We are problem solvers for fast-paced teams.

There are many types of digital agencies, so we won't explain each type as we may not give some of them the true credit they deserve.

eCommerce agencies are those focused on helping brands grow their stores and brand through data & experience driven decisions to create measurable results.

Agencies who specialise in web applications (or custom solutions) develop bespoke software for businesses where off-the-shelf products don't suit or solve specific problems for a business. These web applications are tailor built to the business, and can deliver much more productivity and growth than off-the-shelf products can.

Here at Pixel, we have recognized various needs that are not being met within the tech industry.

Pixel was founded out of frustration with other digital agencies not delivering the fundamental experience that clients deserve, therefore tainting the digital transformation experience. Our expertise lies in the development of eCommerce stores; utilising cutting edge technology to help us create performant and scalable solutions to solve your problems.

We're experts in developing bespoke custom solutions that solve complex problems and help businesses scale. We're also experienced in developing high converting eCommerce stores built to sell.

We've spent time perfecting our hand-crafted experiences, so much so, that our clients cannot help but tell everyone they meet.

All in all, we're romantics at heart, and love putting smiles on our clients faces.

We're confident that we're the digital partner you deserve.

There are heaps of options, and it might be hard to choose what best suits your needs. Some of your best options are:

1. Wordpress.org – globally, is the most popular CMS on the market and powers nearly half of all websites on the internet. A very flexible system that’s built for freedom. Remember this service is different to wordpress.com (the hosting platform)
2. HubSpot CMS Hub – this is a fully integrated system that’s designed for business owners. Simple to use, no need for technical skills and various smart features and built-in security features to drive the whole system home. This is a paid CMS with various tiers: starter, professional and enterprise.
3. WooCommerce – this is a plugin run through Wordpress, so you will need Wordpress to utilise it. Very flexible and easy to manage. You may need to purchase more payment gateways though, as it only comes with PayPal and Stripe by default.

This is just a few of many, we recommend jumping over to our blog to some more research before making a final decision.

A CMS is what’s commonly known as a ‘content management system’ – a piece of software helps the build process of the website with little understanding of code required.

Most websites are written in programming languages like HTML, JavaScript, or CSS. You’d also need to know these programming languages to maintain the website.

To choose the right CMS you want to look at; how easy the software is to use, what website design templates exist and how customisable they are, if the date importing process is simple and streamlined, if extensions can be added on to the existing software and the level of customer support offered.

The cost will vary also, some platforms are free while others will charge you a monthly fee. Be wary that the free options will often require payment of extensions, designs and web hosting.

If you’re a business owner, you’ve likely heard of Shopify.

At its most basic definition, Shopify is a cloud-based, all-encompassing online platform built for selling and requires a monthly subscription for its use.

The reason Shopify is so popular, is because its perfect for smaller business if they’re still in their start-up phase and looking for low overhead costs. Better yet, it’s easy to use.

Depending on your needs, you can opt for the right subscription level for you – starting at the basic tier, and skyrockets to an advanced Shopify subscription at $299 per month.

There’s a Shopify Lite option for those for businesses that do not need a full online store. And for those retail giants with triple figure sales, Shopify Plus is the way to go.

While there are many pros, keep in mind that Shopify is known for its limited functionality without development. We recommend getting in touch with a Shopify expert (like us) or Shopify Plus agency to help you get the most out of Shopify.

If you’re looking for something more customised with a touch of personal flare, a bespoke web application might be the route for you – here at Pixel, this is our bread and butter.

Laravel is an open-source PHP framework that is utilised by some of the worlds biggest companies; like Disney, The New York Times, and Twitch.

Here are just a few of the biggest reasons why we utilise this amazing Framework for our bespoke web applications:

1. Open-source: Any developer can contribute to adding new features or fixing bugs, so confidence in numbers is a real winner here.
2. Stable and popular: Laravel is used by thousands of developers around the world. This means Pixel can always find more developers to work on our applications.
3. Enterprise scale without complexity: A vast library of packages maintained by the Laravel team means confidence when we develop new features.
