What we design & build?
Ecommerce platform development
We design and build ecommerce stores on Shopify Plus, Adobe Commerce, Magento, BigCommerce and OroCommerce. Every project starts with platform selection, we recommend the right architecture for your business model, catalogue complexity, integration requirements and growth trajectory, then build it properly from the ground up. Our developers are certified on each platform and have delivered projects across retail, wholesale, manufacturing and distribution.
Custom ecommerce development
Out-of-the-box functionality rarely covers the full requirements of a serious ecommerce operation. We build custom modules, extensions and features on top of the platform foundation, custom pricing engines, advanced product configurators, complex checkout flows, wholesale portals, subscription logic and more. Our in-house developers write production-grade code built to last, not quick patches that create debt.
ERP, PIM and systems integrations
Integration is where ecommerce projects succeed or fail. We build reliable, maintainable integrations between your ecommerce platform and the business systems it needs to talk to, SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, MYOB, NetSuite, Akeneo, Pimcore and others. Our engineers handle both sides of the connection: the API design, the data mapping, the error handling and the monitoring. No middleware black boxes, no brittle point-to-point hacks.
B2B eCommerce development
B2B ecommerce is not a simpler version of B2C, it is a fundamentally different technical problem. Customer-specific pricing, tiered discount structures, multi-location account management, purchase order workflows, credit terms, quote-to-order processes and procurement approvals all require deliberate engineering. AcidGreen has built B2B ecommerce platforms for Australian wholesalers, distributors and manufacturers, and we understand the gap between what platforms offer natively and what enterprise buyers actually need.
Replatforming and migrations
Migrating an ecommerce platform is a high-risk project when done poorly. We manage the full migration process: data mapping, content migration, URL redirect strategies, SEO preservation, integration reconnection and parallel testing before cutover. Our approach is designed to minimise downtime, protect your organic rankings and ensure your business continues operating throughout the transition without disruption.
Performance, technical SEO and ongoing development
A launched ecommerce platform is not a finished ecommerce platform. We provide ongoing development retainers for Australian businesses that need a trusted technical partner to handle feature development, performance optimisation, Core Web Vitals improvements, platform upgrades and continuous iteration. Rather than treating your store as a fixed deliverable, we treat it as a commercial asset under active development.
Why work with acidgreen as your ecommerce development agency?
Most agencies can design a store. Far fewer can build one that integrates cleanly with your business systems, handles complex B2B requirements and remains maintainable two years after launch. That’s the distinction that matters.
A development-led team with 25+ years of eCommerce delivery in Australia
Since 2003, Acidgreen has been building ecommerce platforms for Australian businesses. Our team is primarily made up of certified developers and solution architects, not generalist project managers outsourcing to offshore developers. When you engage AcidGreen, the people scoping your project are the same people building it.
Certified across all major eCommerce platforms
We hold certified partner status with Shopify Plus, Adobe Commerce, Magento, BigCommerce and OroCommerce. This means we can give you an unbiased platform recommendation based on your actual requirements, and then deliver the build with specialists on whichever platform is right for your business, not the one that’s easiest for us.
Part of the DATASOLUTION Group
AcidGreen is part of the DATASOLUTION group, giving our clients access to over 400 ecommerce specialists worldwide. For complex enterprise projects, we can draw on global technical resources while maintaining local project ownership and accountability in Sydney and Melbourne.
How do we run ecommerce development projects?
We follow a structured delivery process built around reducing risk and maintaining commercial momentum throughout the project.
Discovery and scoping : We invest time upfront to understand your business model, integration landscape, B2B requirements and growth objectives before writing a line of code. This prevents expensive scope changes mid-build.
Solution architecture : We design the technical architecture, platform configuration, custom module structure, integration patterns, data models, before development begins. You see exactly what you’re getting.
Agile development : We build in sprints with regular review points, giving you visibility of progress and the ability to provide feedback throughout the build rather than only at the end.
Integration and QA : We build and test all integrations in a staging environment, running structured QA against agreed acceptance criteria before any code reaches production.
Launch and post-launch support : We manage the production deployment and provide structured post-launch support, monitoring performance and resolving any issues in the critical period after go-live.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
FAQ about ecommerce web design & development in Australia
Cost depends on platform, scope, customisation requirements and integrations. A mid-market ecommerce build on Shopify Plus or BigCommerce typically ranges from $40,000 to $120,000 AUD. Enterprise projects on Adobe Commerce with ERP integration and custom B2B functionality commonly range from $150,000 to $400,000+. AcidGreen provides a detailed scope and fixed-price proposal after a discovery engagement, so you have full cost certainty before committing.
A standard Shopify Plus or BigCommerce build typically takes 10 to 16 weeks from kick-off to launch. Adobe Commerce and OroCommerce projects with custom development and ERP integration commonly run 20 to 36 weeks. The timeline is directly driven by scope: the number of custom features, the complexity of integrations, the volume of data to migrate and the availability of your internal stakeholders for reviews and sign-offs.
Yes, and it is one of our core technical strengths. We build integrations between ecommerce platforms and ERP systems (SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, MYOB, NetSuite), PIM systems (Akeneo, Pimcore) and other business-critical tools. These are built in-house by our own engineers, not outsourced or handled via generic middleware connectors. We design for reliability, error handling and maintainability from the start.
Magento migrations are one of the most common projects we run. The critical risks are data integrity, SEO preservation and integration reconnection, we have a structured migration methodology that addresses each. We map all existing URLs and implement redirects, migrate product, customer and order data with full validation, and reconnect or rebuild integrations on the new platform. We run parallel environments and conduct extensive testing before any cutover.
Yes. Most of our clients retain Acidgreen post-launch for ongoing development, platform maintenance and feature iteration. We offer structured retainer arrangements that give you access to a dedicated development team without the overhead of hiring in-house. This covers platform upgrades, performance optimisation, new feature development and technical support, treating your ecommerce platform as a continuously evolving commercial asset rather than a one-off project.
The right platform depends on your business model, technical requirements, team capabilities and budget. Shopify Plus suits brands that need speed-to-market, low operational overhead and a strong app ecosystem. Adobe Commerce and Magento suit businesses needing deep customisation and complex catalogue management. BigCommerce offers a strong middle ground with open APIs and native B2B features. OroCommerce is purpose-built for wholesale and distribution models with complex B2B requirements. Because AcidGreen is certified across all five, our recommendation is always based on your needs, not our development preferences.
