Common questions
What people ask first.
The short versions. The full FAQ has twenty-plus.
- What does a Vellero website cost?
- Most builds run $4,000 to $9,000, with the range depending on page count, industry, and any custom features. Trades typically sit at $4,000 to $8,000; professional services with practitioner profiles and compliance-aware copy sit at $5,000 to $9,000. The price is quoted flat at the start (not hourly) so you know the total before we begin.
- Is there a payment plan?
- 50% to begin, 50% at launch is the standard. For larger builds, three instalments can be arranged on request.
- Do you charge for revisions during the build?
- No. The fixed quote includes two rounds of feedback on design and two on the built site. Additional rounds past that are billed at a flat hourly rate, disclosed up front.
- Do you have a cheaper option for smaller businesses?
- Not currently. Vellero builds at a mid-market price point because the engineering baseline (schema, speed, local SEO) takes the same amount of time on a small site as a big one. A proper custom build starts at $4,000.
- How long does a build take?
- Four to six weeks, most of the time. A week for scope and design direction, three to four for the build, then polish and launch. If you need it faster, say so early. It is usually possible, but something has to give.
