How much does a website cost in Hobart?
In Hobart, a small business website runs from a monthly do-it-yourself builder subscription to a custom build quoted on your brief, and most studios don't publish their prices. Binary Top publishes its floors: static websites from $800, CMS websites from $2,500 and integrated CMS and e-commerce from $8,000. Running costs come on top.
Website prices by build type
Binary Top publishes a starting price for each kind of website it builds. Each figure is a build floor: the least that kind of build costs, before hosting, domains and later changes.
| Build | Starts at | Fits when | Built example |
|---|---|---|---|
| Static websites | From $800 | You're happy for us to make content changes. Still many pages, fully responsive, with a lead form. | Westbrook Residence, a Bellerive Bluff townhouse development (2024) |
| CMS websites | From $2,500 | Your team publishes and edits the site itself, or content repeats across many pages. | @Rice, a Lauderdale restaurant (2021) |
| Integrated CMS & e-commerce | From $8,000 | The site shows live data from systems you already run: bookings, property feeds, stock or payments. Online stores, multi-language sites and member logins sit here too. | Brick & Castle Property, listings pulled from the agency's inventory system (2024) |
| Web apps, SaaS & mobile | Contact us | People sign up and log in. Progressive web apps, iOS App Store and Google Play. | BabyLog, Binary Top's own PWA and iOS app (2026) |
Most projects sit between two rows, and the quote follows your brief. Most Hobart studios quote each project rather than publish a price, so compare quotes on what they include.
Current Binary Top prices live on the home page.
What changes the price
Five things move a website from one price to the next: who edits it, how much content it carries, what it connects to, how many languages it speaks and whether people log in.
- Who edits the content. If our developers make your changes, a static site does the job. If your team publishes every week, you need a CMS.
- How much content, and how it repeats. A price shown on six pages should change once, in one place. That is CMS work.
- What it connects to. Each booking, practice, property or stock system adds an integration to build and test.
- Languages. A second language means a second site structure and a way to keep both versions current.
- Logins and accounts. Once people sign in, the build becomes an app, and it is priced on the brief.
What a website costs after launch
The build price is not the whole cost. Every website also pays for a domain each year, hosting, email on your domain if you want it, and the changes you ask for.
- Domain name. Renewed each year with your registrar.
- Hosting. A static site on a global CDN costs next to nothing to host. A CMS or integrated site runs on a server, with a monthly cost that grows with the site.
- Email on your domain. Billed by your email provider.
- Services you connect. Booking, practice and payment systems charge their own fees, paid to that vendor.
- Changes. Binary Top quotes ad-hoc changes at $65 an hour, priced per task before work starts. On a care plan, the quote itself is free.
Ask for the running costs in writing with every quote, so you compare like with like. The $65 rate is published in the FAQ on the home page.
A real build: what moved the price
North Hobart Massage is a remedial massage clinic whose therapists run their day in Cliniko. The clinic needed clients to book themselves in against real availability, with no second calendar to keep. Wiring the site to the Cliniko API is what made it an integrated build rather than a CMS website.
