A good website still does most of the selling for Hobart businesses, whether that is a winery in the Derwent Valley taking cellar door bookings, a Sandy Bay physio filling appointments or a Tasmanian government agency publishing accessible information.

The web design agencies in Hobart on this list all work from Greater Hobart, and they range from developers building public transport and emergency apps to one person studios that design, write and host small business sites.

Our guide to website costs in Australia explains what drives price, from page count and integrations to ecommerce and custom functionality.

When comparing quotes, check who owns the site and domain, which platform it is built on, how it will be hosted and maintained, and whether SEO basics are included from launch.

Best Web Design Agencies In Hobart

1. Ionata — Davey Street Digital Product Studio Behind The TasAlert App

Ionata works from 32a Davey Street in Hobart, with a second studio in Collingwood, Melbourne. It says it has spent more than 25 years building websites, apps and digital products, and its work spans web design, app development and larger digital platforms, with a particular focus on accessible websites for independent schools and not-for-profits.

Ionata is the strongest option here for organisations with complex requirements. Its projects include the TasAlert emergency notification app, real-time bus tracking for Metro Tasmania, the West Coast Wilderness Railway, Recycle Rewards and Melbourne Geelong Grammar School, and Metro Tasmania’s CEO provides a testimonial on its site. That record with public safety and transport systems suits government agencies, schools and large organisations that need accessibility, integrations and long-term support. Pricing is not published, and projects begin through an enquiry form.

2. Getbusi — Davey Street Developer Building Websites, Apps And Shopify Stores Since 2002

Getbusi is a Hobart developer on Level 1 at 61 Davey Street that says it has been solving business problems with technology since 2002. It builds websites, mobile apps, Shopify stores and custom digital workspaces, offers Squarespace starter sites, and also provides IT support covering email, cloud, security and device setup.

Its clients include wineries, distilleries, fashion labels, law firms, government departments, charities and hospitals, and named projects include Hobart Walking Club, Inland Fisheries Service, Smitten Merino, Stargazer Wines, King Island Distillery and Catholic Education Tasmania, as well as medical apps such as the Eye Emergency Manual. Getbusi suits owners who want to manage their own site after launch: it trains clients on their systems and says it avoids lock-ins and proprietary traps. Pricing is agreed upfront with a clear scope, and it offers a free one hour consult.

3. Kings Digital — Elizabeth Street Agency Designing Sites For MyState Bank And Hobart Airport

Kings Digital is based on Level 2 at 9 Elizabeth Street in the Hobart bus mall. Its web work combines digital design, including brand development and UI and UX, with web development, and it sits within a wider offer of digital strategy and marketing. The agency lists Google Partner, Meta Business Partner and Shopify Partner status.

Kings suits established organisations that want a site designed around their brand and backed by a marketing plan. Its client list includes Hobart Airport, MyState Bank, AnglicareTAS, St Lukes, the Tasmania Devils and Healthy Heads, and its case studies cover projects for Pickle Plumbing, Artable, Seedlab and Ernest Cutler Constructions. Shopify Partner status makes it an option for Tasmanian retailers moving online, while the strategy team helps align the site with campaigns. The office has no on-site parking, so plan to use a nearby car park for meetings.

4. Gloo Advertising — Murray Street Agency Building Sites Alongside Brand Identity Work

Gloo Advertising is based on Level 11 at 39 Murray Street. Its web team handles UX and UI design, development, content planning, maintenance, hosting and SEO, while the wider agency covers brand strategy, naming, logo design, visual identity, campaigns, photography and video.

Gloo is a good fit when a website is part of a rebrand or a broader campaign, since naming, identity and the site can come from one team. Its portfolio includes the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra, Derwent Sailing Squadron, Mac Point, Healthology Medical Centre, the Migrant Resource Centre, Hazell Bros and Millingtons. The agency also offers ongoing maintenance and hosting after launch, which suits organisations without in-house web staff. Content planning is part of the web process, so page structure and messaging are worked out before design starts rather than patched in at the end. Pricing is not published.

5. Wakeford Digital — Liverpool Street Webflow And Shopify Partner For Small Businesses

Wakeford Digital works from the ABC Building on Liverpool Street. Previously trading as Domin8 Designs and Domin8 Media, it says its team has more than 15 years of experience and has worked with over 100 local clients. It designs affordable, mobile-friendly sites for local businesses and is a Webflow partner and Shopify Partner, with SEO, videography and logo design available in house.

Wakeford suits trades, tourism operators and small businesses that want a site built with search in mind from day one. Its case studies include a rebuild for Moonah Mufflers that it says reached first place on Google for “exhaust shop Hobart”, a custom site for Kuuma Nature Sauna and a redesign for Rock Electrical. Other clients include 1000 Hearts, Ninja Stadium and Wilson Security. It offers set packages for small businesses as well as tailored quotes, and says it uses no lock-in contracts.

6. Conrad Design — Hobart Graphic And Web Design Studio Founded In 2005

Conrad Design is a Hobart studio established in 2005 by Conrad Thunig, who holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts majoring in Graphic Design from the University of Tasmania and has more than 20 years of design experience. The studio handles logo and identity design, branding, website design and development including ecommerce and copywriting, hosting and site management, and search marketing.

Its main strength is continuity: clients deal with one person from first brief to launch, which suits sole traders, small practices and community groups that want a consistent look across their logo, print and website. Because the studio also writes copy and hosts sites, a small business can hand over the whole job. It mentions small business hosting packages on request and also offers press advertising design, so one designer can keep a brand consistent across print and web. No prices are listed, and quotes are arranged through a form that asks about your budget.

7. BrokenImage Creative — Hobart Studio That Launched 30 Websites In 2022

BrokenImage Creative is a Hobart studio that designs and develops websites and offers hosting and custom email, alongside branding, photography, video, SEO and advertising. A 2022 year in review on its site reports 30 websites launched and 17 logo and branding projects that year.

The studio suits businesses that need new imagery as well as a new site, since it can shoot the photos and video in house. Its portfolio includes CBC Custom Building, Goodman Conveyancing, North Hobart Pharmacy, Medhurst Kitchen Equipment, Sticker Warehouse, RKD Headwear and Coastline Tours, plus work for the Department of State Growth. Testimonials come from clients such as Crescon Joinery, J.B Lawyers and Swim Central New Town, and one credits the studio with roughly doubling its SEO results over a year. Hosting and custom email can be bundled, so a small firm has one supplier for the whole web presence. Pricing is by proposal.

8. GOOP Digital — Macquarie Street Office Building SEO-Ready Sites With Copywriting

GOOP Digital has a Hobart office on Level 3 at 85 Macquarie Street, alongside its Geelong base, and says it has been operating since 2007. Its website service covers design, development, copywriting, SEO and AI visibility, and it also offers logo design, graphic design and photography.

GOOP suits regional businesses that want a site written and optimised for search rather than just designed. It reports that 86% of its clients get most of their traffic from mobile, which shapes how it builds, and that every client receives an annual review. Named clients include Champion Blinds, Salt Electrical and Pearls & Roses Bridal, and it keeps a separate portfolio of Tasmanian work. It also lists Google Partner qualification and can add Google Ads and social campaigns once the site is live, which saves briefing a second agency. Pricing is quoted on enquiry.

9. Tastechy — Hobart Web Studio With Business Websites Published From $1,200 Plus GST

Tastechy is a Hobart web design and digital marketing business established in 2024. It publishes its pricing: business websites from $1,200 plus GST, Shopify and WooCommerce stores from $2,500, mobile and web apps from $5,000, and integrations and automation from $1,500. Domain and hosting are extra on the starter package.

It suits new businesses that want a clear price before talking to anyone. The company says it has delivered more than 50 projects and offers a free 30 minute strategy call. As a newer business with a partly remote team, it has a shorter track record than most here, so ask for recent Tasmanian examples and check what each package includes, since some services are priced separately from the bundles. Its Growth package pairs a $3,500 plus GST setup with an $800 monthly marketing retainer for businesses that want ongoing support.

10. 42 Digital — Morrison Street Agency Building Sites With In-House Photo And Video

42 Digital is headquartered on Morrison Street in Hobart and builds websites alongside SEO, Google Ads, social media, email, photography and videography. Each client is assigned a dedicated account manager and receives plain English monthly reports.

It suits businesses that want the website and the marketing that follows from the same team, with original photos and video shot locally. Client logos include Henty, Smitten, Solstice and Keep Tas Wild, and case studies cover Pole Divas, Florage with Tasmanian Hamper Co, Harrington Road and Channel Tech Support. The agency says it works with only one business per industry in each area, so you will not share your web team with a direct competitor. Because the same account manager looks after SEO, ads and email, the site can be planned around the campaigns that will drive traffic to it. It offers a free discovery call and quotes on request.

How To Choose A Web Design Agency In Hobart

Who Will Own The Website, Domain And Hosting?

Make sure your domain is registered in your business name and that you have admin access to the site and hosting. Ask whether the site is built on an open platform such as WordPress, Shopify or Webflow, or on a proprietary system that is hard to move. Agencies such as Getbusi state upfront that they avoid lock-ins.

What Does A Website Cost In Hobart?

Published prices among the agencies here start at about $1,200 plus GST for a small business site and $2,500 for an online store, while custom builds and app work are quoted after scoping. Ask for a fixed quote that lists page count, features, content, training and what ongoing support costs.

Is The Site Accessible And Built For Mobile?

Government, education and health organisations in Tasmania need sites that meet accessibility standards, and most visitors will arrive on a phone. Ask how the agency tests accessibility and mobile performance, and request examples of accessible sites it has built.

Who Writes The Content And Takes The Photos?

Content is the most common cause of delays. Check whether copywriting and photography are included, and whether the agency can shoot locally, for example at your shop in North Hobart or your vineyard in the Huon Valley. Studios with in-house photographers can save weeks.

What Support Is Available After Launch?

Ask about maintenance plans, security updates, backups and response times, and whether you will be trained to make your own edits. A site that is never updated slowly loses search visibility, so plan for ongoing care from the start.

Conclusion

Hobart’s web design scene covers everything from Ionata’s transport and emergency apps to Getbusi’s practical small business builds and Conrad Design’s one designer service. Kings Digital, Gloo Advertising and Wakeford Digital sit in between, pairing design with marketing.
