A beautiful website that doesn't convert is just an expensive brochure.

Most Hobart businesses come to us needing web design in one of three situations: no website, something outdated, or a DIY build on Wix or Squarespace that's hit a ceiling. In every case, the problem is the same.

The site was never built to convert.

Every site Lightsmith builds is designed with the full picture in mind: search performance, paid traffic, and turning visitors into customers.

“I’ve seen businesses spend tens of thousands on ads driving traffic to a website that was never built to convert. The site is always the first thing we look at.“

Andrew — Founder, Lightsmith Media

Two types of website design projects. Both built to perform.

The right solution depends on what you need your website to do and how you need to manage it.

Perfect if you're starting from scratch, migrating from Wix or Squarespace, or replacing a site that's outgrown itself.

  • SEO-ready from day one
  • Fast, stable, and built to scale
From $2,800

02
Landing Pages & Conversion Optimisation

A focused, single-purpose page built around one action: a booking, a quote, or a purchase.

  • The destination for your Google and Meta campaigns
  • Every element placed and tested to convert
  • Ideal if you're already running ads but not seeing results

What our clients reckon.

Highly recommend Light Smith Media. They went above and beyond for me, not just building my website, but also helping with email setup, social media, and practical marketing advice which has allowed my business to hit the ground running.

They genuinely took the time to understand my business and made the whole process easy from start to finish. Great communication, great results, and a team that truly cares about what they deliver.

Great people and a great business, couldn’t be happier.

Andrew did a fantastic job with my website. He was accommodating and quick to respond to my never-ending stream of questions and ideas. Highly recommend, the finished product is aesthetic, unique, and effective!

When I first started my business, I felt completely overwhelmed by the number of tech interfaces I was “supposed” to learn. While I actually enjoy this kind of thing, I just didn’t have the brain space at the time to take on building a website as well.

Working with Andrew made all the difference.

As a fellow ADHDer, he really understood how to meet me where I was at. He helped me work through the low-dopamine barrier of getting started, and supported me to gradually provide content (in my very ADHD-style, sporadic drops!) so he could bring it all together into something cohesive.

Andrew was both professional and genuinely fun to work with. He was patient, flexible, and made the whole process feel much more manageable than I expected.

I also really appreciated his willingness to work within my preferences — including using Google Sites as a free host. While this may not have showcased the full extent of his usual toolkit, the end result still looks fantastic and does exactly what I need it to do.

Thank you Andrew — I’m so glad I chose to work with you.

Andrew and Hannah played a massive role in helping successfully launch my partner’s new business, delivering high-quality marketing that truly elevated his brand and made it stand out. From start to finish, their professionalism, creativity, and attention to detail were outstanding.

Their communication was seamless, their ideas were innovative, and the final results exceeded our expectations. If you’re looking for a media team that genuinely cares about your vision and brings it to life, Light Smith Media is the team to go with.
Could not recommend them more!!

Small improvements in conversion rate have a big impact on your bottom line.

Most businesses focus all their energy on getting more traffic. But every site we build is designed around what happens when people arrive. Traffic without conversion is expensive noise.

Strategy, conversion design, and technical best practices are part of every build.

A short handover session so you can update your own content confidently. No hourly fees every time you need to change a line of text.

Frequently Asked Questions

WordPress websites start from $2,800, with most projects landing between $2,800 and $5,000 depending on the number of pages and complexity. Landing pages start from $950. We'll give you a fixed quote before any work begins - no surprises.

WordPress sites typically take 4 to 6 weeks. Landing pages are usually 1 to 2 weeks. The timeline is mostly driven by how quickly content and feedback comes through on your end - the build itself moves fast.

You'll need to provide your logo, any existing brand assets, and the content for your pages - or we can help with that. Beyond a couple of briefing sessions and one or two rounds of feedback, most clients spend 2 to 3 hours total on their end. We handle everything else.

Yes. Every website build includes two weeks of post-launch support, so if anything needs tweaking after you go live, we're on it. We also do a proper handover so you can manage the site yourself day-to-day, and offer ongoing maintenance if you'd rather not think about updates, security, or backups at all.

We show you the structure and layout before any visual design begins, so you're not reacting to a finished product. If something isn't landing right, we work through it. We'd rather get it right than get it done.

While we're a Hobart web design agency first, we work with select interstate clients. Everything can be done remotely - discovery, briefing, handover - so location isn't usually a barrier.

A great website is only as valuable as the traffic coming to it.
