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.
When you work with a large agency, your message often gets diluted through layers of people before it reaches the person doing the actual work. I offer a different approach — I translate your business goals into technical reality without the jargon filter.
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.

About Hamish
A Tasmanian web designer who works directly with you.
Based in Burnie, I work with businesses across Tasmania — from the northwest coast to Hobart and everywhere in between.
I've been building websites for over two decades. It started with a curiosity about how websites worked, which led me to study a Bachelor of Multimedia Studies at Central Queensland University (CQU). That foundation turned into a career, and eventually a business built on a simple approach — you deal directly with me from the first conversation to the final handover, and I'm still here when you need support down the track.
Every business I work with gets a site built around their specific goals. Not a theme with your logo swapped in — an actual custom design built to reflect what makes your business different and to turn visitors into customers. I specialise in website design, web development, and local SEO for small and medium businesses.
Why Tasmanian businesses choose to work with me
Working with a local web designer means you get someone who understands the Tasmanian market — the way people search for local businesses, what builds trust with a local audience, and what separates the businesses doing well online from the ones getting overlooked. I've worked with tradies in Devonport, hospitality businesses on the east coast, professional services firms in Hobart, and retailers across the northwest.
The result is always the same: a fast, professional website that's built to rank in Google, easy to update, and backed by someone who actually picks up the phone. If that sounds like what you've been looking for, get in touch — I'd love to hear about your project.
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.
About 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.
Can you fix or update my existing website?
Sometimes. If the code is relatively clean I can offer maintenance and fixes. However, if the site is built on an outdated theme or has security issues, it is often more cost-effective to rebuild it properly from scratch. I'll give you an honest assessment upfront.
Do you provide hosting?
Yes. I offer managed hosting on PHAS — fast Australian servers with data centres in Sydney and Melbourne. This includes SSL certificates, daily backups, uptime monitoring, and software updates — so you don't have to worry about the technical details.
Do you do graphic design as well?
Yes, I design every website I build. I can also help with basic logo design and branding for small businesses starting from scratch, or a visual refresh for an established brand.
