Builds you can click.
These are Kova Labs concept builds, made in-house to show the standard, not client work.
Kova Labs · Concept
One automation, wired around a store.
The edge that sits on top of a finished build, shown not told.
Shopify + n8n Slack
Real client builds replace these as they ship. We never dress a concept up as a client job.
Kova Labs · Concept
Tolla, on a headless stack.
A homewares store built past the theme: a headless front end for speed and full control of the design. This is the tier for brands that have outgrown a template.
- Platform
- Headless Shopify
- Front end
- Next.js on Vercel
- Performance
- Measured on publish
Concept illustration of the template-to-custom gap. Not a client redesign, and we make no speed claim until a real build is measured.

What we build
Two build lanes, one edge.
01 Shopify and ecommerce
A store your brand deserves.
Beautiful, fast Shopify stores that convert and hold up when traffic spikes.
02 Custom and headless
When a theme is not enough.
Headless Shopify or a custom site for brands that have outgrown a template.
+ The edge · AI automation
Automate the manual work.
Once the store is live, we wire in automation that removes the busywork around it.

You approve each stage before you pay for the next.
Fixed scope, fixed price, and the build risk sits with us, in writing.

Kova Care
Ongoing care and conversion work once you are live.
A short call about your store, with the people who would build it.
Kova Labs · Concept
We would rather show you than tell you.
We are a new studio and we say so. Here is real evidence, and clearly marked gaps where it is still building.
The guarantee
We put the build risk in writing. Studios unsure of the work do not do this.
Discretion
Most work runs under NDA. We say less about clients on purpose, and extend you the same discretion.

Client testimonial
Name, role, store, one line on the outcome, from the first founding client.
Everything here is real or clearly marked as not yet published. We do not invent clients, logos, or reviews.
What store owners ask.
You are new and I do not see big-name logos. Why trust you?
Fair question. The proof is the work you can click, and the guarantee.
You approve the first stage before you pay for the next, so the risk is ours to carry.
I am in Australia. Will the timezone be painful?
No. We work your business hours in real time, with only a small offset.
Same-day replies, live working sessions during your day.
Shopify or custom, which do I need?
Shopify for most stores, and it is where we lead.
Custom or headless is for when a theme cannot do what your brand needs. We will tell you honestly which one fits.
What does “from AUD 8k” mean?
It is a floor, not a quote.
Every project is fixed-scope and priced to the outcome. You get a firm number after a short call.
Who owns the store when you hand it over?
You do, in full, on final payment.
You get the store, the code, and a clean handover, so you are never locked to us.
Can you work white-label behind our agency?
Yes. We deliver quietly under NDA, in your name, and stay invisible.
A small studio that builds both halves.
Kova designs and builds online stores and sites for Australian brands.
Shopify and custom, headless stacks, whichever the brand actually needs.
Most shops are design-only or cheap and templated. We do both halves, so the store looks premium and performs.
The people who design your store are the people who build it. No handoff, no account-manager layer.
Kova Software Development Services. DTI-registered, Philippines. We work with brands internationally, Australia first.
