Builder · Veloċi vs Wix, Squarespace, GoDaddy, Weebly, Canva — Australia
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 $159 once. The five charge every month, forever, and keep the site if you stop.
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.
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.
Veloċi is a one-off build: $159 (Starter), $399 (Business) or $799 (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.
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.
A worked example
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.
Same café, same menu page, same mailbox. One bill ends after a single payment and four flat renewals; the other keeps going for as long as the café exists.
The fine print, in plain English
Start from your trade, not a blank page. Change what you like, pay $159 once, and download the files whenever you want.
