FAQ's

See some of the most frequently asked questions we come across in our day to day dealings with clients. If your question is not answered here please feel free to contact us and we will do our best to assist in answering your questions.

How much does it cost to build a website?

The short answer to this is: How long is a piece of string?

The bottom line on the cost of the building of a website encompasses many facets amongst which are the following, which will determine the final outcome in pricing:

The type of business you are in.
What do you wish to achieve from your website build?
Is your website merely an online presence or do you want your website to work for you and generate an income by way of an online shop?
Do you have all of your own collateral to provide to us for the build of your website or do you require us to source copy, design logos and various elements for your website.

This is only a short list of questions you need to think about but already a great determining factor in bottom line pricing for your new website or a website rebuild.

Can I send you images which I took using my mobile phone?

Are there going to be 3rd party costs to my website?

Do I Own My Website Content?

Once you have paid in full for the development of your website, the website becomes your property however 3rd party licensing for components is renewable annually. What this all means is that should you elect to move your website and content to a new service provider other than 1807, you will be free to do so but you will require 3rd party licensing for components where necessary.

1807 Digital only uses professional template builders and components in the process of developing clients' websites.

How experienced is 1807Digital?

Been around the block, got the entire T-shirt factory. Been in the business since 1998, began in hospitality and ventured into commercial and never looked back.

Took a hit with CoVID and realised that there was a chance to grow exponentially so moved into the world of online shopping and love it.

Love what we do, work with fantastic partners and there's NOTHING we will not take on. We have the greatest clients and are lucky enough to be able to pick who we want to work with.

Why do I need to provide you with a budget for my website project?

So that we have a baseline from which to work and know what we are able to offer you for the budget in question. It does not take 30 minutes to work out a quote.

We have clients coming to us with "great expectations" only to find out that their budget can never if ever meet the costs.

Be realistic, we are and we want to help you. Your project can begin small and can grow as your budget expands. We build with components which allow us to do exactly that for our clients.

Can I edit my own website content?

A reasonable question but there's no easy answer for this. Most people believe that it's a doddle to edit and update websites and all will be well.

Ask yourself this before embarking on the "I want to do this all myself" thing. Are you in the business of website development or the business of growing your own business? When you are able to answer this question honestly then come back to us and we'll discuss what your limitations are going to be.

What Our Clients Say

Tamlin

★★★★★

Client

After working with several different website companies over the last 3 years, I knew I needed the best possible person to work with who could understand my brand and its intricacies alongside my long-term vision of where I wanted my business to be.

Barbara was the only person who had a full command over the intricacies of websites and understood my entire situation very clearly from the onset.

She clearly laid out a strategy to achieve the best possible results for my businesses, explaining every last detail to me.

Nothing was ever a problem for her, nothing was ever impossible. Barbara worked tirelessly on this explaining every last detail willingly.
Barbara stands by her commitments and her clients and filled every request I could have possibly made.

It is an absolute privilege that I get to work with her.

Where else in the world do you find an agency who is shooting remotely and still makes a plan to help you out by finding a decent WiFi and making website changes for you on a long weekend? Not many of those around. You cannot go wrong. Thank you!
