What we need from you
Your words, photos and logo
To build your site in a week, we need your copy, images and logo. Don’t have them? We can help.
Asking for changes
Edits within 24 hours
Send your requests by email or through our form. Basic updates, like rewording a section or posting a news item, are done within 24 hours.
Business and E-commerce plans include up to 1 or 2 hours of updates every month. Larger changes are quoted separately, or you can upgrade your plan.
Flexible and fair
You stay in control
You own your content and domain
Your words, photos and domain name are always yours. Virtuosite owns the design and code until you buy the site.
Upgrade or downgrade anytime
Change plan as your business changes. Plans can’t be paused, but you can always move up or down.
Buy your site after 12 months
After the 12-month minimum term you can pay a one-off buyout fee to own your website outright.
