What Digital8 does

Digital8 is a Brisbane-based, privately held full-service digital agency operating as Digital8 Holding Co Pty Ltd, delivering websites, mobile applications, UX/UI design, and digital marketing to Australian government agencies, corporates, not-for-profits, and SMBs. Founded around 2012 with a team of 20+ in-house specialists, the company has completed over 350 projects, including high-visibility work for the Australian Taxation Office, Queensland Health, SEQ Water, Bond University, Qscan Group, and Argent Australia. Its technology stack spans React Native for cross-platform mobile apps, Laravel and React for custom web applications, Drupal and WordPress for content management (including WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility-compliant multisite builds), Shopify, WooCommerce, and Neto for e-commerce, and enterprise CMS platforms Kentico (Bronze Partner) and Sitecore, with managed WordPress hosting delivered via a WP Engine partnership.

The agency generates revenue through a mix of project-based fees and recurring retainers. Website projects range from AUD $8,000 for WordPress sites to AUD $100,000+ for complex Drupal enterprise builds; mobile app projects start around AUD $40,000; UX/UI design starts at AUD $3,500; and monthly digital marketing retainers run AUD $2,999 to AUD $9,999 (90-day minimum commitment), supplemented by AUD $75/month managed WordPress hosting. Go-to-market is sales-led, relying on direct consultation, phone outreach (1300 382 777), website quote requests, and in-person meetings at its Brisbane offices in West End and South Brisbane, with content marketing, SEO, Google Ads, and case studies serving as top- and mid-funnel demand generation.

Digital8 positions itself as an end-to-end partner with in-house design, development, and marketing capabilities, and emphasizes accessibility compliance, system integration expertise (NetSuite ERP, Omnisend, HubSpot, NDIS databases), and domain specialization in healthcare, Indigenous services, and government procurement. The company operates exclusively in the Australian market, with no disclosed international footprint, funding rounds, acquisitions, or ownership changes in the available data.
