No website at all
Customers search before they call. Without a site, you lose them to a competitor who simply shows up first.

The problem
Most small businesses are one website away from more customers
If any of these sound familiar, a better website is one of the highest-value things you can fix.
A site that looks dated
Slow to load, awkward on a phone, hard to update. It quietly signals that your business is not current.
No time to maintain it
You are busy running the business. A website should not be another chore you never get to.

Why Vellworks
A small studio with a long-term mindset
We are not trying to be the biggest. We are trying to build websites that keep working for the businesses that own them.
Built to last
The name comes from vellum — the fine material used for documents meant to be kept. We build websites the same way: for the long term, not a throwaway template.
Honest, flat pricing
No hourly guessing and no surprise invoices. You get a clear price before we start, and a simple monthly plan after.
Fast and mobile-first
Most of your customers are on a phone. Your site is designed for that first — quick to load, easy to read, easy to act on.
You own everything
Your domain and your website are yours. If you ever leave, you take it with you — no hostage tactics.

Questions
Straight answers
A few things small-business owners ask us most.
Who is Vellworks for?
Small and local businesses — trades, shops, restaurants, clinics, and independent professionals — that either do not have a website or have one that looks dated or is hard to update.
How much does a website cost?
Most small-business sites are a flat one-time build: Starter is $499 (up to 5 pages) and Growth is $899 (up to 10 pages). Larger projects are quoted from $1,500. You always approve the price before any work begins.
What are the ongoing care plans?
Care is optional and month-to-month. Essential Care is $39/month (keep it healthy and online), Business Care is $99/month (we actively look after it — our most popular plan), and Growth Care is $199/month (ongoing improvement). Larger, higher-touch needs are quoted individually.
Does a website build include SEO?
Every build includes the initial SEO foundation — clean structure, titles and descriptions, sitemap, structured data, and fast mobile pages. Ongoing SEO and content work is a recurring service, available in Business Care and above. Buying a website does not include indefinite SEO.
How long does it take to build?
Starter sites have a target of 5 business days and Growth sites 10 business days; Custom timelines are quoted with your project. The clock starts only once your required information, assets, and access are complete, and customer-caused delays pause the timeline. We deliver sooner whenever it is safely possible.
