- What does it cost?
- Standard website builds A$500 to A$1,000. Premium builds, for established businesses and larger organisations that need a bigger site built to a higher finish, start at A$1,000 and are quoted in writing on the size and scope of the site. A one-page website is A$300: a single page that says what the business does, where it works and how to reach it. Optional monthly plans are A$97 a month for hosting, security and edits, or from A$197 a month with SEO added. The A$197 plan is also available for a website Kovus did not build, which stays with its current host. Two plans have no separate upfront build fee, offered as options in the written quote: A$238.67 a month with the website build, hosting, ongoing SEO and agreed updates included, or A$2,000 a year for 12 months of hosting, ongoing SEO and agreed updates. Neither is charged until you approve the finished site. See pricing and the terms.
What Kovus sells
Kovus sells a one-off website build, quoted to the business, with an optional month-to-month retainer. A one-page website is A$300, standard builds cost A$500 to A$1,000, and Premium builds for bigger sites start at A$1,000. The optional monthly plans are A$97 a month, or from A$197 a month with SEO. Without an upfront build fee, it is A$238.67 a month with the build included, or A$2,000 a year. The client owns the website, content, domain and source code.
The build is a hand-coded Astro website shaped around the business's actual services, locations, proof and contact path. Technical SEO, structured data, local-search architecture and AI-readable content are part of the build rather than separate upgrades. Every build is quoted in writing before work starts, and the accepted quote lists the pages, integrations, content work and delivery schedule. A typical build takes about four weeks from kickoff to launch, depending on scope, feedback and how quickly business information and photography arrive. Mobile, accessibility and technical search checks are recorded before the site goes live. Prices are in Australian dollars, and Kovus is not registered for GST, so no GST is added. Optional ongoing services are month-to-month with no minimum term. The client may cancel at any time, effective at the end of the current paid month.
The optional retainer covers hosting and ongoing growth work. There is no platform lock-in: the business keeps its domain and can request the code. The Fruit Basket Perth, a Mount Pleasant greengrocer, is one shipped example. For what a site needs in a particular trade, read the pool service, rendering or electrician website design pages, or the roofing, greengrocer and tiling field guides. How the website system works and how pricing works each have their own page, as does web design in Perth.
