You make your own changes in Valacia Studio using a phone, tablet or computer. Your time therefore contributes to its total, just as it does for a website builder.

The Calculation
Behind Each Total

Each formula covers thirty-six months. It uses the figures you enter without estimating missing costs.

Valacia At Its Published Prices

(plan price × 36, or yearly price × 3) + domain a year × 3 + hours a month × 36 × your hourly value

We host the platform on Google Cloud; you manage the website in Valacia Studio. Plan fees alone total £648 for Pro and £2,124 for Business when paid monthly, or £594 and £1,947 when paid yearly. An annual plan costs eleven monthly payments, giving one month free. The fourteen-day trial sits before the paid period and is not counted.

A Builder You Manage

monthly fee × 36 + domain a year × 3 + hours a month × 36 × your hourly value

This route includes the time you spend managing the website, priced at your own hourly value. Leaving a field empty counts it as zero.

A Freelance Or Contract Website

one-off build + hosting a month × 36 + domain a year × 3 + changes a year × 3 × price per change

The initial website is paid for once. Hosting, the domain and chargeable changes are counted throughout the three years.

A Website With A Monthly Service

monthly fee × 36 + domain a year × 3

This assumes the supplier makes the changes covered by that monthly fee. Your own editing time is not added, so check what the service includes.

Our published prices state the full amount you pay us. A blank cost field contributes zero; it does not mean the service is free.

Look Beyond The Total

Use the arithmetic to narrow your options, then check the practical terms that make a website worth keeping.

Search Visibility

Technical SEO helps a website load quickly and makes its pages readable and indexable by search engines. It is included in Valacia. Ranking still depends on your market; neither this calculator nor any provider can promise a position.

Time You Could Spend Elsewhere

Set an hourly value that makes sense for your business. Managing a website may be work you enjoy, or time taken away from customers. The comparison makes that choice visible without deciding its value for you.

Future Price Changes

We give at least thirty days' email notice before an active Valacia subscription changes price. You can cancel beforehand at no charge. Clause 5.1 of the Valacia Terms sets out the commitment.

The Freedom To Leave

A monthly Valacia subscription has no minimum term or cancellation fee. Your domain remains registered in your name. Check equivalent terms when considering any other quote.

Your Questions Answered

How Much Will A Website Cost Over Three Years?

It depends on the route and the terms you choose. At today's published monthly prices, Valacia Pro is £18 and Business is £59, giving plan totals of £648 and £2,124 over thirty-six months. Domain charges and your own time are additional. Other providers' totals use the quotes you enter.

Is There A Useful Average Website Price?

A single average combines websites with very different requirements and support arrangements. A more useful comparison uses your actual quotes, the changes you expect to need and the cost of hosting them over the same period.

Why Does The Comparison Cover Three Years?

Recurring costs can look small beside an initial development fee. Thirty-six months makes hosting, subscriptions, domains and ongoing changes easier to weigh together, over a period a business can plan for.

Where Do The Other Providers' Prices Come From?

You supply them. The calculator contains our published plan prices but no preset quotes for builders, freelancers or monthly services. Use current proposals or invoices that apply to your business.

Are My Figures Saved Or Shared?

Everything is calculated within the open browser tab. Inputs are neither stored nor sent to us, and they disappear when the tab closes. The URL does not contain your figures. Copy the results as text if you want to keep them.

Why Does My Time Count On Valacia?

You make your own changes to wording and photographs in Valacia Studio, using a phone, tablet or computer. We run, secure and back up the platform. The comparison therefore values your time on Valacia as well as on a website builder.

How Should I Decide Between The Routes?

Compare the totals alongside the work each route leaves with you. Valacia is a self-managed website at a fixed subscription price, with no upfront charge. If you want someone else to make every change, examine the freelance and monthly-service options. A business needing software designed for its own processes should consider a custom SaaS application.

When The Website Needs Its Own Software

A calculator comparing standard website routes cannot price a custom operational system. If your business needs its own workflows, portal or application, start with our bespoke service.
