Answers to the most common questions we get regarding our services in web design, social media management, social marketing and all the services our digital marketing company does.
General & Process
Focuses on timelines, platforms, and how the agency works.
How Long Does It Usually Take To Create A New Website?
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.
What Platform Do You Use To Build Websites?
Depending on our clients need we offer a variety of options under Joomla, Laravel, WordPress, Shopify, React, HTML5, OpenCart, Wix, Lovable, Squarespace, Webflow, Umbraco and beyond.
Our team you has covered.
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.
How does the website creation process works
The following gives you a general idea of the process we follow to build websites. We conduct an initial consultation to ascertain your vision and requirements and to ensure we can assist you. We send you a Web Development Questionnaire for you to complete.
On receival of the completed questionnaire we send you a detailed quote and time frame. On acceptance of the quote, we commence working with you to gather all the assets we require to get the build underway. On receival of all assets from you, we commence the build process. We regularly update you with design proofs for your feedback.
Upon approval of the overall design, we complete the backend build and enter all off your copy, images etc so the Website is complete and ready to go live. Upon your final approval, your Website goes live online.
Exciting! We train you on the backend editing system if you want to be able to self-edit the site. You watch your business grow!

What is a domain name & do I need one?
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.
What about hosting fees
We recommend you purchase your hosting package with us. That way we can give you full support in case of an emergency.

Pricing, Support & Logistics
What are your payment terms?
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.
What ongoing costs are there?
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.
Do you offer ongoing support?
