What is a website membership?
A website membership replaces the large upfront cost of custom web development with a fixed monthly fee. Velakova builds your custom-coded site - no templates, no Wix, no Squarespace - and absorbs the build cost, then covers hosting, monitoring, and maintenance under the membership. You can layer on portals, dashboards, and AI systems as you grow, each rolling into the same monthly invoice. No commodity template work; custom code built to last.
