Bodycote Building
Licensed builder, Nambucca Valley NSW. From Instagram to a site with a page for each kind of job: new home, deck and renovation.
bodycotebuilding.com.auWebsites for tradies: Built once. Yours to keep.
Fast websites from A$500, built in Perth for Australian trades and local businesses. You own the site, content, domain and code.
How a build runs
Scoped in writing.
Every page, integration and launch check is listed in the accepted quote before the build starts.
Designed, then hand-coded.
No templates. Each site is designed for the business and hand-coded as a fast Astro build.
Checked before launch.
Mobile, accessibility and technical search checks are recorded before the site goes live.
Owned outright.
The website, content, domain and source code belong to you. Ongoing upkeep is optional and month-to-month.
Sites built for real businesses.
Each of these is live, and the business owns the site, the content and the domain. Start with the Fruit Basket Perth greengrocer site, or read the guides to roofing websites and greengrocer websites.
More than a brochure.
The useful work sits underneath the design: specific service information, real proof of past work, a clear mobile enquiry path and measurement tied to your own baseline.
Service areas
Typical siteOne "service areas" page that lists suburbs without saying anything useful about the work in each.
Kovus buildA useful page for each genuine service area in scope, with the services you offer there and real local detail.
Pricing
Typical siteNo pricing guidance. A customer has to make contact before learning whether the budget might fit.
Kovus buildClient-approved pricing guidance, so customers understand the offer before they get in touch.
Mobile contact
Typical sitePhone number only in the header, harder to find once a customer scrolls on a phone.
Kovus buildA tap-to-call bar pinned to the bottom on mobile. The phone is always a thumb-press away.
Page speed
Typical siteA slow page on mobile. Customers wait longer to reach the services, proof and contact options.
Kovus buildA hand-coded Astro build, with mobile performance checked and recorded before launch.
Structured data
Typical siteNo structured data. Search and answer engines have to guess what the business does and where it works.

What Kovus builds, and what it costs.
Kovus is Josh Waller's Perth studio. I design and hand-code fast Astro websites for Australian trades and local businesses, with local-search structure built into the pages. Standard builds cost A$500 to A$1,000 and Premium builds for bigger sites start at A$1,000, each quoted in writing, and the client owns the website, content, domain and source code.
Kovus works with businesses Australia-wide by phone and video, with on-site meetings across the Perth metro area. Every page, integration and launch check is listed in the accepted quote before the build starts, and a typical build takes about four weeks from kickoff to launch. Mobile, accessibility and technical search checks are recorded before the site goes live. Ongoing work is optional and month-to-month with no minimum term: A$97 a month covers hosting, security, backups and unlimited edits, and from A$197 a month adds SEO for tradies and the Google Business Profile. Shipped client sites include 18 suburb delivery pages for The Fruit Basket, a Mount Pleasant greengrocer, a 29-page site for McDonald Roofing Company in Wangara, and 150 pages covering 103 suburbs for Donza Plumbing in Mannering Park. Rankings, traffic and enquiries get measured after launch, and no quote promises them. The full terms are on the pricing page.
If your business is in Perth, there's a page with local detail for your part of the city: Joondalup, Baldivis, Bayswater, Canning Vale, Cannington, Cockburn, Mandurah, Melville, Rockingham and Subiaco. For businesses in New South Wales and Victoria, the site is built remotely from Perth and everything runs by phone and video.
Questions tradies ask before a quote.
- How much does a tradie website cost?
- A standard build costs A$500 to A$1,000, quoted in writing for the pages and integrations the business needs. A Premium build, for a bigger site built to a higher finish, starts at A$1,000. Ongoing work is optional: A$97 a month covers hosting, security, backups and unlimited edits, and from A$197 a month adds SEO and Google Business Profile work.
- Who owns the website, and is there a contract?
- The client owns the website, content, domain and source code from launch. The monthly plans are month to month with no minimum term, and cancelling takes effect at the end of the current paid month.
- Will the site rank on Google?
- No quote includes a ranking, because Google decides that. The build covers the pages, structured data and mobile speed that search engines read. The SEO plan then works on the Business Profile, Search Console, directory listings and review requests each month, with a report on what changed.
- Who builds the site?
- Josh Waller, in Perth. The person who scopes the site writes, designs and hand-codes it in Astro, and is the same person you deal with after launch.
- How long does a build take?
- About four weeks from kickoff to launch is typical. The accepted quote lists every page, integration and launch check before the build starts.
