Mining + resources HQ
Marketing sites + product platforms for Rio Tinto / BHP / Fortescue / Woodside-adjacent mining-services SaaS, minerals-tech, exploration tooling, ESG reporting platforms.
Web design, Shopify development, mobile apps, and brand identity for Perth and Western Australia brands — mining + resources HQ, oil & gas, isolated tech founders, Margaret River wineries, and Fremantle + Subiaco creator DTC. AWST (no DST), on-site discovery in Perth CBD, Subiaco, and Fremantle.
Perth is one of the most isolated major cities in the world (closer to Jakarta than to Sydney) and that geographic isolation shapes its commercial culture. Four scenes drive the brief mix. Mining + resources is the largest economic engine — Rio Tinto, BHP, Fortescue, Woodside, and Chevron Australia all run major Perth operations producing a steady mining-services SaaS founder pipeline. Oil + gas (Woodside HQ + the wider WA LNG cluster) drives a parallel B2B SaaS stream. The isolated tech scene punches above its weight — Canva-adjacent + smaller-scale SaaS founders building for global markets from Perth time zones. Plus Margaret River wineries (one of Australia's premium wine regions) + Fremantle creator DTC + lifestyle brands keep consumer work flowing. AWST coverage (no DST in WA — Perth is on AWST year-round, 2 hours behind Sydney + Melbourne in their summer) with on-site discovery across Perth CBD, Subiaco, Fremantle, Northbridge, and Cottesloe.
Perth runs on Australian Western Time (AWST) — a strong afternoon overlap with our Sydney office. We don’t maintain a Perth office, but our Sydney team covers Australian hours, with our Delhi HQ for added overlap. The clock below shows the daily collaboration band between your hours and ours.

Search "Shopify developer near me in Perth", "web design agency near me Perth", "mobile app developer near me Perth", "brand identity near me Perth", or "web development Perth Western Australia" and our pages should surface alongside the local boutique studios. We work with brands across Perth, Perth CBD, Subiaco, Fremantle, Northbridge, Cottesloe, and Leederville. WA coverage extends to Margaret River, Bunbury, Geraldton, Albany, plus the wider mining + resources Pilbara region. On-site discovery in Perth CBD, Subiaco, or Fremantle for in-person sessions. AWST Mon-Fri 9-6 (no DST), weekly Friday demos on Perth time. Note: Perth is 2 hours behind Sydney + Melbourne in their summer, 3 hours ahead of Singapore in winter, which makes coordination with Asia-region clients straightforward.
Every Perth engagement scopes into one of three shapes before any contract is signed, so a Western Australian operator picks the shape that matches their stage rather than a generic retainer. Each shape carries a fixed discovery, a named pod, and AWST-aligned cadence — weekly Friday demo at 12:00 AWST, same-business-day Slack Mon–Fri 9–5 AWST with Delhi same-day overlap (AWST is 2:30 hours ahead of IST). Scope and timeline are agreed up front; we quote against the discovery deliverables, never a rate card.
Two-week discovery, design system, Shopify Admin API build with editorial storefront, dealer locator, dual-channel WA lifestyle / outback-adjacent / craft DTC catalog, launch support. For Perth CBD / Fremantle / Cottesloe operator brands at AU$50K–AU$2M MRR. Contact for a scoped quote.
Next.js + Stripe build for the BHP / Rio Tinto / Fortescue / Woodside Energy Perth supply-chain corridor: SOC 2 Type II, OT/IT integration, audit-trail logging, role-based admin, supplier-onboarding flows. Milestone-based; first milestone refundable. Contact for a scoped quote.
Logo, modular type scale, color, motion tokens, voice, and a handed-off Figma library for Fremantle / Mount Lawley creator brands and isolation-confident WA operator-led DTC. Considered Indian Ocean restraint — far-from-everywhere weight without provincial feel. Contact for a scoped quote.
A Perth engagement runs on AWST-aligned cadence: weekly Friday demo at 12:00 AWST, same-business-day Slack response Mon–Fri 9–5 AWST, milestone-based payments with the first milestone refundable if discovery deliverables miss the brief. The Delhi HQ is only 2:30 hours behind AWST, which gives Perth operators the cleanest Delhi-overlap of any Australian city — near-real-time collaboration during the Perth workday. A 30-minute discovery call returns a written scope plus a fixed-price quote within 48 hours.
Coverage window with same-day Delhi overlap.
Weekly recorded demo, every engagement.

Day-to-day work runs remote with weekly Friday demos on Perth time, and a 4-hour Slack response SLA Mon-Fri 9-6 AWST.
Yes. Perth's role as the global mining HQ-adjacent city (Rio Tinto, BHP, Fortescue, Woodside, Chevron Australia all running major Perth operations) produces a steady mining-services + minerals-tech + ESG-reporting SaaS pipeline, and that's a regular part of our scope. We ship Next.js + Vercel marketing sites, custom platforms with careful integration into field-data + commodity-exchange sources, and architectural decision records for compliance.
Yes. Margaret River + Swan Valley + Great Southern wineries are a meaningful part of our Perth scope. We ship Shopify Plus with age verification, club subscription engines, allocation release scheduling, AusPost integration for shipping (including the special wine-shipping carriers for interstate compliance), and editorial photography respecting Margaret River's premium positioning.
Four main archetypes. Mining + resources HQ-adjacent SaaS. Oil + gas LNG B2B SaaS. Margaret River wineries + premium food + craft beverage with age verification + club subscriptions. Fremantle + Subiaco creator DTC.
Yes. Discovery workshops are typically on-site in Perth — your office, ours, or neutral spaces like Spacecubed in the CBD, Riff coworking in Northbridge, or coworking in Subiaco. Most week-to-week iteration happens via weekly recorded demos plus Slack on Perth time. Quarterly in-person retainer reviews keep the relationship active.
Perth's commercial culture in 2026 is shaped by being the operating HQ for Australia's mining and LNG industries, while sitting closer to Jakarta than to Sydney. That isolation drives a particular kind of operator: technically literate, used to remote-team coordination, and comfortable running global supply chains from an AWST timezone that overlaps almost nothing in the Americas.
Local market context: Western Australia's resources sector is the gravitational centre. The state hosts BHP, Rio Tinto, Fortescue, Woodside, and Chevron's North-West Shelf LNG operations, all running global supply chains from Perth offices. The Perth metropolitan area sits at roughly 2.3 million residents, with Margaret River wineries, a serious craft-beer culture, and a niche but growing SaaS scene anchored by Canva-adjacent design tools and resources-tech. The Indian Ocean Rim positions Perth as a credible operator hub for South-East Asia and Africa, not just Australia.
How we work with Perth brands: Digital Heroes is remote-first with HQs in New York and Delhi, plus satellite teams in London, Sydney, and Lucknow. AWST is the trickiest Australian zone for a global team, so we structure Perth engagements around our Sydney satellite (only two hours ahead of Perth most of the year) and Delhi (two and a half hours behind), keep sprint reviews Loom-recorded so AWST operators don't have to wake up for Eastern-states meetings, and lock a Wednesday AWST standup. We do not staff a Perth office; we staff a Perth-friendly cadence.

Digital Heroes is a remote-first agency with HQs in Sydney with same-day coverage from Delhi plus satellite offices in London, Sydney, and Lucknow. We work with Perth brands on AWST hours, Monday through Friday, with same-day Slack response during overlap. We do not maintain a Perth-local office and we will not invent one.
Three standard shapes. A Perth Shopify Plus or custom-platform build runs 8 to 16 weeks Discover-Design-Build-Launch-Optimize. A Perth web-design sprint runs 6 to 10 weeks for brands that already have a platform and need editorial-quality storefront, mobile, and brand system work. A Perth engineering retainer covers monthly senior developer hours with unused hours rolling over. We scope shape and price before any contract.
Our typical Perth fit is operator-led brands across mining and resources HQ, oil & gas, isolated tech, Margaret River wineries, and Fremantle creator DTC. The shared thread is brands above $50K monthly revenue with a real growth roadmap and a named operator we can talk to weekly. We are wrong for pre-revenue concepts that have not validated product-market fit yet, and we will say so on the discovery call.
Yes. For retainer engagements we include quarterly in-person sessions in the Perth metro, either at the client location or at an agreed neutral spot. For one-off Shopify Plus or custom-platform builds we typically include a launch-week trip plus a 60-day post-launch review trip in scope. Travel sits inside the project budget on the original quote, not as a surprise line item.
30-minute discovery call gets booked typically within a week of first contact. Written scope plus fixed-price quote returns within 48 hours of that call. For Shopify Plus replatforms or custom-platform builds we layer a 5 to 7 business day technical-discovery phase before the quote becomes binding, because the migration data model and integration surface area drive timeline more than visible design does.
We build for the operator-led brands that define Perth's commerce — like Blacklist Coffee Roasters, a founder-run business that outgrew its templates and needed real engineering.
Independent Perth businesses cited as market context — not Digital Heroes clients.
We work remotely with Perth brands across the metro, from our New York HQ team with daily 9–1 ET overlap. Coverage spans Northbridge, Fremantle, Leederville, Subiaco, Mount Lawley, CBD, Cottesloe and Victoria Park.
