2025 is shaping up to be a landmark year for Dapth, the Perth-based digital consultancy known for quietly yet powerfully driving digital transformation across Australia. In just the first two months, Dapth has earned four prestigious industry awards, solidifying its reputation as a go-to partner for organisations seeking innovative, human-centred, and deeply strategic digital experiences.


A Winning Start to the Year

The most recent recognition comes in the form of a Web Excellence Award in the Manufacturing Website category, awarded for Dapth’s work on the IMDEX website. This award marks a major milestone and sets a confident tone for the rest of the year. But the accolades don’t stop there—Dapth also picked up two Kentico Site of the Month awards: one for APM Australia in February and another for DOT – Your Move in January. And as icing on the cake, the IMDEX site also received an Honourable Mention in the Kentico Site of the Year awards.

This diverse portfolio of recognition spans industries and sectors, underscoring Dapth’s versatility, design thinking, and technical excellence.

 

Why these awards matter

While awards are always a point of pride, for Dapth they represent something far deeper—validation of the value they create for clients.

“These awards are a by-product of the work we do behind the scenes,” says Phil Allen, Founder and Head of Strategy at Dapth. “We’ve always kept our focus on enabling WA businesses to do digital better—by connecting systems, simplifying complexity, and improving customer and employee experiences.”

Each award-winning project reflects the unique challenges and opportunities faced by the client, and Dapth’s ability to bring strategy, design and development together to address them holistically.

Project Highlights: Human-Centred Outcomes

Take the IMDEX website, for example. Known globally for its mining technology, IMDEX needed a website that could reflect its innovation while serving the practical needs of a diverse, global user base. Dapth delivered a robust digital platform with a clean, high-impact design and intuitive UX, ensuring the site could grow alongside the business.

For APM Australia, the challenge was different. As a national organisation delivering employment, health, and human services, APM needed a website that was both accessible and deeply aligned to its mission. Dapth created a solution that made navigating APM’s extensive services simple for users, while delivering performance and consistency behind the scenes.

And in the case of DOT – Your Move, Dapth focused on engagement. This project required a digital experience that could inspire behavioural change in transportation habits. Dapth built an engaging, visually compelling, and user-friendly site that encourages users to explore, learn and take action, while making the underlying technology invisible.

“Gathering data and insights into customers and employees gives us deep understanding of the human perspective that our Strategists, Designers and Developers leverage to create results for client partners."

Engineering Simplicity in a Complex Digital World

Much of Dapth’s work goes unseen by end-users - integrations, backend development, system logic—but these are the foundations of truly transformative digital solutions. At a time when many organisations are wrestling with outdated systems, fragmented platforms and underwhelming customer experiences, Dapth brings clarity and connection.

“We focus on streamlining workflows so staff can be more productive in the long run, without compromising quality or efficiency now,” explains Kay Wharemate, Head of Technology at Dapth.

 “We don't just stop at checking out what's already available on the market – we assess total long-term costs compared to our development team simply building something bespoke for you.”

This pragmatic, value-driven approach means clients aren’t just handed flashy websites, they’re equipped with strategic digital assets that reduce internal complexity, improve efficiency, and make life easier for customers and employees alike.

Helping Businesses grow from the inside out

At the core of Dapth’s success is its mission to help organisations transform from the inside out

Whether it’s a public-sector initiative, a private enterprise, or a not-for-profit, the goal is always the same: to connect teams, customers, and systems in a way that builds clarity, trust, and momentum.

Each project begins with discovery - deep research into the internal pain points and the external needs. Dapth’s team of strategists, designers and developers then align around a solution that’s not just visually compelling, but operationally sound.

“The end goal of every project is to make life easier for our clients, while reducing costs, adds Phil Allen. We do this by providing them with data-driven, insight-based digital solutions to alleviate pain points.”

This kind of digital transformation delivers not just technical upgrades, but real business outcomes: reduced manual tasks, better team collaboration, improved online engagement, and better decision-making through integrated data and analytics.


A Culture of Curiosity, Craft and Care 

One of the reasons Dapth continues to thrive is its team culture. They are relentlessly curious, detail-obsessed, and deeply respectful of the businesses they work with. Every engagement is viewed as a long-term partnership, not a quick win.

Internally, the team celebrates wins not for ego, but for what they signal: impact. When a client sees their customer satisfaction increase or their admin load drop by half, that’s success.

“For us, digital isn't about the latest trend. It’s about building something that helps a real person do something better, faster or with less stress. And doing it in a way that feels good, that’s intuitive.”

Kay Wharemate - Head of Tech


Looking forward in 2025

With four awards already under its belt, Dapth is only getting started. New projects are already in motion, with more launches and client wins to come. And while the external recognition is meaningful, the real excitement comes from the ripple effects Dapth sees in their clients’ businesses every day.

In an environment where many organisations feel overwhelmed by digital change, Dapth’s clear, considered and client-first approach is a breath of fresh air. They’re not here to dazzle with jargon or overwhelm with complexity. They’re here to solve real problems with empathy, integrity and excellence.

So, if you’re an organisation wondering how to take the next step in your digital journey, whether that means a new site, a new system, or a complete rethink of how your digital ecosystem works - Dapth might just be the quiet force you’ve been waiting for.

Stay tuned for more updates, more bold projects, and more award-winning work from the team at Dapth in 2025. The best, it seems, is still to come....
