This can depend on many factors but the average build time from brief to going live is 4-6 weeks.

This can be quicker if you have all the assets required ready to go and may take longer should there be a delay in gaining all the information or in the case of major scope changes along the way.

NOTES: Gathering information / assets (eg: copy, images, videos etc) is the most common reason a website takes longer than it should. The more prepared you are with this information the quicker the build time. We have a comprehensive development questionnaire that will help you gather this information.

Depending on our clients need we offer a variety of options under Joomla, Laravel, WordPress, Shopify, React or HTML5, OpenCart.

However, we recommend and often use WordPress which is universally known as the best, most flexible platform available due to its extensive functionality and reliability.

Yes! Every site we build is mobile device friendly/responsive, meaning your website will look as good as it does on your desktop computer across all phones, tablets and mobile devices.

NOTE: Do not engage a web developer who does not offer this. With the use of mobile devices constantly rising combined with the importance Google place on websites being responsive, mobile responsiveness is key to your website’s success.

Regular Arrangement:

We invoice 50% of the total fee upfront to commence the build. The 50% balance is invoiced on completion of the site and before the go live date. Payment terms are 7 days from invoice.

Special Circumstances:

We understand small businesses and recognise that cash flow is often a hinderance in embarking on marketing projects like a new website. We want you to succeed online, so if required, we can negotiate a payment plan where we invoice you a set amount per month over a set number of months. We usually complete the build in less time but bill you over an agreed period.

To ensure optimum security and efficiency of your site, we highly recommend that your website is backed up and all plugins are updated at least monthly. We can provide this service for you at €99 per month.

This fee includes any minor tweaks you may wish to make to your site. For more extensive work after completion of your site, we would quote on an as needed basis. You are welcome to manage your own backups and updates.

If this is the case, there are no ongoing fees. TIP: A website should be integrated into your existing and long-term business goals and not considered a one-time marketing expense.

Budget for the initial cost of website design and development is needed, but also keep in mind that you may want to change or update your website just like you make changes and updates to your business direction.

A website that isn’t maintained and updated doesn’t do much for your brand.

Yes of course. If you require any ongoing support, we are here for you. We can tailor support services to suit your exact requirements. Please contact us to discuss further.

Your domain name is essentially your website’s online address and is the first step to getting your business online. So, yes you will need a domain name to create a website.

Your domain name is the address people type in to their browser to find your website eg:

www.koladigital.ie is typed in to find this website. You can register many types of domain names including;.i.e. .com, .com.au, .net.au, .org.au, .id.au, .eu, .co.uk, .asia, .nz. etc.

Most businesses based in Ireland will register a .ie domain name but we can help you decide on what is best for you. Domain names can cost as little as €5.99 per year.. It’s also important to consider that a domain name will be available in many formats.

www.yourdomainname.ie www.yourdomainname.com If some of the above domain types are not available when using your business name then it’s important to understand there may be other businesses that have the same or similar name to you.

It is worth researching who they are so there is no confusion when it comes to people searching for your products or services.

NOTE: Keep in mind when you are purchasing a domain name: Is it easy to spell? Does it fit with your company product, service or name? If it’s a long name, will it show up well when used in printed advertising? Recommended Domain Registrar: To protect your IP, we recommend you buy your own domain name, so you own this name and it is registered in your name. If you need help purchasing a domain name, we can assist and will quote on demand. Prices depend on the actual domain name you are wanting to buy. Please CONTACT US for assistance.

We recommend you purchase your hosting package with us. That way we can give you full support in case of an emergency.

We do work with websites hosted in other platforms, but we might be limited to some features. Full control  for us is always advice when it comes to managing or maintaining websites.

We make sure all our websites have SEO completed before launch. All of our sites are built in a Search Engine complaint way that includes basic SEO.

But for a more comprehensive and tailored SEO program we quote on request.
