Their prices, cart and checkout lived on a rented print platform at a different address. We rebuilt all 83 priced products inside their own WooCommerce site with a custom pricing engine, then designed and built a new theme around it.
See the before and after“A great experience from start to finish.”
I’m really pleased with the new website Breeze Web built for Northside Print and Design. They got it up and running in an impressively short time, while still giving the finer details plenty of attention. The finished site looks fantastic, and I’m proud to have it representing my business.
Communication was excellent throughout the project. Whenever I had a question or needed something adjusted, Breeze Web was quick to get back to me and help work through it. Their experience and knowledge were clear from the outset, which gave me confidence that the project was in good hands.
I’d happily recommend Breeze Web to anyone looking for a website for their business.

The brief
A website that sent customers away to buy
The WordPress site had 96 products, but each one was only a link. Buy sent customers to a rented print platform with its own design, cart and checkout.
The brief: bring the shop home, with no change to what anything cost.
Before
After
Part 1 · The pricing engine
Rebuilding how a print shop prices a job
Every size and quantity has its own price. Options add on top and change with the quantity, and rules hide options that don't apply. WooCommerce can't do that, so we built a pricing plugin with its own tables. Every job is priced on the server, so totals can't be tampered with.
Try it. This uses the real price table for Premium Business Cards, the same rows the live site uses.

Part 2 · The redesign
A new theme, built from the mockups
Designed as HTML mockups for every page type, then built as a custom WordPress theme with no page builder. The client edits everything from the normal WordPress screens, and all 111 suburb pages kept their text for search.
The whole home page, desktop and phone. Hover or scroll inside each one to move through it.
On a phone
Every page was designed at phone width alongside desktop, including the configurator, cart and artwork upload.
