D2C eCommerce Web Development Brisbane
Direct-to-Consumer (D2C, sometimes called B2C) eCommerce means selling your products straight to the end customer through your own online store, rather than through wholesalers, distributors, or retail partners.
I bring over a decade of D2C eCommerce expertise to brands like Culture Kings, All 4 Adventure, and Impact Office Supplies, building visually polished, user-friendly storefronts designed around your conversion rate.
Leveraging Shopify, Shopify Plus, Magento, and BigCommerce, I match your brand to the platform that will scale with you. Paired with growth-centric tools like Algolia for search, Klaviyo for email marketing, and Okendo for customer engagement, you are set up for success.
You’re in good company
Why choose me - Why choose me for your next D2C eCommerce Web Development project
Senior D2C eCommerce developer
Over 12 years of commercial experience, trusted by Culture Kings, All 4 Adventure, Impact Office Supplies, Burger Urge, and many more. You get the senior writing your code, not a junior learning the platform on your storefront.
Platform-agnostic
Experience across Shopify, Shopify Plus, Magento, BigCommerce, and headless commerce setups. I recommend the platform that fits your business, traffic, catalogue, and integrations, not the one that pays the highest affiliate kickback. Most agencies cannot say the same.
Conversion-focused storefronts
Real-time product search with merchandiser-tuned boosting, optimised cart and checkout flows, post-purchase upsells, and a tech stack designed around your conversion rate. Klaviyo, Algolia, Okendo, ReCharge, and the rest of the modern D2C stack integrated and tuned, not just installed.
Reliable and dependable
Specialised and personalised solutions that agencies cannot offer. Clear communication, reliable collaboration, and no account manager filtering questions in either direction.
Growth-focused improvements
Analytics-led storefront improvements: search relevance tuning, product page testing, conversion-rate optimisation, and integration of growth tools. Every change is measurable in revenue and average order value.
Long-term partnership
Most of my clients have been with me for five to seven years because the same developer who built the storefront keeps building, maintaining, and improving it. Optional website maintenance plans keep your store secure and up to date.

The Difference - Senior D2C eCommerce work. None of the agency layers.
Most agencies will recommend whichever platform pays the highest affiliate or partner kickback, then hand the storefront customisation to a junior copying themes from another project. I am platform-agnostic (Shopify Plus, Magento, BigCommerce, or headless) and I have shipped storefronts on all of them at production scale.
A typical agency
Platform pushed by affiliate kickback. Themes by juniors.
-
Platform recommendation is whichever vendor pays the highest affiliate or partner kickback, regardless of fit.
-
Storefront customisation is handed to juniors copying themes and snippets from the last project they shipped.
-
Communication is filtered through an account manager between you and the developer touching your store.
-
Third-party stack (Klaviyo, Algolia, Okendo, ReCharge) is installed with default settings by whichever developer was free that week.
-
After launch you are handed to a maintenance team you have never spoken to and have to re-explain the storefront.
-
“Maintenance” means bulk app updates pushed without testing checkout, cart, or product page flows.
Working with me
Right platform, senior on the build.
-
Platform recommendation comes from your business, traffic, catalogue, and integrations. I do not take affiliate fees, so my advice is yours alone.
-
I have shipped storefronts on Shopify Plus, Magento, BigCommerce, and headless setups. Conversion trade-offs are made by someone who has watched real customer flows.
-
You talk to me directly. Same person scopes, designs, builds, and stays for the maintenance years.
-
I have integrated and tuned each of these for production stores. The configuration is a deliberate choice, not a default install.
-
The same developer who built it stays with you. Most of my eCommerce clients have been around for five-plus years.
-
Each update is tested against the conversion-critical flows on staging before it ships to production.
“We have used Jonathan for a number of years to develop and maintain our rather complicated Online Portal and website. Jonathan is always extremely responsive to requests and proactive in ensuring our online presence is safe, presents well and is functional to our customers needs. We would definitely recommend Jonathan for your custom web development needs.”
“Digital Bird is my first pick for delivering web projects on time, on budget and to the brief — every time. Beyond being a delight to work with, Jonathan Bird is that rare breed of developer who is both masterful on the tools (an absolute Laravel whizz!) while also being adept at engaging the client in UX-thinking, to which he applies expert insights, gained through years of experience, to help further improve the end design for the target user’s experience. This powerful combination of skills means that 4 years on and a variety of projects later (from search directories to corporate website developments), Digital Bird firmly remains my first pick for developer.”
“We’ve been working with Jonathan Bird for our website maintenance, and he has been nothing short of exceptional. Jonathan consistently goes above and beyond, responding quickly whenever we need help and resolving issues with impressive turnaround time. His communication is clear and thorough — he always explains what the problem was, how he fixed it, and provides helpful recommendations for long-term solutions. It’s rare to find someone this reliable and proactive. Highly recommend!”
“Digital Bird has had a huge influence on our business providing many solutions besides just a fantastic reliable website. Jonathan is great to work with and has a solution to every challenge. Jonathan also has the ability to “dumb it down” and provide timely advice and assistance if something goes astray. With Jonathan we have in excess of 99% uptime on all three websites.”
“Exceptional. Jonathan goes above and beyond. Fantastic communication and phenomenal efficiency. His client service is second to none. I’m so glad our CEO made the decision to engage Digital Bird Pty Ltd. Cannot recommend highly enough.”
“Was an absolute pleasure to work with Jonathan. Could not be happier with our new website! Professional, responsive, brilliant communication from the beginning to go live. If you are fortunate enough to be in a conversation with Jonathan for a new site - just do it!”
“I’ve worked with Jonathan from Digital Bird for several years and found him to be a highly competent developer who often exceeds expectations. Together, we’ve collaborated on a number of medium-sized platforms serving hundreds of thousands of users, including learning management systems, a widely-used school well-being platform, trade promotion competition sites, and more. Jonathan is very skilled in API and platform integration, payment systems (such as Stripe), AWS, internet security, and more. As a Project Manager/Product Owner, I feel very confident working with Jonathan and recommending his services to our clients.”
“Highly recommend Jonathan for anything web development in Brisbane and Australia-wide. Have worked with a lot of developers over the years and Jonathan’s work and communication on projects has been a clear standout. A very talent developer if you’re looking for anything from WordPress, Shopify, Laravel, or anything in-between.”
“Jonathan Bird is one of the best I have worked with in this space. He is responsive, clever and contributes to the brief, and most importantly, he is a great person to work with. It can be hard to find the right people who can take on something and lift it to another dimension. Jonathan does that and more.”
“Jonathan Bird was instrumental in redesigning my business’ website and provided invaluable feedback throughout the entire process. The results far exceeded my expectations. They then went above and beyond and met all deadlines in revamping the site again, when we re branded our business. Jonathan has been managing our website updates and hosting ever since and, with more than 10 years industry experience, is always able to add value, solve problems and exceed expectations. I highly recommend him.”
