Proudly based in Launceston, Tassie
Sleek, modern websites for businesses Australia-wide.
We design and build websites for small businesses, at $1,500 or $3,900. We also write custom software: system integrations, automation and internal tools.
What we do
Websites
New sites and rebuilds. We design the site, build it and put it live. A rebuild keeps your existing page addresses, so links to your site keep working.
Upkeep
Australian hosting, backups, security updates and the small changes as you need them. New prices, new staff, new opening hours.
Custom software
Two systems that don't talk to each other, made to. Work done by hand every week, done by software instead. The spreadsheet holding the business together, replaced with something built for the job.
Recent work
How much does a website cost in Launceston?
A single landing page is $1,500, a five-to-eight page business site with enquiry forms is $3,900. Anything more involved is scoped and quoted per project.
How long does a website take to build?
A one-pager takes about 2 weeks and a business site 6-8 weeks. Custom work is quoted with its own timeline. The thing that slows projects down is almost always waiting on content, so we tell you exactly what we need from you in the first week.
Can you redesign my existing website?
Yes. A rebuild keeps your existing page addresses, so links to your site keep working.
Is SEO included?
Yes, on every site, a landing page included. Each build is checked against the same search checklist before it goes live: how Google finds and reads it, how fast it loads, and whether it matches your Google Business Profile.
What happens when I need something changed?
You email or call us and we do it. Text edits, new photos, a price that moved, a staff member who left. Small changes are part of the upkeep plan. Anything larger is quoted before we start it, at $120/hour.
Do I own the site, or am I renting it?
You own it. The end build is yours once it is paid for, with no vesting period and nothing to buy out. Your domain stays licensed in your name while we manage it, and your content, images and customer data are yours to take a copy of whenever you want. The upkeep plan covers hosting and maintenance after that. If you move the site elsewhere, you get the code, the content and the files to do it.
Do you work with businesses outside Launceston?
Yes. We are between Launceston and the Tamar Valley and we would rather meet you in person, but the work travels fine. We have no trouble running a project by phone and email for businesses in Hobart, Devonport or on the mainland. The only thing you lose at a distance is the in-person kickoff.
Why go with Esk Works?
Because the terms are plain. The price is fixed in writing before anything starts, the end build is yours, and the upkeep plan has no minimum term.
