The Rival team have been absolutely brilliant to work with. They have proved knowledgeable on all things digital and eCommerce. They have taken the time to learn our business and all it's intricacies and used that to then develop a site that satisfies all the needs of our varied and unique customer base.
Nothing has been too big or hard for Rival to tackle, their responsiveness to our needs has been refreshing. We're so satisfied that we have commissioned Rival to work on another web project for us.

5/5 Stars
I have brought my large Estore across to Rival Ecommerce in complete disarray.
I had been through an unsuccessful upgrade that left me with a badly functioning website.
As I am 95% online, this was terrible. Rival helped me through the problems and we decided to rebuild. I am now loving working on the website again and my customers are emailing compliments in place of complaints.

Common questions about our web design and ecommerce services in Newcastle.
Absolutely. We work with businesses across Australia, including Newcastle. Whether you need a brand-new ecommerce store or want to improve an existing one, we can help. We handle everything remotely and are always available for video calls, phone calls, and in-person meetings when needed.
Every project is different, but a custom ecommerce build typically starts from $15,000 for a standard Shopify store and scales up based on complexity, integrations, and platform choice. We provide a fixed-price quote after a free discovery session so there are no surprises.
Most custom builds take 8 to 14 weeks from kickoff to launch. Simpler theme-based builds can be faster, while complex migrations or headless builds with multiple integrations may take 16 to 20 weeks. We'll give you a clear timeline upfront.
It depends on your business needs. Shopify and Shopify Plus are great for most small to mid-size stores. Adobe Commerce (Magento) suits larger businesses with complex catalogues and custom requirements. We'll help you choose the right platform during our free consultation.
