About Velcrest · Morgantown, WV From up here, every light is somebody's business.
A web design and development studio in Morgantown, West Virginia, built for businesses that refuse to look small.
Why Velcrest exists
Too many good local businesses are running websites that undersell them. They're using outdated templates, generic builders, and agencies that treat them like one project in a queue of a hundred. It's a waste.
Velcrest exists to fix that. We design and build custom websites that load fast, read clearly on a phone, and make it obvious why someone should call you. Velcrest takes a small number of projects at a time on purpose, so no site is ever the third thing on a list.
What Velcrest stands for
Founded in Morgantown, West Virginia
Velcrest was founded on one principle: a small business deserves the same caliber of web presence as anyone else. A slow, dated site costs you the customers who never call, and you never find out it happened. We build the other kind.
That principle decides how the company runs. The price is fixed and in writing before work starts. The site is yours when it is paid for. Whoever builds it is who you talk to. And we do not disappear after launch.
Look like the business you already are. Most local businesses are better than their websites. Velcrest exists to close that gap — project by project, built properly, priced plainly, and handed over so that it belongs to you.
The Velcrest Standard
No testimonials yet. Commitments instead.
Velcrest is new, and pretending otherwise would be a strange way to start. So rather than borrowed credibility, here is what we commit to in every project agreement.
One fixed price, in writing
You get an exact price before any work starts, and it does not change unless you change the scope.
On a custom website, you own all of it
Your domain is registered in your name wherever possible, and on final payment the code, design files and content made for you are yours — free to move to another host or developer, with no platform holding them. Fonts and libraries stay under their own licenses.
A direct line to the work
When you call, you reach the person who designs and builds your site — there is no account manager, no ticket queue, and no handoff to someone you have not met.
Accessible by default
We use the WCAG 2.2 Level AA guidelines as our checklist: real contrast ratios, keyboard navigation, labeled forms, and alt text that describes each meaningful image. Checked, not assumed — here is how.
Thirty days of free fixes
For thirty days after launch, anything broken, or not working the way the approved design said it would, gets fixed at no charge.
Why Choose Velcrest
Fast By Default
Every page is built to load fast. Speed is part of the design, not an afterthought — the site has to hold up on a phone on a bad connection, because that is how many people will first see it.
Designed, Not Assembled
No drag-and-drop templates and no theme bought off a marketplace. Every custom layout is composed around your brand and the decision your customer is trying to make.
Built to Grow
Structured for search from day one, with semantic HTML, clear heading hierarchy, and on-page SEO fundamentals. Easy to extend as your business grows.
Yours to Run
You get a handover pack covering what you need to run the site yourself, and the code is plain enough for any developer to pick up. Nothing depends on a plugin or a platform that can change its terms.
Tested Where It Counts
Every site is checked at phone, tablet and desktop sizes and on a throttled connection before launch, not just on a desktop monitor. You see it on a private link and approve it before it goes live.
Hosting Handled
Managed hosting, SSL, daily backups and uptime monitoring are available as an optional monthly plan from $250 a month, so hosting, backups and updates are handled for you after launch.
