Education Web Design
Education Web Design Tasmania | Online Course Platforms & Training Websites
Hobart-based web design and online platform specialists for Tasmania education and training businesses
We build websites and online learning platforms that work for course creators, training providers, workshops, coaching businesses, art schools, tutoring services, and education professionals across Tasmania and Australia.
The difference? We've actually built and scaled an education business. Art Masters Visual Art Schools grew to 250 students across two locations with systematised enrolment and curriculum delivery. We understand student acquisition, retention, course delivery platforms, and what converts education buyers.
Why Education Businesses Choose Us
We understand education business models.
We've run Art Masters Visual Art Schools successfully - built the systems, scaled to multiple locations, managed enrolments, and systematised delivery. We know student lifecycle management, course pricing psychology, how to sell education (which is different from selling products), and what makes learning platforms work.
What we know that generic web designers don't:
- Course platform selection (Teachable vs Thinkific vs custom Shopify)
- Student enrolment and payment systems
- Recurring revenue models (memberships, subscriptions)
- Course launch sequences and evergreen funnels
- Student testimonials and social proof that converts
- Waitlists and cohort-based course management
- Certificate and completion tracking
- Private student communities and support
- Workshop and event booking systems

Common Challenges We Solve
"Which platform should I use for my courses?"
Depends on your model. Teachable/Thinkific for pure online courses. Shopify for courses plus physical products. Custom WordPress for complex requirements. We'll assess your needs and recommend the best fit - not just what's easiest for us to build.
"How do I handle enrolments and payment plans?"
Automated enrolment systems, deposit + instalment payment plans, waitlist management, term-based billing, and refund policies. We've managed hundreds of student enrolments - we know what needs to work.
"I need both online courses AND in-person workshops"
Hybrid delivery platforms: online course access, in-person event bookings, combined packages, and student dashboards that work for both formats.
"How do I sell high-ticket coaching packages?"
Discovery call booking systems (we use Cowlendar), programme sales pages with testimonials and social proof, payment plan options, and application forms to qualify prospects.
"I want recurring revenue, not just one-time sales"
Membership sites, monthly learning communities, course subscriptions, ongoing coaching programmes. We'll build subscription models that create predictable revenue.
"Student testimonials and social proof"
Showcase systems for student results, video testimonials, before/after case studies, graduate success stories, and certification badges. Education sells on transformation - we know how to prove it.

Frequently Asked Questions - Education Websites
Should I use Teachable, Thinkific, or build on Shopify?
Teachable/Thinkific if you're purely selling courses and want everything in one place. Shopify if you're selling courses plus physical products (books, supplies, etc.) or want more design control. We'll recommend based on your specific situation.
How do payment plans work for courses?
Deposit plus instalments, or monthly subscriptions. We set up automated billing, missed payment handling, and access control based on payment status.
Can I do both self-paced and cohort-based courses?
Yes. Self-paced courses available anytime, cohort-based courses with specific start dates and waitlists. Different pricing and delivery models on the same platform.
How do I handle waitlists when courses fill up?
Automated waitlist systems with email notifications when spots open, priority access for waitlist members, and waitlist-to-enrolment conversion tracking.
What about student communities and support?
We can integrate Circle, Slack, Discord, or private Facebook groups. Include community access as part of course enrolment, with automated onboarding.
Can students track their progress?
Yes. Most course platforms include progress tracking, completion certificates, and student dashboards. We'll set this up so students can see exactly where they are.
How do I collect testimonials and showcase results?
Automated testimonial request systems after course completion, video testimonial collection, case study interviews, and graduate success showcase pages.
What about refund policies and guarantees?
We'll help you structure money-back guarantees, refund windows, and terms of service that protect you whilst increasing student confidence to enrol.
