Diesel Heat
Ongoing development, security and maintenance for a busy WooCommerce store that sells, installs and services diesel appliances, including custom product pages and checkout, hosted on PHAS.
Overview
dieselheat.com.auDiesel Heat sells, installs and services diesel-powered appliances. The site is a busy WooCommerce store with real operational complexity: custom product configurations, non-standard checkout flows, stock and shipping integrations, and the constant work of keeping a public e-commerce site secure and current. I handle development end to end, plus security and maintenance.

The Project
A busy online store, properly looked after.
Diesel Heat needed WooCommerce extended well beyond its defaults, then kept secure and reliable as the business grew.
Diesel Heat's store is more complex than it looks. The range covers diesel heaters, cookers, and parts and accessories, all configurable, all with specific compatibility rules, and most needing detailed product information for customers who know what they're looking at.
Standard WooCommerce covers most of what a generic store needs and little of what a specialised one like this needs. The work has been steady customisation on the front end (custom product pages, search filters that understand the catalogue, a checkout that handles installation services and shipping diesel appliances) and the back end (integrations with the tools the team uses every day).
I also handle security and maintenance: keeping WordPress, WooCommerce and the long list of plugins current, watching for vulnerabilities, and stepping in when something needs urgent attention. The site is hosted in Australia on PHAS, with a separate staging environment for testing changes before they go live. The store takes orders around the clock, so the site has to be the last thing the team worries about.
