A good start. Room to grow.
A clear, considered website that helps people understand your business and get in touch.
Start with the pages you need now. We’ll help you choose a scope that fits your content, budget and plans.
The job of the site
A small business website is doing several jobs at once. It has to explain the offer, prove the business is credible, hold up on a phone and make the next step obvious, all before a visitor has decided to give you the benefit of the doubt.
A small business build is one of several website services Kavera offers. If your business has outgrown a small business scope, the custom website design service covers the deeper end of the same thinking.
A visitor should understand your offer, who it is for and why it matters within the first few seconds on the page.
Small businesses compete on trust as much as price. The site needs real examples, not just a promise.
Most small business visitors are on mobile, often mid-task. The layout has to hold up at that size, not just scale down from desktop.
Whether the goal is an enquiry, a booking or a purchase, the path to get there should never be a guessing game.
Business fit
We build websites for a mix of businesses, including tradies, beauty businesses and other local service businesses. These are examples of who Launch can suit, not a limit on the businesses we work with.
Plumbers, electricians and other trades can explain their services and service areas. Click-to-call and quote requests stay easy, with licence and insurance details alongside job photos.
See website design for tradiesA beauty salon, hair salon or nail salon can list services and prices, link to a booking page, show a gallery and make opening hours easy to find.
See beauty salon website designOther local service businesses can explain what they do, where they work and when they are available, with a clear next step such as a call, enquiry or booking.
Compare website pricingReal constraints
Small business owners are not short of ambition. They are short of time, spare budget and patience for a website that gets in the way of running the business.
You do not have hours to spend managing a website. The build and the ongoing editing need to fit around running the business, not compete with it.
When every service looks equally important, visitors do not know where to start. The structure needs a clear order of priority.
Many small business sites ask for trust without showing much evidence. Examples need a proper place in the structure, not an afterthought.
Visitors weigh up cost before they enquire. Clear scope and pricing direction reduce hesitation and time-wasting enquiries.
Most people decide whether to trust a small business from their phone. The mobile experience needs to carry that weight.
A small business site still needs to be found. Clean structure, headings, metadata and internal links are part of the build, not an extra.
Scope
These are scope cues, not rigid promises. The right fit depends on the number of pages, the examples you already have and how the business wants to convert visitors, whether that is an enquiry, a booking or a purchase.
$49/month + GST + $199 + GST setup
or $599 + GST once-off incl. first-year hosting
$99/month + GST + $499 + GST setup
or $2,500 + GST once-off incl. first-year hosting
$4,000 to $9,000 + GST
The build
Scope changes by project but every small business build covers the same four jobs, grouped below by what each part is actually for.
We start with the commercial job of the site and the size of the business, then match that to a single page, multi-page or custom scope.
Layout, spacing, examples placement and mobile states are shaped around what a visitor needs to understand before they act.
The build has to hold up on a phone, load quickly and stay easy for the business to update without needing a developer for every change.
Before anything goes live, the unglamorous but important parts get checked off so the site is ready to be found and trusted.
Already have a website
Not every small business needs to start from a blank page. If the current site has useful content and decent bones but weak messaging, poor mobile layout or a confusing enquiry path, a website redesign can keep what works and rebuild the rest.

For a single clear offer or a new business, often yes. A well-built single page can cover the offer, examples and an enquiry path. If you have several services, more examples to show or a longer buyer journey, a multi-page site usually fits better. A Launch Website can be a one-page website or have up to 5 pages. Launch Plus has up to 10 pages.
Yes. Examples can also come from process detail, experience, clear service description and honest positioning. As real case studies and work examples build up, the site can be updated to include them.
It should be designed for mobile first, not adapted afterwards. Type, spacing buttons and forms are checked at phone size before anything is considered finished.
Yes. Every build should launch with a crawlable structure, sensible headings, metadata, internal links and schema where it fits. Ongoing SEO content and authority building can be scoped separately.
That is common. Some businesses move from a single page to a multi-page site, others add ecommerce or move into a fully custom build. If the current site has decent bones but needs more, a website redesign can carry across what still works.
