More complex or custom?
If the project goes beyond the standard Starter or Business scope — such as a larger site, major content project, redesign, custom functionality or complex development — we provide a separate quote before work starts.
Two ways to build the foundation
The Starter Website is for a business that needs a clean, credible presence without overcomplicating it: up to five pages, mobile-ready, contact and click-to-call.
The Business Website is the better starting point for most businesses. It is 10–15 pages, custom-designed around your services, customers and service areas, with basic SEO and a lead-focused conversion path. It gives us room to explain what you actually sell instead of squeezing a whole business into five URLs.
What the pages actually say
Home
What you do, where you do it, the services that matter most and a phone number that works on a thumb.
Services
Each service you sell, with real numbers where you can give them. “Competitive pricing” tells a customer nothing.
About
Who shows up, how long you have been doing it and which cities you actually cover.
Contact
Phone, hours, service area and a labelled form. Click-to-call is tested on an actual phone before launch.
Reviews
Honest proof and thoughtful replies. The site should not pretend to have a content library when the business is brand new.
Built by hand, on purpose
There is no theme, page builder or plugin stack. The site is hand-built with lightweight markup, inline SVG and a structure designed for speed, accessibility and clear local intent.
Where the initial build stops
The website build is a one-time project. Website Care is the ongoing responsibility layer: hosting, uptime, backups, security checks and small content updates while VeloStack hosts and maintains the site.
New pages, major content projects, redesigns and complex development are not silently bundled into Website Care. We scope those separately before work starts.
What happens after launch
Website Care keeps the site running. If you want it to pull more searches, that is the SEO retainer: $299/mo for the first $6 months, then $149/mo ongoing. If your Google profile is weak, profile management is the faster-moving next step.
Straight answers
Questions we get on the build.
What is the difference between the Starter and Business Website?
Starter is 250 once for up to 5 pages: a clean, credible presence with lead-focused essentials. Business is 500 once for 10–15 pages, with custom design plus basic SEO, service and location structure. Most businesses start with Business because it gives the site room to represent the work they actually sell.
What does Website Care cover?
Website Care is $49/mo and is required while VeloStack hosts and maintains your site. It covers hosting, uptime, backups, security checks and small content updates such as new hours, a service change, a photo swap or a price that moved. Larger new pages, redesigns or complex development are scoped separately.
Do I own the site?
Yes. The domain is registered in your name, and if you leave we hand over the files. Website Care is the condition for VeloStack hosting and maintenance; stopping it means we stop hosting and maintaining the site and provide the handoff needed to move it elsewhere.
Why does it not use WordPress?
Because most of what makes local sites slow is the stack, not the design. A page-builder theme routinely ships a large JavaScript and plugin payload before it renders a word. Ours are hand-built, lightweight and have no plugin stack to patch for vulnerabilities.
How long does the build take?
Typically 2–3 days from the call once we have the service list, hours, photos and other information needed to build the site. We keep the build focused and move quickly; delays in receiving required content can extend the timeline.
Is five pages enough to rank?
No, and we will not tell you otherwise. A Starter Website is the foundation. Local service businesses that want broader organic coverage usually need additional service and location pages over time; that growth belongs in the SEO work rather than being hidden inside the initial build.
