Coldstream · Yarra Valley
Selling online from Coldstream? The store should work as hard as the product.
I'm Jus. Based in Mooroolbark — not far. I build and fix Shopify stores for people who don't want a city agency.
Wine, food, makers, specialists — valley businesses often sell a story. The site has to carry that without getting in the way of checkout.

Where stores fall over
Beautiful photos. Clunky buy flow. That's the pattern.
Shipping rules that confuse interstate buyers. Product pages that talk about provenance and forget price, size, and stock. Themes that look premium until you try them on a phone in the car park.
I fix the bits that stop people paying. Or rebuild when the current setup can't stretch that far.
How I can help
Four services. Fixed prices. Unsure which one? Tell me what's going on — I'll point you at the cheaper option if that's enough.
-
Conversion audit
I go through your store page by page, record a video walkthrough, and give you a written list of what to fix first. Best starting point if you've got traffic and weak sales.
From $699 AUD10–14 days -
Updates and theme customisation
Specific changes — layout, product page, speed, a feature the theme almost does. You tell me what you need, I quote it, you approve, I do it.
$130 AUD/hrMost jobs: 1–3 hours -
Theme setup and launch
A premium theme, set up to take orders. Makes sense if you want it looking professional without paying for a custom build.
From $2,400 AUD2–3 weeks -
Custom store build
From scratch, when a theme can't do the job. You own the code. Built so people can buy, not just so it looks good in a screenshot.
From $7,500 AUD6–8 weeks
Why work with me instead of an agency
You're not hiring a team. You're hiring me. That keeps decisions fast.
I've built sites for 20 years. Shopify for the recent stretch — independents through to larger brands.
If you're not ready for a rebuild, I'll say so. Small fixes first when that's enough.
A few stores I've worked on
- Kakawa Chocolates
Old store, great product. Rebuilt in 3 weeks. Conversion up 64%.
- Tools Warehouse
Traffic was there. Buying wasn't easy. Conversions up 39%, pages 55% faster.
- The Wholefoods Refillery
Most traffic was mobile. The store wasn't. Revenue up 18% after a mobile-first redesign.

Common questions
Do you visit businesses in Coldstream?
+
Yes. Coldstream's a short drive from Mooroolbark — up toward the valley. Happy to come on-site. Plenty of the work still happens remotely either way.
Who am I actually dealing with?
+
Me. Jus. Studio Elephant. No account manager, no junior. Audits start from $699.
Can you improve an existing Shopify store, or do you only build new ones?
+
Both. Most jobs are on stores that already exist. If a full rebuild isn't the right move, I'll say so.
What happens when I get in touch?
+
I reply within a business day. Tell me about the store and what's broken or missing. I'll tell you what I'd do next.
Tell me what's going on with the store.
I'll reply within a business day with a straight recommendation — audit, a small fix, or a build. No pitch deck.
