you and your staff to be able to update, change and add content once it’s complete, with very little training. Although WordPress uses a WYSIWYG editor (buttons), just like programs such as MS Word, formatting a page with columns, adding images, videos and other elements is not always easy.
To make these tasks easier, we use a page builder called Visual Composer to develop each page. It works in rows & columns within those rows, where you add components such as headings, text, image galleries, videos, e.t.c. Each component has it’s own settings, so adding animation or background is as easy as choosing options within the element.
Change your mind as to where you want an image to sit on the page? Just drag and drop it into another location. No re-writing or messing with code!
Like the way a row or component is formatted? Duplicate it and then place the copy where you want it. You can even copy the format of an entire page.
Take a tour of Visual Composer over at our Video Guides
Google and the search engines expect that your website will be updated on a regular basis in order to be seen as as current and rank well. We develop your website to be easily updated and provide a range of videos to teach you all about WordPress, Visual Composer and other components that we use on your site as well as a personalised guided tour to where to find and edit everything on your website once it is complete.
However, if you don’t have time or just don’t want to, then we our team can do it for you. It’s as easy as sending us an email to support@guydesigns.com.au with details and when you need it completed by (please allow 1-2 weeks for non-urgent updates) and we’ll let you know the best way to send the content through to us.
Included in our hosted design package is 5 hours of maintenance per year. If we haven’t designed your site or you have run out of maintenance hours, we offer packages in hourly, 5 and 10 hourly blocks.
Guy Designs is a wholesale re-seller for domain names and can offer you the best prices for your new domain name.
We run our own hosting servers in data centres located in Australia & overseas, giving you the security to know that we have full control of your website functionality and not just a reseller somewhere down the line. Our fully redundant back-up system gives you the peace of mind that if for some reason the server goes down, we’ll have your site back up and running within hours.
Our hosting package includes daily back-ups of your site so if anything happens, we can restore your website within a matter of hours.
Ready to start work on your new website but worried about the cost? No need!
Guy Designs offer payment plans over twelve months, interest free and no fees!
Depending on your project, we ask for a small deposit and then commence monthly payments the following month. We will make your website live as soon as it’s ready rather than you worrying about a final payment.
Guy Designs have prepared guides and resources to help you begin the exciting process of building your new site. We will assist you in collating the information/content, images, etc. in the preparation for your website and walk you through each stage.
We have video guides to teach you how to update your site & add new content when you are ready.
Don’t have time to update your site? Not confident and need further instruction?
If you have a hosting package with us, simply contact us & we can either do the work for you or connect via video chat to walk you through in real time. Don’t have a hosting package? Maintenance hours can be purchased as required.
I have really enjoyed working with you! You’re down to earth, your communications have been clear and straight-forward and you always reply promptly. I don’t feel like “second-priority” as I do with some other business people.
The site is looking great and you have met all my requests without complaint.
Thank you!
Thank you Guy Designs for being so patient with me and working so hard over the last months…. our new website a real show stopper! I really do love the new look! Thanx for being so ‘on the ball’. Thank Guys (sorry, couldn’t help myself).
