Valacia keeps your website and your customers in one place. Customers see your work and ring you in one tap. You manage it from your phone between jobs, or a computer in the evening.
Coming Soon Fourteen days free, no card needed. Then £18 a month to be found and rung, or £59 a month with bookings.
Who It Is For
If you run a van, a diary and a mobile number, this page is written for you.
The job a website has to do for you is narrow, and it is not glamorous. Be findable when somebody searches for what you actually do. Say plainly what you take on and where. Give people a way to reach you that does not depend on catching you at the top of a ladder.
Valacia asks about your business and sets your website up from a template made for it. Then you fill it with your own words and photographs: the work you do, the towns you cover, the jobs you are proud of.
After that you manage it yourself in Valacia Studio, from the van or the kitchen table. Google Cloud hosts it, and the platform underneath is our job. You never wait on us to change a word.
Check any company before you pay it monthly, us included. Our company number is 17200208, registered in England and Wales, and our ICO registration is ZC153121. Linko Vectis and Valacia are both registered UK trade marks.
If you would rather read about your own county, our website design by location pages cover the East Midlands and South Yorkshire place by place.
Named as examples. Valacia comes set up for your kind of business, and for a service business that means click to call, your area and a gallery of your work up front.
What You Get
We manage the platform: hosting on Google Cloud, monitoring, backups and security patches. What customers see, and what they send you, is yours to manage.
Found And Rung
A visitor rings you straight from the page, sees the area you cover and looks through photographs of finished jobs. For the fourteen days of the free trial, it lives at a valacia.site address.
Your Name And Your Enquiries
When you choose a plan, your website can move to a domain in your own name, and the badge moves to the footer, where you can switch it off.
Contact and enquiry forms come with the free trial and stay on both plans.
Each message comes to you by email, and a copy waits in the customer relationship management (CRM) system with the customer who sent it and the page they were reading.
Bookings And Your People
A customer books a time on your website, pays a deposit if you ask for one, and gets a confirmation by email.
You can write to customers who have agreed to hear from you. Two of your own people get a Site Seat each, with permissions you pick from our set, and you can add more.
The technical SEO comes with every plan, so search engines can read and list every page. No advertising goes on your website, ours or anyone else's.
Valacia covers your website and your customer records. It does not run your jobs, and you should know that before you pay.
If you need those, Valacia is not the right tool.
Calls And Enquiries
Somebody searching for you may be on a phone, in the room with the problem. Your website opens with your phone number a tap away. A customer who would rather write can send you an enquiry.
The Monthly Cost
If you already pay something every month for the phone to ring, here is a different way to spend part of it.
Pro is £18 a month: a website on a domain in your own name, with enquiries coming straight to you.
No lead platform takes a cut of the job, there is no commission on a booking, and there is no fee per enquiry.
You pay nothing up front, and the figure is the whole price. Pay for a year and Pro is £198, which is one month free.
Do the sum properly, on paper. A website built for you is a one-off cost with a monthly plan behind it. This is a monthly cost with no bill at the start.
Which costs less depends on how long you keep it, so the website cost calculator runs the sum over three years.
Common Questions
They do different jobs, and a business can run both. A lead platform sends you work on its terms and owns the relationship and the pricing around it.
A website on your own domain is what somebody finds when they search your name after a neighbour recommends you. It is what you point at from the van, a card or a written quote. What we will not do is tell you to cancel something that is paying for itself.
Pro, if you need to be found, rung and written to. At £18 a month it can put your website on a domain in your name, with click to call, your service area, a gallery and enquiry forms.
Business, at £59 a month, adds bookings, invoices your customers pay online, marketing email and two Site Seats for your staff. You get fourteen days of Business free before you choose, and no card is asked for, so you can see which one your work uses.
Yes, on every plan and during the free trial. You manage the website in Valacia Studio, from a phone, a tablet or a computer.
Put up photographs of a finished job from the driveway. Change the area you cover the evening you decide to. You wait for nobody.
No, and nobody can promise it. Every Valacia website comes with the technical groundwork search engines look for, on hosting that loads fast on a phone.
That groundwork is a standard we can be held to. Your position depends on your market and on Google. A builder guaranteeing you a position is selling something it cannot deliver.
No. That is a Google Business Profile, a separate free listing you set up yourself with Google. For a trade it often matters more than the website, because a nearby search can show the map before anything else.
We do not set it up for you. The two work together: the listing gets you found close by, and your website is what somebody reads before they ring.
Not without warning. Any change to the price of an active subscription is notified at least thirty days ahead by email, and you can cancel before it takes effect at no charge. There is one published price list for everyone. Clause 5.1 of the Valacia Terms is the binding version.
Yes, on either plan. The Business plan includes two Site Seats for your own people at no extra cost, and on Pro or Business you can buy more.
Each seat is for one person, and you choose what it allows from a set we provide. Whoever answers the phone gets a seat of their own, so nobody shares yours.
Answer the on-screen guide's questions about your business, and Valacia does the setting up. Then add your own photographs and words. Valacia Studio has not opened to customers yet, and no date is published.
