General Questions
When would I need to speak with the local team?
To ensure the most efficient and accurate outcome, we encourage you to talk directly with our team members, regardless of their location. For website design and development tasks, you will talk to our remote team; for content creation and search engine optimisation, you will talk to our local team in Australia. For all other matters, you are welcome to speak with your Australian account manager.
How will I communicate with your team?
To make it easier for you to communicate with our team members, you can contact our team by phone, email, Slack, Skype or TeamViewer. We have direct phone numbers for both the Australia and the Philippines.
Will I be able to work directly with your team members?
Yes, of course! To ensure a smooth experience and quality of work, we encourage direct communication with our team. You can call them directly, email them, chat with them or organise an online meeting.
How well do your team members speak English?
All of our offshore team members are highly educated from the Philippines (where English is their second language), we can assure you they are fluent in their English communication. Our team is managed by Australian owners and deal directly with Australian clients – they are very familiar with the way we talk and use our language.
Is there any type of business that you won’t work with?
At White Label Media, we are more than happy to work with anyone. However, we work with team members across nationalities, cultures and religions. When taking on work, we take into consideration the cultural sensitivities of our staff and therefore maintain the right to reject any work that is considered pornographic, criminal or offensive in any way.
Will I need to pay a deposit before you can start?
For new partnerships, we require 50% deposit prior to commencement of work and the remaining balance just prior to launch. However, for partners that have at least 6 months trading history with us, we can move you to a monthly billing account.
What are your payment terms?
For partners with at least 6 months trading history with us, we can offer you 14 days trading terms. We will invoice you at the end of the month, which you will have 14 days to pay.
For new partners, a 50% deposit is required prior to commencement of work with the remaining balance due prior to launch.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept electronic bank transfer payments and credit card payments, including Visa, Mastercard, AMEX and Diners. However, credit card payments incur a surcharge.
On average, how much does each service cost?
We keep things simple. For website development and graphic design work, which is carried out by our remote team, we charge $33 per hour; for copywriting and search engine optimisation, which is carried out by our local team, we charge $99 per hour. All pricing is quoted in Australian dollars and inclusive of GST.
Upon discussing the project brief with you, we will provide you with a firm quote. We won’t charge you for anything that we didn’t discuss and if there is a change in the scope that results in additional charges, we will discuss these with you first.
When can my client expect to see results?
This will depend on the requirements of the project. We can give you preview date before we start the project. In the meantime, we will give you access to the staging site where you can check on its progression. For most website development projects, you can expect to see something within a week.
What happens if my client isn’t satisfied with the work?
At White Label Media, we appreciate that our work will reflect on you. Whilst we make every effort to ensure a smooth experience and high quality work, we realise that sometimes will want changes made. If you or your client isn’t happy with our work, we will make the necessary revisions to ensure the best possible outcome.
What makes you different from other outsourcing companies?
White Label Media is different: we pride ourselves on the quality of our work, the professionalism of our staff, clear communication with our clients and absolute discretion in our work. As an Australian-owned company and an overseas team of professionals, we can offer you high quality work at highly competitive prices; all the while, conforming to Australian laws and standards.
How does an Australian outsourcing company compare to one overseas?
As an Australian company, we are subject to Australian laws and trading requirements. This means we trade in Australian dollars and subject to GST; but more importantly, it means we are subject to Australian intellectual property and privacy laws.
We also quality assure our work to Australian standards and expectations; we select the most qualified and suitable team members; and provide inhouse training and best practices to ensure the highest quality of work.
Do you charge GST?
Yes, we do charge GST. All of our prices are quoted in Australian dollars inclusive of GST. You will obviously be able to claim this back on your BAS.
Will you ever approach my customers?
No. At White Label Media, we understand that your customers are yours. We will never approach any of your customers. We will only communicate with you and we will maintain absolute discretion at all times.
Who owns the intellectual property?
You. Once you’ve paid for the work, the intellectual property ownership are handed over to you; and you’re free to manage it as you see fit.
