// websites outside perth, built remotely from atwell wa 6164
Web design outside Perth, done from Perth by the person who builds it.
Kovus is Josh Waller, working from Atwell in Perth's southern suburbs. Four of the eight client websites so far are for businesses in New South Wales and Victoria, and every one was scoped, written and built from Perth. Every build runs remotely from Perth, by phone, video call and email. Website builds cost A$500 to A$1,000; see pricing.

How a build runs when you are not in Perth.
A website does not need anyone on site. What it needs is an hour or two of your time on the phone, photos of real jobs, and a person who reads your area properly before writing a page about it. The time difference helps more than it hurts: the end of your working day is the middle of mine.
- 01
A call first, by phone or video
We talk through what the business does, the jobs you want more of and where they come from. On-site meetings are only offered around Perth, so for a business in another state the whole build runs by phone, video call and email.
- 02
A written quote before anything starts
Every page, integration and launch check is listed in the accepted quote, with the price, before the build starts. Only the work the accepted quote lists is included.
- 03
Built in Perth, checked on your phone
I write and build the site myself in Perth. You review it on a preview address, on your own phone and computer, and send changes by email or on a call.
- 04
Live on your domain, and yours
The site goes live on your own domain. You own the website, content, domain and source code. A typical build takes about four weeks from kickoff to launch.
Perth hours, in NSW, Victoria or Tasmania time
| When | In Perth (AWST) | In NSW, Victoria or Tasmania |
|---|---|---|
| October to April, daylight saving | 8am to 6pm | 11am to 9pm (AEDT) |
| April to October | 8am to 6pm | 10am to 8pm (AEST) |
Daylight saving in NSW, Victoria and Tasmania runs from the first Sunday in October to the first Sunday in April (NSW Government). A call after knock-off at 5pm on the east coast is 2pm or 3pm in Perth, depending on the season, so it lands in the middle of the working day.
The same prices as Perth, and what SEO can do from here.
A standard build is A$500 to A$1,000 and a Premium build for a bigger site starts at A$1,000, quoted in writing, with nothing added for distance.
The SEO plan, from A$197 a month, works on your Google Business Profile, your Search Console and your own pages, and none of that depends on where Kovus is. What it cannot do is lend you Kovus's Perth listing, or place your business in the map results of a town it is not near: distance from the person searching is one of the three things Google says it weighs, and Google decides those results. For a business outside Perth, the plan's work is your own listing and the organic results under the map.
- Website build
- A$500 to A$1,000, quoted in writing for the pages and integrations the business needs. A Premium build for a bigger site starts at A$1,000. What Premium covers.
- Hosting and edits
- A$97 a month covers hosting, security, backups and unlimited edits. What website maintenance covers.
- SEO and Google Business Profile
- From A$197 a month, adding Business Profile work, Search Console, directory listings, review requests and a monthly report. What the SEO plan covers.
Both monthly plans are optional and month to month with no minimum term. You own the website, content, domain and source code. Full pricing and terms.
