About Shop Of Shops

Who Are We?



Shop of Shops is a subsiduary of Ridge Technologies Australia, A specialised networking, communications and infrastructure organisation based in Melbourne, Australia


Shop Of Shops was developed to address a two-fold need in the market -- the first, being that not everyone needs eBay -- not all merchants are into auctioning off their services, nor are they interested in promoting someone else's platform.


The second, because there are so few recognized e-Commerce solutions that Small to Medium Enterprises (SME's) can use efficently and reliably, without the need for in-house technical staff or large amounts of training.

The Shop of Shops concept is the brainchild of Paul Drain, a world-leading security engineer with nearly 20 years experience in internet based security, e-security and e-commerce. He is also credited with a number of high level contributions to the popular Linux based operating platform at both a server and a desktop level, as well as being a lead developer of several widely adopted security projects.


Together with Leigh Street, himself an IT professional who has been designing and supporting business databases since the 1970's, primarily on large-scale applications including accounts and inventory management for some of the top networking companies in Australia -- Paul decided to take the stress out of people wanting to get online by offering a simple solution to a complicated problem.


Together with strategic partnerships with some of Australia's top graphic design firms and infrastructure developers -- Our support team includes Graphics Designers, Network specialists, and Database specialists who can assist you in every aspect of your new e-business, from changing the look of a page, to accessibility compliance -- our people can help you run your business more effectively without the need for your own dedicated IT staff.


Basically, our motto is simple:

"We make e-Commerce Extraordinarily Easy for Everyone"
