Hobart, Tasmania
Websites for Hobart businesses, built up the highway and live within a week.
We take on a limited number of projects each month.
Distance does not change the work
The process, the quote and the result are the same whether you are down the road or down the highway.
The obvious question
Even a Hobart agency two suburbs from you is going to run your project over email, a shared link and the occasional call. That is how web projects work now. The difference between two suburbs and two hundred kilometres is a drive that neither of us was going to make.
It is two and a half hours. If a project genuinely needs a face-to-face, say so and I will be there.
That site was built from Launceston for a real estate agent in Portland, Oregon. Thirteen thousand kilometres and a seventeen hour time difference. Hobart is not a hard problem.
The market
Every one of these is a legitimate way to get a website, and for some businesses the right answer is not me. Here is the fair version of each.
| Criteria | A Hobart agency | A mainland agency | A template site | Dolerite Digital |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Typical price | $6,500 to $15,000 | $5,000 to $25,000 | $0 to $400 a year | $2,400 to $4,800 |
| Time to live | 6 to 12 weeks | 6 to 12 weeks | A weekend to a month | Within a week |
| Who you deal with | A project manager | An account manager | Nobody | Matt |
| Who owns it | Usually you, check the contract | Usually you | You | You |
| Where they actually are | Hobart | Melbourne or Sydney | Nowhere | Launceston |
The published starting price for a productised website package in Hobart is around $6,500. That is a fair price for the work. It is just more than most small businesses need to spend to get a good site.
Selected work
Four builds, none of which required me to be in the same city as the client. The first one is on the other side of the Pacific.
The process
Day 0
We go through what the site has to do, who it is for and what already works. No brief template, no discovery phase. You get a fixed quote in writing within two business days.
Thursday
New message
To: matt@doleritedigital.com.au
Day 1–2
Your site goes live on a private link. Not a design file, not a slide. The actual working thing.
Day 3–4
You tell me what to change. It gets changed.
Day 5
We go live and I show you how everything works. Then you choose: I keep looking after it, or you take the keys and run it yourself. Either way it is yours.
I look after it
From $30/month. Hosting, security, backups, monitoring. You never think about it again.
You run it
Full handover. Domain, code, every account, plus written docs. No fee, no hard feelings.
Most sites are live within a week. Simple ones go within two days. The reason is not that I rush. It is that there is nobody to brief and no queue in front of you.
None of that changes because you are in Hobart. Day 0 is an email or a call either way.
What it costs
If your project does not fit that range, you get a fixed quote in writing within two business days.
All prices are in Australian dollars.
Included
Who you are hiring
I co-owned Tasmania's largest pharmacy for twenty years and sold it in 2017, so I have been the client on plenty of these projects.
That is why you deal with me directly and get changes done the day you ask, rather than waiting on someone to check with someone else. The longer version is on the home page.
