41°26′S · Launceston, Tasmania

Born in Tasmania.
Refined in California.
Now designing websites in Launceston.

I build sites for the bars, restaurants, wineries, services, tradies and tour operators across Tasmania. And I'm in the Launceston CBD if you'd rather talk over a coffee.

John Hammond — founder. Tasmanian, home from San Francisco, based in Launceston.

Plenty of ways to build. We'll find the right fit for you.

Every site gets the same care. The platform just depends on how much you want to touch it afterwards.

Simple01
Squarespace

Squarespace

For a café, a tradie or a one‑page tourism listing. Clean, quick to launch, and you can change your hours or menu yourself without calling anyone.

Custom02
WordPress

WordPress

A fully custom design on the CMS most businesses already know. Room for a blog, bookings, a wine club — and your admin can still edit it on a Tuesday afternoon.

New03
AstroStoryblokStrapiKeystatic

AI‑built

Hand‑coded by AI on a fast Astro front end, with a proper CMS behind it (Storyblok, Strapi or Keystatic) so you can still edit pages yourself. No plugins to update, nothing to break. We set it up and show you how.

Built for the businesses that keep Tassie running

If you're in the Launceston or Hobart CBD, I've probably walked past your front door.

  • Tourism & accommodation
  • Bars, cafés & restaurants
  • Wineries & cellar doors
  • Lawyers & accountants
  • Trades & construction
  • Any CBD business, really
What 15 years in San Francisco taught me

Every website has a purpose. We build around yours.

We've launched a lot of websites, and the ones that work all have the same things: a clear message, fast pages, one obvious next step, and Google set up properly. That's what we build. I scope it with you, then a project manager and a team of designers and developers take it from brief to launch.

How it works

  1. Coffee & questions

    Who are your best customers, and what do they need to see to pick up the phone?

  2. Review the concepts

    You see real design concepts, mark them up, and we refine until it's right. Nothing gets built before you sign off.

  3. Design & build

    Fast, mobile‑first, on the platform that fits. Tested on every device before it goes live.

  4. Get found

    Google Business, local search and a 30‑day check‑in once you're live.

Let's talk about your site.

20 minutes, no pitch. In person in Launceston or on a call.
