service
I'm Hamish, a web designer and digital specialist based in Burnie on Tasmania's beautiful northwest coast. For over two decades I've been helping local businesses across the state build a strong online presence — the kind that actually drives enquiries.
Working with me means you deal directly with the person doing the work. No account managers, no offshore teams, no cookie-cutter templates. Every project is designed specifically for your business, your customers, and your goals.
I believe a great website isn't just good-looking — it needs to load fast, rank on Google, and make it easy for customers to take action. That's the standard I hold every project to.

Web Design & Development
Web design and digital services for Tasmanian businesses.
From brand-new websites to ongoing digital support — all handled locally from Burnie, Tasmania.
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 actually do. From there, I handle the design, build, SEO setup, and launch. No templates, no offshore teams. Just a local web designer who treats your project like it matters.
Services tailored to Tasmanian businesses
Beyond website design, I offer a full range of digital services under one roof. Need an online store? I build stores on all popular platforms — Shopify, WooCommerce, Snipcart, OpenCart, Saleor and more — straightforward to manage and optimised to sell. Looking to get found in Google Search and Google Maps? My SEO and performance service is designed specifically for local businesses competing in the Tasmanian market. And once your site is live, an ongoing maintenance plan means you never have to worry about updates, backups, or security patches.
I work with clients across the entire state — from the northwest coast through to Hobart, the east coast, and everywhere in between. Take a look at some recent projects or head to the pricing page if you'd like to understand what things cost before getting 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 what you're looking for? Send me a message and I'll get back to you personally — usually within a few hours.
How much does a website cost?
Fixed-price packages start from $1,500 — full details on the pricing page. For custom projects I will provide a tailored quote with no obligation.
Will I be able to update it myself?
Yes. Every site comes with a CMS walkthrough so you can update content, add pages, and manage images without touching code. I also offer maintenance plans if you would prefer to hand that off entirely.
How long does it take?
Most package projects are delivered in two to four weeks from kick-off. Larger custom builds typically take 4–8 weeks depending on complexity and content readiness.
Do you offer ongoing support?
Absolutely. Monthly maintenance plans cover updates, backups, security monitoring, and support. You are never left to figure it out alone after launch.
What do you need from me to get started?
Just a conversation. A free discovery call to understand your business and goals. From there I will put together a clear proposal with scope, timeline, and a fixed price. You do not need to have everything figured out before reaching out.
