Ringwood North · Outer east
Shopify developer for Ringwood North — local enough to visit, blunt enough to be useful.
I'm Jus. Based in Mooroolbark. Ringwood North's an easy run if you want me there in person.
I look at the store. We talk. I send a plan. No account manager translating between us.

Why sales stall
The product's fine. The path to buying it isn't.
Search finds you. Then the homepage never says what you sell. Product pages bury the buy button under lifestyle fluff. Returns policy lives in a PDF nobody opens. On mobile it's worse.
I strip that out so people can decide and pay. Or I rebuild when the theme's past saving.
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
One contact. One person doing the work. Keeps the project honest.
Twenty years of websites. Shopify for the stores that need to sell — 200+ of them, including work with JB Hi-Fi and FXD Workwear.
I'll push back on scope that won't move revenue. Better that than a pretty store that still doesn't convert.

Common questions
Do you visit businesses in Ringwood North?
+
Yes. From Mooroolbark it's a short drive through Ringwood. Happy to come on-site. Most of the work still happens in Shopify admin.
Who am I actually dealing with?
+
Me. Jus. Studio Elephant. You talk to the person doing the work. 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. I'll tell you what I'd do next — often a $699 audit.
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.
