A website that
actually rings your phone.
Done-for-you for plumbers, HVAC & roofers: we build it, run it, and improve it every month — you never touch it. You own the site, the domain, and the right to walk away.
Your site answers a customer — in seconds.
The real AI front desk that runs on your site. Watch it read a message, reply on the spot, and refuse to send anything it can't back up. Switch agents, or type your own message.
Built for the trades people search at 11 p.m.
When someone types “[trade] near me,” they're not browsing — they're ready to call the first business that looks legitimate, loads fast, and answers the question in their head. Velasari builds the site that wins that moment. We built it for family shops — the owner answering from the truck, the spouse running the office, the kid who keeps saying the website's embarrassing. If that's your table, this is your service.
Plumbing
Burst pipes don't wait for business hours — a fast page puts your number one tap away.
“plumbing near me”HVAC
Both sides of the calendar: “AC repair” in July, “furnace not working” in January.
“hvac near me”Roofing
When the storm passes and everyone searches at once, you're the easy call.
“roofing near me”Electrical
Buyers screen for trust in seconds — clean, fast pages make you the legitimate pick.
“electrical near me”Not a site you have to babysit.
We keep it current and getting found — every month, without you asking, with a Dept5 person reviewing the work. One real improvement ships monthly. The line never goes stale.
A site that answers at 2 a.m.
The optional AI front desk answers every visitor in seconds, any hour, asks the right questions, books the job, and texts you the lead. Try it yourself at the top of this page.
add-on · try it at the topFound on Google — and by AI
Every change we ship helps you show up when someone Googles your trade nearby, or asks ChatGPT or Siri who to call. That second one is new — and most local sites are invisible to it.
every changeContent that stays current
Two edit requests included every month — five on Growth, plus a new page. New service, new hours, new photos — handled.
2-5× / monthManaged hosting
Fast, secure, monitored hosting that stays up. You never touch a server or a renewal.
Uptime & QA monitoring
Continuous checks with rollback on every change. Nothing breaks quietly — and you're not the one who finds out first.
Watched, not left aloneYou ask, we ship, you hear about it
Request any change any time — portal or email — and it's built, checked, and live within days. Every month, a plain-language note of what changed and what's next.
The reviews you've earned, working for you — everywhere.
Most local sites bury their reviews on a page nobody opens. Velasari puts your Google rating right on your site, into Google's search results, and turns finished jobs into fresh reviews — automatically. The numbers are blunt: reviews are usually the single biggest lever on whether a visitor calls you or the next name on the list.
Lives wherever it sells best: homepage, footer, and every service page.
Live on your site
A real-time star block on your homepage, footer, and service pages — the proof a visitor needs in the three seconds before they bounce.
★ Stars in Google
We add the rating markup Google reads, so your stars can show up in the search results and in AI answers — winning the click before they even land.
More reviews, automatically
After each job, the AI front desk asks your happy customer for a review with a one-tap link — so your rating keeps climbing without you chasing anyone.
Industry research (Spiegel Research Center; local-consumer review surveys) — not Velasari results. The honest sweet spot is 4.2–4.5★: a few imperfect reviews read as real and convert better than a suspicious perfect 5.0 — which is exactly what we build toward.
Built to ring the phone — not just look pretty.
Every site we touch is scored by our own audit engine — phone speed, getting found on Google, and how fast a customer can actually tap to call you. Here's the jump.
Every demo site explains itself — open one and it walks you through exactly what it's doing to book jobs, stop by stop.
From your details to live — in four steps.
Most “AI websites” hand you a template and walk away. Velasari runs the same careful process Dept5 brings to major launches. Nothing reaches your live site until it passes — and you approve the draft first.
Tell us about your shop
Business name, trade, service area, photos. Two minutes in the portal and we have what we need to start.
You get: a clear scope and timeline — never silence.We design & build

You get: a site that compounds while you work.Pick a plan. Done for you.
A $20 Wix site is $20 plus your nights and weekends. A typical agency retainer is $500+ a month with a 12-month contract. Velasari is neither: a pro-built site — hosted, updated, kept easy to find — month to month, cancel anytime. You run the business. We keep the site current.

We won't lie for you. That's the point.
The same system that builds your site refuses to fabricate the claims that get local businesses sued, delisted, or burned by word of mouth. In your town, your name is the asset. Honest sites rank longer and last longer — ours are engineered to do both.
QA'd before it ships
Every update runs automated quality and uptime checks first — broken links, mobile rendering, load speed, form integrity. If it fails, it doesn't publish. You're not the one who finds the bug at 2am.
A claim validator that says no
Before any text reaches your live site it passes a validator built to block invented licenses, fake certifications, “#1 rated” with nothing behind it, guarantees you never authorized, reviews that were never written.
Fixed pricing, no surprises
Foundation: $300 to launch, $99/month to run. Growth: $600 and $179/month for up to 10 pages that grow monthly. Pay annually, get two months free. Hosting, SEO, your edits, monitoring, and reporting are inside the number. Bigger work is quoted up front, in writing.

- ✕Claim licenses, bonding, or certifications you don't hold

The honest site is the one that wins — in search, and on your street. That's the only kind we build.
The same studio. A different price tag.
Velasari is the local-business division of Dept5 — the digital-production studio behind launches for Blizzard, Disney, Paramount+, Square Enix, Sony Pictures, Google, Microsoft, and Deloitte. For years that craft stayed locked behind big-company budgets. Dept5 built a production system, supervised by the same team, that builds and keeps local-business sites current — fast, at a price a local shop can afford, with a Dept5 person standing behind the work. None of those names matter to your customers — the habits do: launch-day quality checks, claims that are true, pages that load before the next listing.
Answers, before you ask.
How does pricing work?
Two plans. Foundation: $300 one-time to design and launch a 5-page site, then $99/month with 2 edit requests included. Growth: $600 setup for up to 10 pages, then $179/month with 5 edit requests plus one new page every month. Pay annually and get two months free. Need more than your plan includes? An extra edit is a flat $35, an extra page $99 — always quoted before we start, never auto-charged.
How much does a website cost for a plumber, roofer, or HVAC company?
With Velasari: $300 one-time to design and launch a 5-page site, then $99/month with hosting, edits, and search upkeep included — or $600 and $179/month for a bigger site that grows every month. For comparison, a custom agency build typically runs $3,000–$10,000 up front plus a monthly retainer, and DIY builders run $20–50/month plus your own nights and weekends doing all the work. In most trades, one booked job covers a year of Velasari.
How is Velasari different from Wix, Squarespace, or hiring an agency?
Wix and Squarespace sell you software — the building, writing, updating, and getting-found work is still your job, forever. An agency does the work for you, but typically at $500+/month with a 12-month contract. Velasari is done-for-you at a software price: a professional team builds and runs your site from $99/month, month to month, and you own the site, the content, and the domain. You never touch software. You get a monthly report instead.
Do you actually maintain the site every month, or is it set-and-forget?
Every month our system ships real work: your included edit requests (two on Foundation, five on Growth — plus a new page on Growth), upkeep that keeps you showing up on Google and in AI answers, uptime and QA monitoring, and a report that shows exactly what changed. If a month goes by and nothing improved, we didn't do our job.
Who owns the website?
You do — the content, the copy, your domain, and your brand are yours. If you ever leave, you keep what's yours; we hand off your content and point your domain wherever you want.
What happens if I want to cancel?
Cancel anytime, no penalty. We export your content, release your domain, and give you a clean handoff so nothing holds you hostage.
Motion that converts.
Static sites tell. Motion sells. The same craft Dept5 builds for the majors — pointed at your local site. HTML5 animations and short videos that turn scrolls into calls.
Built by the same team that keeps your site current, and reviewed by a Dept5 person before anything goes live. Ask for it any time; we scope and quote it first.
