Frequently Asked Questions

We are always creating new website designs, page templates and sections that you can slot into pages on your website. Our Cloud Library provides you with access to this from within your own website that you can quickly create new pages by dropping in different sections from the cloud library.

Yes. The Villa Engine service, templates and our time to install and setup is completely free at this time. The only cost you need to consider is the payment you will make to register your domain and also to your hosting provider. We have fine-tuned your website to work with a particular host, so you should expect to pay $13 (at current rates) per month for their hosting. If you would rather host elsewhere, you can move your website at any time.

We receive a small one-off commision for referring you to this host which helps fund the free service. It won’t cover all of our time, so in future we will most likely charge a small fee for this service. For now though, we don’t plan to charge anything.

For the most part, our guides and tutorials will be enough to get you up and running. The ‘Head Start’ plan takes that a step further by letting us do all the up-front work for you. We have gone to great effort to create a website that you will be able to maintain yourself, but if you do need us, we offer a small block of hours that you can purchase and then dip into when you need it.

My original idea was to create something that owners could completely manage themselves. This will be the case for many and I will be recording video guides and instructions to help cover the vast majority of your questions.

However, over the years I’ve discovered that different owners have different support needs. Some like to be fully hands on, while others prefer to offload everything to a web developer. Having a block of hours means that you can use as much or as little as needed.

When you use your block of hours, we deduct time in 10 minute increments and notify you as soon as it drops below 1 hour so that you can charge it up.

The support block is for small tasks, advice and to help you get unstuck. We like to think of these as small jobs that can be completed in less than 20 minutes.
