FAQ
What's the creative process?
You can view our creative process here
Timeframe?
The time frame for these packages is approx 12 weeks. This varies based on the client’s responsiveness throughout the process. Once your grant is approved, please let us know and we’ll send you an initial questionnaire. We may request any other materials from you, prior to the start date of your project!
What is Shopify, WordPress or Squarespace?
In simple terms, these are online software programs we design your website in. In geeky terms they’re CMS (Content Management Systems) that allow you to update parts of your website on your own.
What if I don't have a domain name?
That’s totally ok! We can help you register one, just let us know your preffered domain name when you complete our initial questionnaire. Domain names cost from $49+gst
What extra costs might I have with a website?
If you choose Package 2 – you will need to subscribe to Shopify’s service. You can view Shopify’s pricing is here. A website also needs consistent care and love! So there may be times when you may need to do software updates to your plugins or CMS platform. We do offer on-going technical support at our hourly rate of $115+gst. If you choose Pagae 1 and need plugin updates this may also be an additional cost to the third party provider. Please ask us about this if you have any concerns.
