Builder · Veloċi vs Wix, Squarespace, GoDaddy, Weebly, Canva · Australia
They rent you a website. We build you one in minutes and sell it to you once.
Pick your trade and Veloċi drafts the whole site (headline, copy, services or menu, a curated photo library, hours, reviews) before you've typed a paragraph. You pay $149 once. The five charge every month, forever, and keep the site if you stop.
Time: minutes against hours
Every one of the five starts you at a template or a blank canvas and leaves you to write the copy, find the photos and decide the structure. That's an afternoon if you're quick and a lost weekend if you're not. Veloċi already knows what a plumber's, a café's or a physio's site needs to say and show; the first draft is finished in minutes and you spend your time adjusting, not inventing.
Price: once against forever
Wix, Squarespace, GoDaddy and Weebly start at $12–$16 a month and never stop; Canva is free until you want your own domain, then it's Canva Pro at $18 a month. None of them let you download your site: the monthly fee isn't for hosting, it's for continued access to your own work.
With Veloċi, it's yours.
Veloċi is a one-off build: $149 (Starter), $399 (Business) or $599 (Growth), files yours to download. Hosting is optional at a flat $99 a year, and if you'd rather host the files yourself, that's allowed too.
What we don't do, on purpose
No blank canvas: we build the page for you rather than hand you a drawing board, so Wix, Squarespace and Canva get the tick there and we don't. No online store and no blog yet. If you need to sell products from the site or publish weekly, Wix, Squarespace or Weebly are the honest pick today. No multi-language sites. We'd rather you know that now than after paying.
What survives a download
Take the file and leave. Here is exactly what keeps working.
"Download your files" is easy to say. This is what is inside the file, what runs on our side, and what happens to each one the day you host it somewhere else.
| Hosted with us | After you download | |
|---|---|---|
| The site itself | ✓ One HTML file with everything inside it, published for you | ✓ The same file. Any host serves it; Cloudflare Pages and Netlify host a file like this free |
| Photos you chose or uploaded | ✓ Packed into the file where possible; the builder says if any stay linked | ✓ Packed into the file where possible; the builder says if any stay linked |
| The starting pack's stock photos | ✓ Served by Pexels under its licence: no key, no account | ✓ The same |
| Google reviews | ✓ Verified against Google when you build, written into the page, refreshed from the editor | ◐ Stay exactly as published. Refresh by signing back in, or edit the HTML |
| The "Open now" badge | ✓ Runs on your hours, inside the file | ✓ The same |
| Map and directions | ✓ Google's public map embed: no key | ✓ The same |
| Contact and newsletter forms | ✓ Open the visitor's mail app, addressed to you | ✓ The same, or swap in any form service |
| Call bar, WhatsApp, booking and ordering links | ✓ Plain links, inside the file | ✓ The same |
| Search basics and business schema | ✓ Inside the file | ✓ The same |
| Analytics | ✓ Your own GA4 ID, inside the file | ✓ The same |
| Your domain | ✓ Registered in your name at an ICANN-accredited registrar | ✓ Moves with you: transfer code on request |
| Your mailbox | ✓ A standard IMAP mailbox at your domain | ✓ Works in any mail app; export it any time |
| SSL, uptime checks; backups from Boost up | ✓ Ours, inside the hosting fee | ◐ Your new host's job; the free ones do SSL |
| The editor | ✓ Open for as long as you host with us. No window | ◐ Included for 12 months to up to three years, then $99 a year, or edit the HTML yourself for nothing |
Nothing on your site phones home to us.
- No script on the page calls our servers: no key of ours to expire, no account of ours to lapse.
- The two things that are genuinely ours are the editor and the hosting, and both are optional.
- Hosting with us buys publishing, SSL, uptime checks and a person (backups come with the larger tiers); the file is yours either way.
A worked example
Five years of a Newtown café's website: the real bill
The café wants a site with its menu, hours, a bookings link and Google reviews, a .com.au, and an info@ mailbox. Two receipts, five years, renewal prices.
Host the files yourself instead and the bill is $604.
Same café, same menu page: two very different bills.
- One bill ends: a single payment and four flat renewals.
- The other keeps going for as long as the café exists.
The fine print, in plain English
Your site, drafted in minutes. Yours forever.
Start from your trade, not a blank page. Change what you like, pay $149 once, and download the files whenever you want.
No payment or account to begin. You pay only when you download or publish.
Partner programme
Know a business that needs a website? We pay you $80 when they buy.
Every business finds Veloċi somewhere: an ad, a search, a friend. We'd rather pay the friend. The fees are our advertising budget, paid to the person who brought the customer instead of to Meta, Google or Bing: $30 to $150 a package, plus hosting and mailbox fees every year they stay. The customer pays the same price either way, every partner must say so wherever their link appears, and we never pay for a review.
