The short version
You sell a great product. This gets it online cleanly: a rope access tech can order one in under a minute, and you fulfil every order from your phone without touching any tech.
This is a build-and-hand-over project with a clear finish line. I design it, build it, set up the store, hand you the keys, and the project is done. You own and run it from there. Below is exactly what you get, what it costs, where the line sits, and what I need from you to start.
What I'm building
Platform: Shopify, the platform built specifically for selling physical products. Once the store is live, you manage every order from the Shopify app on your phone: you get a notification on each sale, see the payment land, and print the postage label in a couple of taps. No technical know-how needed on your side, which is exactly what you asked for.
Landing page
The Sky Tray story. Why it beats the old paint bucket, the ergonomic curved-edge design, who it is for (rope access, painting, window cleaning), and a clear Buy button.
Product & checkout
Product photos, price, add to cart, and a secure checkout. The page a buyer lands on to order.
Plus the essentials that come as standard: shopping cart, secure checkout, automatic order-confirmation emails, and the basic policy pages (shipping, returns, privacy) you need to take payments. I also write the words on both pages for you, so the page actually sells. You just approve them.
What's included, and what's not
To keep this clean and fixed-price, here is exactly where the line sits. The build is everything needed to launch and take orders. Marketing the store and running it day to day are yours.
- Full Shopify store: two pages plus the standard essentials
- Sales copy for both pages, written by me, approved by you
- Polished product images, created with AI from the basic photos you send
- Card and bank-transfer payments configured
- Shipping and tax setup
- Domain connected, store tested end to end
- One round of revisions before launch
- Handover walkthrough, plus 14 days of bug fixes after launch
- ×Running ads or managing marketing campaigns
- ×Ad and conversion tracking (optional add-on below)
- ×SEO and getting found on Google (optional add-on below)
- ×Ongoing management, maintenance or product updates
- ×Packing and posting orders (fulfilment)
Payments
- Card payments Visa and Mastercard, through Shopify's built-in processing. The money lands in your bank account automatically.
- Bank transfer (EFT) Shopify can also offer bank transfer as a checkout option. The customer is shown your bank details, and the order is held until the payment reaches your account.
Your investment
This covers: design, build, full store setup, payment configuration, the sales copy, testing, one round of revisions, a handover walkthrough, and 14 days of bug fixes after launch.
Optional add-on · conversion tracking
Only worth it if you plan to advertise the store. I install GA4, the Meta (Facebook/Instagram) Pixel and Google Ads conversion tracking during the build, so your ads have proper data from day one and you never need to bring me back to add it later. +$850, one-off. Skip it entirely if you are not running ads.Optional add-on · SEO pages
The store sells the Sky Tray to people who already know about it. SEO pages help people find it on Google in the first place. I research the search terms your buyers actually type, then build pages around them so the product gets discovered over time, not only through your own promotion. Priced to scope once we know the terms and page count. From $1,500.Ongoing platform costs (in your name)
Two small running costs sit with you directly, set up under your own account so you keep full control: the Shopify subscription (approximately $42 to $56 per month) and your domain name (approximately $20 to $40 per year). There is no monthly fee to me.Timeline
I can likely start within the next four to seven days, and I'm aiming to have the store built and launched by 19 June. I'll be away from around that date, so if anything is still outstanding my team will finish it off and get you live without delay. Either way, you are live well ahead of your August order window.
Quick call
20 minutes to confirm price, postage, your plans for advertising, and the product details. You send your logo and a few basic photos.
Build
I build the store, write the copy, set up payments and shipping, and connect your domain.
Review & launch
You review it, we do one round of tweaks, then I hand it over with a walkthrough.
What I need from you to start
- Your logo files and the Sky Tray branding
- Some photos of the bucket Even basic phone snaps are fine. I turn them into clean, professional product images using AI, so you do not need a photographer.
- A 20-minute call this week To confirm price per unit, any variations, postage (weight and box size, Australia-only or worldwide), whether you plan to advertise the store, and whether Rope Ready is registered for GST.
- The domain name you would like I can register it for you if you have not already.
You do not need to write anything. I draft all the copy from your product details, and you approve it.
The handoff
The store is built to be yours and run by you. Once it is live I cover any launch bugs (checkout, payments, anything not displaying right) for 14 days, then it is fully handed over and the project is complete.
After that, I do not manage, maintain or run the store, and there is no monthly fee. It is yours to own: you take the orders, pack and post the buckets, and update products whenever you like. If you ever want paid help down the track you know where I am, but nothing is locked in.
How we get started
This proposal is an overview of what I will build for you, not a contract. Here is how we take it from there:
- A quick phone call. We run through all the details, and I get a proper understanding of what you want this website to do for you.
- I walk you through your part. A few setup steps need you, like verifying your Shopify account so it can accept payments. I will show you exactly what to do.
- Contract and payment link. I write up the final contract, send your payment link, and once that is sorted I get straight into the build.
To get the ball rolling, reply to this and we will lock in a time that suits you.
This proposal is an overview of the work, not a contract, and is valid for 30 days from the date above. All prices in AUD.
