Yes. We build both, often on the same engagement. Whether it’s Shopify, WooCommerce or a custom cart, the store is integrated with the stock, payment and fulfilment systems you already run rather than bolted on as an afterthought.

It depends on scope, not a fixed rate card. We quote fixed-scope and fixed-price after an initial discovery conversation, so you know exactly what you’re paying for and what it includes before you sign anything.

Yes, this is one of the most common projects we run. We audit the existing site first, preserve what’s already working, and manage the migration with proper redirects so search equity carries across rather than resetting to zero.

Yes. Every site we build hands over full CMS access, and we make sure your team can manage content, prices and pages without needing a developer for routine changes.

It depends on complexity and how quickly feedback comes back from your side. We give you a realistic timeline at the discovery stage and keep you updated at every milestone rather than leaving you to guess.

Arcadian Digital builds AI systems, web applications and integrations for established Australian businesses in five core sectors: construction and manufacturing, energy and utilities, transport and logistics, retail and wholesale, and health and medical. What these clients have in common is operational complexity: several systems that need to work together, and expert knowledge that sits with a few people rather than in software.

Conversion rate, page speed and search visibility are the core measures, tracked from launch rather than added on later. If the site feeds into a broader growth strategy, our Growth Systems team can also help turn that traffic into pipeline.

Yes. We can build AI into a website or web application you’re already having us build, or integrate it with an existing platform, from a chatbot through to automation specific to your business, using the same in-house team rather than bringing in a separate AI vendor partway through the project. Our AI development and integrations work sits alongside web development and web application development, not separately, so if AI becomes part of the brief it’s scoped at the same times as the rest of the project.

You own the website. A website or web application is a business asset, and that asset is yours, not ours. It’s an investment in growing your business, and our role is simply to build and maintain it for you.

Support continues after launch. Every build includes a defined support period covering fixes and queries, and most clients transition to an ongoing support plan afterwards for maintenance, updates and change requests. The same in-house team that delivered the build also provides this support, ensuring continuity rather than requiring a new provider to be briefed on an unfamiliar system.

We treat platform and dashboard security as an ongoing practice, not a one-off step completed at launch. That covers:

• Patching and updates: keeping the frameworks, libraries and server images a dashboard runs on current, so known vulnerabilities are patched before they can be exploited, not after.
• Access control: permissioning by role, so each user and each connected system only has access to what it needs, with access reviewed periodically rather than forgotten about.
• Credential and secrets management: API keys and service account credentials rotated on a schedule, not left static indefinitely.
• Monitoring and logging: an audit trail of who accessed what and when, with alerts on any activity that looks unusual. 
• Encryption: data is encrypted both in transit and at rest, keeping it secure throughout the entire system, not just at entry.
• Scheduled reviews: a periodic vulnerability scan or manual review, depending on the risk profile of the system, rather than security being something only addressed at launch.

Security comes built into our ongoing support. The same team that engineered your system manages it, so keeping it secure isn’t an afterthought or an extra contract.
