What we build

Start with the website or business system you need. Each build has a defined scope, with care and support agreed before launch.

Websites

A service website, WordPress build or landing page that explains your business and makes it easy to enquire. We agree the content, CMS and ongoing care before launch.

Website development

Applications

Web applications and internal tools for the work your team does every day. Start with the users, the records they need and the first workflow worth building.

Application development

CRM builds

Custom CRM or Dynamics 365 development for customer records, enquiries and follow up. Connect your website and existing tools without making staff enter everything twice.

CRM development

Custom software

Software for a business process that off the shelf tools cannot cover well. Test the workflow early, then build the agreed release with a documented support path.

Custom software development

Platforms and portals

Customer portals, learning platforms and shared business systems. Plan access around the people using them, with clear permissions and connections to the systems behind the screen.

Platform and portal development

Website and software care

CMS, theme and plugin updates, website fixes and application support. Your agreement sets the support hours, response targets and work included, with phone and email contact in Australia.

Maintenance and support

Start here

Choose the affordable path that matches the problem: a better website, a supported WordPress site, a practical app, a rescue review or a first proof of concept.

New studio, built on experience

The name is new. The people doing your work bring experience with websites, applications and the systems businesses rely on.

Team experience15 years combined
Across our team's careers100+ projects delivered
BackgroundGovernment, enterprise and business systems
Home basePerth, WA
DeliveryNo outsourcing or offshore handoff

Our team brings 15 years of combined experience, with more than 100 projects delivered across their careers. That experience includes government and not for profit systems, enterprise infrastructure, security and business software. It shapes the decisions we make on smaller projects too, including who can access the system, how it recovers from a problem and who supports it after launch. UX and CX design work for a major Perth university adds experience with forms, content and accessibility used by students, staff and support teams.

Why it matters

For small and medium businesses, a polished screen is not enough. The enquiry has to land cleanly, the records have to move, the CMS has to be maintainable, and someone needs to know what to do when an update, integration or login path breaks.

The method

A small-studio workflow for custom software, web applications, and AI products that need to be useful on launch day.

01

Define the job

We define the business goal, the users, the messy handoffs and the point where the build becomes worth doing.

02

Prototype the shape

You see screens, service flows and trade-offs early. No mystery deck, no surprise scope.

03

Build in the open

Short cycles, visible progress, production-minded engineering and a short weekly progress update.

04

Launch and hold

We ship, watch the system, fix the sharp edges, and leave clean documentation behind.

The work we can help with

A website that explains your services, a CRM that keeps records together or an application that handles a business task. We shape the build around what you need to do.

Delivery board Small scopes, clear ownership, supported launch.
01

Define the job

The buyer path, workflow or support risk is named before design or code starts.

02

Build the useful bit

The first release proves a real page, integration, portal or app workflow.

03

Handover early

Access, hosting, backups, notes and response paths are treated as part of the work.

Built in Perth for Australian businesses

Doohickey is based in Perth and works with Australian small and medium businesses that want direct senior delivery, clear support and practical software without agency theatre.

Perth is the home base, and the work is shaped around Australian time zones, local business language and straightforward ownership. When the right client is outside WA, delivery stays practical: remote workshops, fixed-price options for clearly defined work, plain-English updates, Google Business Profile alignment when it matters, and support paths that do not depend on a big retainer.

What clients get

A website that explains the offer, an app that removes admin, a support path that answers when something breaks, and clear content that helps serious buyers decide whether to enquire.

Questions

Straight answers about websites, business apps, AI integrations and rescuing a project that has gone sideways.

Does Doohickey do Perth web development?

Yes. Doohickey is a Perth web development and application development studio building websites, secure portals, custom web applications, AI integrations, and project rescue work for Australian small and medium businesses.

Do you build custom applications or only websites?

We build both. The work ranges from high-performing websites through to logged-in portals, dashboards, CRMs, workflow tools, and AI-powered products.

Can you rescue an existing offshore software project?

Yes. We start with a rescue review for stalled, abandoned or offshored software builds, then give a clear recommendation on whether to stop, stabilise, rebuild or finish the project.
