What does a startup website from Verlua include?
A startup website from Verlua is built to bring in signups before you have a sales team. It is set up to be found on Google and in AI answers like ChatGPT, gives every visitor one clear next step (waitlist, beta or demo), tracks which pages convert, and stays easy to change when the product pivots.
Found on Google
Pages for the problems you solve and the people you serve, with clean titles, internal links and schema markup, so search traffic can start from launch.
Found in AI answers
Built for ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews (AEO): text AI crawlers can read, crawler access in robots.txt, answer-first pages, FAQ schema and an llms.txt file.
Built to turn visitors into signups
One clear next step on every page, short waitlist, beta or demo forms, and tracking that shows which pages bring signups.
Fast on every phone
Light, mobile-first pages tested on phones, tablets and desktop before launch.
A design that makes you look established
A visual identity and layouts that explain what you do in one screen, for customers and investors alike.
Yours to own and grow
Your code, domain and accounts, built on components that are easy to change when you pivot. No minimum contract.

Startup Website FAQ
How fast can you build a startup website or MVP?
It depends on scope: a landing page is a much smaller job than a full product site or an MVP. You get a written timeline with milestones after the discovery call. We build on modern frameworks like Next.js and reuse proven components, so time goes into your product, not boilerplate.
Do you work with pre-seed and seed stage startups?
Yes. A marketing site runs $2,500 – $5,000 one-time, and a common path is to start with a landing page or a small site and add to it as you raise funding. Product work beyond a marketing site is scoped after a discovery call.
Can you help with investor pitch decks and demo sites?
Yes. We build investor-ready websites and demo environments that show the product clearly, with plain value propositions and working prototypes where they help.
Will a startup website show up in AI answers like ChatGPT?
We build every site for it: page text AI crawlers can read, crawler access in robots.txt, pages that answer real questions in the first lines, FAQ schema, and an llms.txt file that describes the company. A new domain takes time to earn trust, and no one can guarantee a mention in ChatGPT or Google AI Overviews.
How do you handle rapid iteration and pivots?
We build with flexibility in mind. Our modular approach means we can quickly adjust designs, add features, or pivot the entire concept as your startup evolves. We use component-based architecture that makes changes fast and cost-effective.
