Website
FAQs
How long will my website take to be built?
Your website goes through various stages which can found on our processes link on the footer. Here is a basic guideline on the speed which we operate, assuming you have content ready to do:
- Brochure websites – 2 to 4 weeks
- Ecommerce websites – 4 to 6 weeks
- One page websites – 1 week
Of course the speed is directly proportioned to your concise feedback and rounds of changes. If we deal with 3rd parties you can expect a slow down as the communication barriers are increased through extra party involvement.
What do I need to give hand over to you?
Any website briefs, notes and other items which will help our project managers, designers and developers help would be useful.
It will be necessary to have logins to your domain name. If you cant remember the logins or domain details we will figure a solution for you.
Is my website built in Australia or off-shored?
We build all our websites from our Australian, Melbourne, Swanston Street office. Pop in and say hello. We have experiemented with offshore partners, and it just didn’t suit our Australian clients for just some of the following reasons:
- Communication barriers (time-zones, cultural, definitions of the same word English language)
- Intellectual Property remains in Australia
- Quality control can be lost
- Quality & speed, we feel that nothing screams service like a good old fashioned meeting with your development team
As a tech company we have tried many different development options and the best one we have found are meetings with clients with our development team in Australia.
The biggest reason we do things in Australia is communication, simple.
I am interstate, how can we communicate effectively?
Over 60% of our clients are Australia wide while we are in Melbourne. With the remaining 40% Melbourne clients we find a smaller percentage actually meet us in person.
The tools of the trade are common tools you may be familair with:
- Screen sharing software such as GoTo Meeting or Skype (free) are great to discuss creative designs and programming flaws
- Phone is the first point of contact
- Emails with detailed screenshots are important
What if I don’t like what I see?
As mentioned previously your feedback is taken seriously from our end. There could have been a miscommuincation mishap along the way. Don’t worry, we can fix anything so here is what we do:
- Contact your project manager and email your concerns
- We identify the error and send to the right department to find out what happened
- If it’s our fault and under our 14 day warranty we will fix bugs at no cost to you
- If its non-technical and is design/creative related we will recommence the creative cycle which you will need to pay before we start again

DESKTOP
- 23 inch Windows machine: Google Chrome & Firefox
