Web design Hobart sells past the strait.
DIGITALON designs and builds custom WordPress and WooCommerce websites for Hobart businesses. One Australian team handles the design, the build, the hosting and the support for a fixed price agreed before any work starts.
Built for two sets of buyers.
A Hobart business usually has two audiences at once. There are people already here — residents around the Derwent, workers in the city and the port, visitors who booked a bed before they booked anything else — and there are mainland and overseas buyers who will never walk past your door and can only judge you by the website.
We build for both. Booking, opening hours and location details stay easy to find for the person standing in Salamanca with a phone, while delivery, postage and lead-time information is written plainly for the buyer in Melbourne or Perth deciding whether ordering from Tasmania is worth it.
Two intents, one site.
Half your visitors want to visit or book this week. The other half want to know what it costs to send something across Bass Strait.
- Where you are and when you are open
- What you make and what it costs
- How it reaches a mainland address
Answer before the doubt.
Distance is the objection. A page that handles shipping, timing and booking up front removes it before the reader leaves.
- Clear postage and delivery terms
- Booking or enquiry that works on a phone
- One page per product range or service
What every DIGITALON website includes.
The same Australian team designs, builds, hosts and supports the site, so nothing in the list below is quoted again later.
Designed for your business, not a theme
Every page is designed from scratch in WordPress around what you sell and who buys it. You are not picking a template and hoping your content fits it.
Built to be found
Clean structure, fast pages, sensible headings and metadata come as standard. Keyword research and on-page SEO are included from Standard, and AI search optimisation at Premium.
Readable on the phone first
Most local searches happen on a phone. Layouts, menus, forms and buttons are checked at desktop, tablet and phone widths before the site goes live.
Yours to edit
You get the admin login, a site you can update yourself and 1:1 training at Premium. If you would rather not touch it, our maintenance packages cover the updates for you.
Hosted and supported in Australia
Australian cloud hosting, SSL, nightly backups and a support team you can reach by phone or email, with no offshore help desk in between.

How we work with Hobart businesses.
DIGITALON is based at Wurtulla on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland, and we work with Hobart clients over video calls, screen sharing, email and the phone. We do not claim a Hobart office or Tasmanian staff, and nothing is passed to an overseas team.
Time zones are simple for part of the year and worth planning around for the rest: Tasmania and Queensland share a clock over winter, and through daylight saving Hobart runs an hour ahead of our desk, so an early-afternoon call suits both ends.
Australian team, one point of contactTalk to the people building it
You deal directly with the designer and developer doing the work, not an account manager passing messages along.
Fixed scope in writing
The page map, price and inclusions are agreed before we start, so the final invoice is the number you approved.
Shipping and booking sorted early
Postage rules, lead times and booking details are settled during the build, not patched in after launch.
Support after launch
Training, maintenance packages and Australian hosting come from the same team that built the site.
We deliver. You celebrate.
A website build runs on a short, predictable path. Most sites take one to three weeks to a first version, then move at the pace of your feedback.
Talk it through
We ask what the business does, who you want to reach and what the website has to achieve.
Agree the plan
You get a fixed price, a page map and a content outline, with placeholders where you need them.
Design and build
We design the pages, build them in WordPress and check them at every screen size.
Review and launch
Three rounds of revisions on structure and content, then launch, training and support.
Work we have designed and built.
These are websites our team designed and built. They are examples of completed work, not a promise of the same result for every business.

What attracted us to DIGITALON is their promise to make sites that work. They absolutely delivered on this.
Hobart web design questions.
Prices, shipping, booking, timing, search and life after launch.
Ask us about your websiteWhat does a new website cost for a Hobart business?
Our fixed one-off prices are $2,990 for Essentials (5 custom-designed pages), $3,990 for Standard (10 pages) and $4,990 for Premium (20 pages). All prices are in Australian dollars and include GST.
Design, build, stock images, plugin licences and training are covered, so there is no second invoice for the parts that make the site work. Full inclusions are on our website design pricing page.
Does being in Tasmania change the price or the process?
No. The same published prices apply everywhere in Australia, and the whole project runs over calls, screen sharing and email, so nothing depends on which side of Bass Strait you are on.
Which package suits a small operator trading from Hobart?
If you need home, about, services and contact pages, Essentials is enough. Standard suits a business with several product ranges or services and adds keyword research and on-page SEO. Premium suits a business that keeps publishing, and adds AI search optimisation.
We ship produce and goods to the mainland — can the site handle postage properly?
Yes. Our eCommerce builds run on WooCommerce and start at $4,990 for a six-page store, $5,990 for ten pages and $7,990 for twenty. Shipping rules, zones, weight or item-based postage, customer logins and payments are configured during the build, so a Melbourne or Perth buyer sees a real delivery cost before checkout. See eCommerce website development.
Can the site take bookings for a tour, table or room?
Yes. We set up a booking or enquiry flow that works on a phone and sits where visitors expect it. If you already use a booking or reservation system, we build the site around it rather than replacing something that already takes your money reliably.
How far ahead of the visitor season should we start?
Most sites take one to three weeks from project start to a first version, and the pace after that depends on how quickly you give feedback. If you want the new site settled and indexed before your busy months, starting a couple of months out is comfortable. Three rounds of revisions on structure and content are included.
We have photos but no written copy — is that a problem?
No, and it is the usual starting point. We send a content outline explaining what each page needs and work with placeholder text until your words arrive, so design never stalls waiting on copy. Good photography of the product, the place or the people is usually the harder half, and you already have it.
Will the site be built to compete for Hobart searches?
Standard and Premium include keyword research and on-page SEO, so the pages are structured around the terms your customers actually type, including mainland buyers searching for Tasmanian suppliers. No one can promise a position on Google. Continuing work on rankings is a separate service — see ongoing SEO.
Can you rebuild our existing site without losing the pages that already bring enquiries?
Yes. We keep the pages that already earn traffic, redirect the old addresses to the new ones and carry across the page titles and descriptions that are working. A website redesign is scoped the same way as a new build.
Who keeps it running once we are live?
You can update it yourself with the admin login, or hand that to us. Our maintenance packages cover WordPress and plugin updates, backups, security and support, and Australian hosting is available alongside them.
