Instead of paying £1,000–£3,000 upfront for a website, you pay one fixed monthly fee. We design and build your site, then host it, keep it secure, back it up and make your changes. Everything is included.
Starter is £35 a month, Business is £65 a month and E-commerce is £99 a month. There’s no set-up fee on Starter or Business. E-commerce has a one-off set-up fee of £199.
Yes. After 12 months you can pay a one-off buyout fee to own your website outright: £245 for Starter, £445 for Business or £695 for E-commerce. The buyout covers your full site files, database and the transfer of your domain to the host of your choice.
You do. Your words, photos and domain name are always yours. Virtuosite owns the design and code until you buy the site.
After your 12-month minimum term, you can cancel with 30 days’ notice. If you leave without paying the buyout fee, your website is taken down, but your content and domain name remain yours.
