I'm Hamish, a web designer and developer on Tasmania's northwest coast. For over 20 years I've been building websites for businesses across the state, designed to bring in enquiries.
Every site is designed for your business, your customers, and your goals.
A website needs to do more than look good. It has to load fast, show up on Google, and make it easy for customers to act. That's my standard for every project.
What I do
Everything your business needs online — in one place.
From brand-new websites to ongoing digital support, all handled locally from Burnie.

Web Design & Development
Web design and digital services for Tasmanian businesses.
Whether you're a tradie in Burnie, a café owner in Launceston, or a professional services firm in Hobart, a well-built website is one of the most effective investments you can make in your business. I specialise in website design and web development for small and medium businesses across Tasmania, with a focus on sites that are fast, easy to find on Google, and built to turn visitors into customers.
Every project starts with understanding your business: who your customers are, what makes you different, and what you want your website to do. From there, I handle the design, build, SEO setup, and launch.
Services tailored to Tasmanian businesses
Need an online store? I build stores on Shopify, WooCommerce, Snipcart, OpenCart, Saleor and more, easy to manage and set up to sell. Want to be found in Google Search and Google Maps? My SEO service is designed for local businesses competing in the Tasmanian market. Once your site is live, a maintenance plan takes care of updates, backups, and security patches.
I work with clients across the state, from the northwest coast to Hobart and the east coast. See some recent projects, or check the pricing page for what things cost before you get in touch.
Where I work
Based in Burnie, serving all of Tasmania.
I make regular on-site visits across the northwest coast and work remotely with clients island-wide.
Home FAQ
Common questions,
straight answers.
Don't see your question? Send me a message and I'll reply within 24 hours.
How much does a website cost?
Packages are fixed-price at $2,000, $3,500 or $5,000 inc. GST. Custom projects are quoted individually, with no obligation.
Will I be able to update it myself?
Yes. Every site comes with video walkthroughs showing you how to update content, add pages and manage images without touching code. If you'd rather hand that off, I also offer maintenance plans.
How long does a website take?
Most package sites are delivered in 2–4 weeks from kick-off. Larger custom builds take 4–8 weeks, depending on complexity and how ready your content is.
Do you offer ongoing support?
Yes. Monthly maintenance plans cover updates, backups, security monitoring and support.
What do you need from me to get started?
Just a conversation. We start with a free discovery call about your business and goals, then I put together a proposal with scope, timeline and a fixed price. You don't need everything figured out before getting in touch.
