Launceston, Tasmania
Websites for Launceston businesses, built down the road and live within a week.
We take on a limited number of projects each month.
Down the road
You can sit across a table from the person building it, then watch it go live.
The problem
Someone in Kings Meadows types “accountant Launceston” into their phone. If you are not in the map results and not on page one, you do not exist for that search. Most Launceston business sites have never had their Google Business Profile properly set up.
The person who built it has moved on, the platform it sits on is out of date, and changing a phone number means emailing someone and waiting. Meanwhile it is quietly failing on phones, which is where most of your customers are.
Businesses in this town run on relationships and word of mouth, which is why so many local sites are just a logo, a photo of the building and a contact form. That works right up until someone who has never met you looks you up first.
Case study, Launceston
Watson & Hegarty have been doing the books for Launceston businesses for a long time, and their reputation was built entirely on relationships rather than marketing. A website had never really mattered, because the work came from people who already knew them. It started to matter when the people looking for an accountant were searching first and asking around second.
The structure was settled before a line of code was written. Six pages, one for each thing they actually get asked about, the phone number in the header of every page so nobody has to hunt for it, and a real photograph of Launceston instead of a stock photo of two people shaking hands in a glass office. It reads like the firm, because it was written from a conversation with the firm.
Four days from the first phone call to a finished site. There was no design round, no staging review committee and no three week wait for feedback on a mockup, because the thing they were looking at was the actual site.
The process
Day 0
Send what the site needs to do, who it is for and what already works. Everything runs through written details and email. You get a fixed quote in writing within two business days.
Your brief
New message
To: matt@doleritedigital.com.au
Day 1 to 2
Your site goes live on a private link. Not a design file, not a slide. The actual working thing.
Day 3 to 4
You send your changes in writing. Two rounds are included within the agreed scope. Extra features are quoted before any work starts.
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 the domain, code, accounts and content transfer to you on final payment.
I look after it
Hosting from A$30/month + GST, or A$60 with care. Both cover security, backups and monitoring. Hosting & care adds simple content changes.
You run it
Full handover. Domain, code, every account, plus written docs. No fee, no hard feelings.
A small site is usually live within a week, and larger builds run to the schedule in your quote. There is nobody to brief and no queue in front of you.
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 and exclude GST.
Local
Based in Launceston, with the whole project handled through written details, a preview and email. No meetings to organise.
The bigger reason is that I know what a quiet July looks like here, and I know that half your customers will find you on a phone in a car park with one bar of signal. Those are design decisions, and they get made without me having to ask you what Launceston is like.
Included
“Matt took our 20-year-old website and turned it into something our members actually want to use. The booking system alone has saved us hours every week.”
