Standard website builds cost A$500 to A$1,000.

Standard website builds cost A$500 to A$1,000, depending on scope. 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. There are two optional monthly plans: A$97 a month covers hosting, security, backups and unlimited edits, and from A$197 a month adds SEO and the Google Business Profile. Two plans have no separate upfront build fee: 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. Every build is still quoted in writing before work starts. The quote lists the agreed pages, integrations, content work, monthly deliverables and delivery schedule before you approve anything.

A Premium build is for an established business or larger organisation that needs a bigger site built to a higher finish. It has more pages and a higher design and build finish than a standard build, and it includes everything a standard build does: individually scoped service and service-area pages, a mobile-first enquiry path, structured data and technical search foundations, and performance, accessibility and mobile QA recorded before launch. Premium builds start at A$1,000 and are quoted in writing on the size and scope of the site before work starts. Standard builds cost A$500 to A$1,000. Either way, you own the website, content, domain and source code.

The one-off build is scoped in a written quote. 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 annual plan is billed a year at a time: cancelling renewal stops the next annual charge, and services continue to the end of the paid year.

Yes, where your written quote offers it. The A$238.67 a month plan includes your website build, hosting, ongoing SEO and the website updates agreed in your quote, with no separate A$500 upfront build fee. Nothing is charged until you have approved the finished site. It is then charged in advance each month until cancelled, has no minimum term, and stays at A$238.67 after the first 12 months rather than dropping to A$197. The A$2,000 a year plan covers 12 months of hosting, ongoing SEO and agreed updates, also with no separate A$500 build fee. Its first payment is also taken once you have approved the finished site, and it renews every 12 months until you cancel renewal, and services continue to the end of the paid year. Both are paid through Stripe checkout, which shows the total before you pay, and you keep ownership of the website, content, domain and source code.

The client owns the website, content, domain and source code. There is no platform lock-in.

Usually, but what moves depends on what you own. Check the current contract for its end date and any exit fee, and check that the domain is registered to your business. If the provider keeps the design and code, the move is a rebuild rather than a copy, and your own text and photos come across into the new site. A standard Kovus build is quoted in writing at A$500 to A$1,000, or, as an option in the quote, A$238.67 a month with the build included. A Premium build for a bigger site starts at A$1,000. The client then owns the website, content, domain and source code. A Google Business Profile the business owns is separate from the website, so the move only changes the website link on the profile.

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. Work in that scope then stops, and we agree any practical hosting handover before that date.

Typically about four weeks, depending on scope and how quickly photos and information arrive. The delivery schedule follows the agreed pages, integrations, content and approval process, and your quote sets the stages and sign-off points before the build starts.

No. The build can be bought as a standalone project. Optional month-to-month services are included only when they are listed in the accepted quote.

Yes. The A$197 plan is available for a website Kovus did not build, on the same pricing from A$197 a month. The site stays on its current platform and host, so hosting, security and backups stay with them. The plan covers the SEO work, the Google Business Profile and the monthly report. On-site SEO changes, such as titles, headings, structured data and page copy, are made in your platform with editor access you provide, and you keep ownership of every account. If the platform blocks a change the work needs, the written quote says so before anything starts.

Yes. I work across a defined set of trade and local-retail businesses. The scope follows the real services, service areas, proof and customer journey for that business rather than assuming the same fit-out for every client.

Every build includes a clear technical foundation for machine readability, including consistent business facts and relevant structured data. Inclusion, citations and rankings are controlled by each search platform, so they are measured rather than guaranteed.

Your real service areas, services, approved pricing, current photos and access to the business information needed for the agreed scope. I turn that into a build plan for sign-off.
