Who's behind this
I'm Owen, a Perth-based developer with over ten years of professional experience.
As well as ACJ Creative, I run ACJ Tech, a software consulting business providing technical leadership services. I also founded Quivva, an application for independent consultants and professionals who handle recurring client work.
Building businesses - my own and others' - gave me a genuine interest in marketing and what actually makes a website work. I care about whether a site converts and contributes to the business.
ACJ Creative is where that interest lands. The technical foundations are solid because that's my background. The focus on clarity and structure is because I've been on the business owner side too.

Common questions
Straight answers to the things people usually ask before getting started.
How much does a website cost for a small business in Perth?
Every build is scoped to what you actually need — no locked-in packages. Use the quote builder to pick the pages and features that suit your business and get an instant, itemised price. You can also choose to pay in full (with a 10% discount) or spread the cost over time. All pricing is in AUD and inclusive of GST.
Can I add more features to my site later?
Yes. The site is built as a collection of independent components, so adding new pages or features after launch is straightforward. Start with what you need now and expand as your business grows or as budget allows.
What does 'free hosting' actually mean?
The site is built with Astro, a modern static framework, which can be hosted on platforms like Cloudflare Pages or Netlify at no cost. There's no monthly hosting fee and no server to maintain. You own the code and can host it anywhere.
Is the hosting fast?
Yes. The site is delivered as static files from a CDN — meaning pages are served from servers close to your visitor, with no database queries or server-side processing on each request. Load times are very fast and Core Web Vitals scores are strong, both of which Google uses as ranking signals.
The contrast with WordPress is significant. A WordPress site renders pages dynamically on every visit, requiring a database and application server that typically costs $20–50+ per month to run reliably at reasonable speed. Static hosting sidesteps all of that — faster by default, cheaper to run, and nothing to maintain.What if I need something that isn't in the quote builder?
The quote builder covers the most common pages and features. If you have something specific in mind — a custom tool, an unusual integration, or something unique to your business — get in touch and we can scope it out honestly. Fixed price where the scope is clear, or a range where it isn't.
How long does a project take?
A foundation build (landing page and contact) typically takes two to three weeks from kickoff to launch. Additional pages and features add time on top. Timelines depend on how quickly you can provide content and feedback.
What do you need from me to get started?
After you build your quote and book a discovery call, we'll clarify your goals, audience, and messaging. From there, you'll need to supply your logo, photos, and any existing copy. We can help shape the copy if needed.
Will my website rank on Google?
A well-built site gives you the technical foundation to rank: fast load times, correct semantic HTML, proper heading structure, meta tags, and a Google-submittable sitemap. An optional Google Business Profile audit is also available. Ranking depends on content, competition, and ongoing effort — no one can guarantee specific positions, but you'll start with a site that Google can properly index and evaluate.
Can I update the website myself once it's built?
Basic content updates — swapping out text or images — are straightforward for anyone comfortable with code. For non-technical owners, the Blog + Headless CMS add-on provides a simple editor for publishing content yourself. Alternatively, the $99/month Site Management retainer covers content updates without you needing to touch the code.
Do you work with businesses outside Perth?
Yes. The whole process happens remotely — video calls, shared documents, and online review links — so location isn't a barrier. That said, the primary focus is on serving Perth and Western Australian small businesses, and the majority of clients are based locally.
