Valacia Compared With Website Builders

Valacia, from Linko Vectis, sets up a professional website from your answers, with a fully integrated customer relationship management (CRM) system and, on the Business plan, bookings and payments. A website builder still leaves the design to you, even after an AI draft.

The Difference

Who Designs Your Website

Several website builders now draft the first version of your website with AI. From then on, the design is yours to finish in the builder's own editor, or you pay someone to finish it.

Website Builder

Wix

  • Its AI drafts a website from a prompt.
  • After the draft, you finish the design yourself, by hand in its drag-and-drop editor or by asking its AI agent.
  • Its free plan publishes on a wixsite.com address, and removing the Wix ads needs a paid plan.

Website Builder

Squarespace

  • Its AI drafts a website, which it calls a starting point.
  • You then finish it in its drag-and-drop editor, with its AI assistant to help, and publishing it needs a paid plan.

Website Software

WordPress

  • You design the website yourself, from a blank canvas or a theme.
  • Features beyond the basics come from plugins, and some sell a paid version beside the free one.
  • Its own hosting page says WordPress works best on a well-equipped host.
  • Its own guide says to keep plugins up to date for security and speed, to back up before each update, and that problems can come from plugins that conflict.

What Hosting And Plugins Can Add

Free website software costs nothing itself, but the bills arrive elsewhere: hosting, and the paid plugins that add features, each sold by a different company on its own terms.

Hosting For WordPress

SiteGround

  • Its StartUp plan is paid twelve months ahead.
  • After a discounted first term, it renews at its regular, higher price.

WP Rocket

  • Its licence is paid up front, for one year or for three.
  • By default, it then renews automatically every year.

Questions

Questions About The Comparison

Is Valacia A Website Builder?

Not in the usual sense. A website builder hands you an editor and makes you the designer.

Valacia sets up a website ready for your own words, with no page to lay out. It also holds your customer records and, on the Business plan, takes bookings and card payments.

Is It Better To Build Your Own Website Or Use A Website Builder?

If you have design and technical skills, building your own website gives you full control, along with the work of keeping it running. If you do not, a website builder is quicker, but you still design it yourself.

Valacia takes the design off your hands. We manage the platform it runs on.

Does Valacia Take A Cut Of My Bookings?

No. Valacia takes no commission on a booking and charges nothing per enquiry. Card payments taken on your website carry a fee of 2.5% + 20p on a standard UK card, and that covers the card processor's charge too.

Do I Have To Design My Own Website?

Valacia handles that. It asks about your business and sets your website up, and you simply add the words and photographs.

What Is Included In The Valacia Price?

Both plans include hosting on Google Cloud with monitoring, backups and security patches, plus contact forms, the CRM and technical SEO.

Business adds online bookings, invoices your customers pay online, card payments with a booking or an invoice, a link to your till, marketing email and two Site Seats for your staff, with more available on either plan. Your domain registration is billed separately.

Does Valacia Put Adverts On My Website?

No. We put no advertising on a Valacia website, ours or anyone else's, and that includes the free trial.

A trial website carries a small Powered By Valacia badge. On Pro and Business it sits in the footer until you switch it off.

Can I Take My Website With Me If I Leave Valacia?

Your domain, yes. On Pro and Business it is registered in your name, so it can move to another provider with you.

The website itself stays on Valacia, and it stops being published when a plan ends. We tell you the date before it arrives, and you can download your customer records and bookings as CSV files.

To cancel a monthly plan, use the Cancel Plan button in Valacia Studio, or email us.

What If My Business Needs Software Of Its Own?

When no ready-made product meets your requirements, we design and build a custom SaaS application in house. It lives in your company's own Google Cloud project, and Google bills you directly.

Why Name Other Companies At All?

Because a comparison with unnamed "typical builders" cannot be checked. Every company here is named, linked and dated, so you can read its own page and make up your own mind.

Why Are Some Prices Missing?

We show a price only where the company's own page says it is the total you pay. Where a page showed prices before tax or in another currency, we left the figure out and linked the page.
