Pick the one that suits how you like to decide.
We are not open for orders in the United Kingdom just yet. There is some paperwork to finish first, and we would rather do it properly than sell around it, so prices here are for reference.
It is your billing address that decides this, not your passport. If yours is in Australia, the United States or New Zealand, you can order today. Otherwise email [email protected] and we will tell you the day we open here.
Same Veloċi. Five ways to get to know it. Switch whenever you like.
Veloċi vs Wix · Squarespace · GoDaddy · Weebly · Canva · United Kingdom
We ran Veloċi against the five builders people in the United Kingdom actually compare: what each one can do (including what we can't), how long a site takes, and what a site with its own domain, hosting and a mailbox really costs over five and ten years, at renewal prices, not the starter prices that get you in the door.
Five years · site + .com + hosting + one mailbox
Cheapest plan that allows your own domain, plus a .com and one business mailbox, at each product's renewal price.
Drag it. Every bar is recomputed from the prices printed on this page, at today's prices all round: a one-off, a yearly figure, and the domain waived in year one where a rival waives it. The sources and the plan we picked for each rival.
*Canva isn't a full site builder: no business email, store, blog or export, so it's shown for reference. Squarespace is shown at its Personal annual price; Business is higher.
The five rent you a website. Veloċi sells you one.

Partner programme
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: £15 to £77 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.
