Velour Web

Event planner websites · Free with hosting

A free website for your event planning business. You pay hosting, $50 a month.

Event planners anywhere in the US get a hand-coded company website from Velour Web with no build fee; the whole cost is hosting at $50 a month, billed $600 for the first year. A page for each event type you produce, a past-events page, and an inquiry form that reads like an RFP, live in 2 to 4 weeks and handed over as code after the first year.

Pages built around event types, not a brochure

A corporate client, a nonprofit gala committee and a parent planning a fortieth birthday search differently and buy differently, and a single services paragraph serves none of them. The site gives each event type you want its own page: corporate events and conferences, social events and milestone parties, nonprofit fundraisers and galas, brand activations, and weddings if you take them. Each page explains the scope, the process, a typical budget range or minimum, and shows the events of that type you have produced.

Around those pages: a home page that names your specialty and your city in the first screen, an about page for you and the team, a past-events page sorted by type with venue and partner credits, an FAQ, and a contact page with the inquiry form.

  • One page per event type: corporate, social, nonprofit, conference, party, plus weddings if you want them
  • Past events sorted by type, each with venue, headcount and the partners you worked with
  • Capabilities summary that a corporate buyer can forward to a manager
  • Inquiry form that asks event type, date or date range, headcount, venue status and budget range
  • FAQ and business schema so Google and AI search can describe what you do

An inquiry form that reads like an RFP

Corporate and nonprofit buyers often arrive with a request for proposal in mind, and a two-field contact form makes them write the brief in an email instead. Ours asks for event type, the date or window, expected headcount, whether a venue is booked, a budget range and the decision timeline, then delivers the answers to your inbox and to your HoneyBook, Dubsado or Planning Pod lead form if you use one. For social clients the same form takes thirty seconds on a phone, and tap-to-call stays on the screen throughout.

How it works and what it costs

A free 20-minute call covers the event types you want more of, the cities and venues you work in, and what you have to show. You get a written page map and a launch date within one business day and approve the design on desktop and phone before we write code. We build on one of three layouts, Classic, Editorial or Minimal, write the pages from a 30-minute interview if you prefer, and launch on your domain in 2 to 4 weeks.

  • Build: $0, no deposit and nothing due at launch
  • Hosting: $50 a month, billed $600 for the first year, then month to month; CDN, SSL, backups, monitoring, security updates and DNS included
  • Small text edits included; new pages or features at $120 an hour, or included on Growth from $549 a month
  • Domain in your name, about $15 a year at the registrar
  • Code handed over after the first paid year, or any time for a $999 buyout

Why we can do this for free

Design on a tested layout takes a day instead of a week, and the first year of hosting covers the build. What makes the business work is that you stay: an event company whose site brings inquiries renews, and some later add a page a month for new cities or event types on Growth. That is the whole model, and it is why there is no deposit to protect.

What to know before you say yes

The first year's hosting, $600, is paid up front and is not refundable after launch. The design comes from one of our layouts, adapted to your brand, not from a blank page. The code is yours after the first paid year or on the $999 buyout; your domain and content are yours from the start. Ticketing and registration run on your existing tool, Eventbrite, Cvent or the like, linked or embedded; we do not build ticketing software in this scope, and we do not build online stores, which belong on Shopify.

Who this is for

Independent event planners and small production companies anywhere in the US. Corporate planners whose current site is a logo and a phone number. Party planners running the business from Instagram. Nonprofit event specialists who need a page a board member can vet. Companies on a dated WordPress or Wix site, where the rebuild keeps the domain and redirects every URL. We are based in San Diego and Los Angeles and the work happens over calls and email; wedding planners have their own version of this page, organized by package rather than by event type.

Classic, Editorial or Minimal

Classic leads with a full-width event photo and a calm, structured services grid, the right register for corporate and nonprofit buyers. Editorial uses larger type and photo pairs to tell the story of a few signature events, which suits social and celebration planners. Minimal is text-first, with compact galleries and the event-type pages one tap from the top, the quickest to read on a phone and the best fit for a new company. Each is adapted to your colors and typography, and each loads in under a second.

Against the alternatives, as of October 2026

Prices from the platforms' own pages on October 17, 2026:

  • Wix: premium plans from $17.77 a month billed yearly; the free plan uses a wixsite.com address and carries Wix branding. You do the design, the writing and the upkeep.
  • Squarespace: $19 to $49 a month billed annually for the plans a planner would use, $25 to $65 billed monthly, with a free domain for the first year on annual plans. Good templates, your hours.
  • WordPress: the software is free; hosting, a theme and plugins come to a few hundred dollars a year, plus updates and security that someone has to own.
  • A designer or agency: a few thousand dollars for a freelancer, five figures for an agency, plus whichever platform they build on.
  • Velour Web: $0 build, $50 a month hosting billed $600 the first year, hand-coded and written for you, yours after year one.

FAQ

Common questions

Is the event planner website really free?

Yes, the build is: no deposit, no invoice at launch, no fee later. You pay hosting at $50 a month, billed $600 for the first year and month to month from year two, and that covers the CDN, SSL, backups, uptime monitoring, security updates, DNS and small text edits.

Can one site cover corporate, social and nonprofit events without looking scattered?

Yes, because each event type gets its own page with its own scope, process, budget guidance and past events, and the home page names the two or three you want most. A buyer lands on the page that matches their event and never sees the rest unless they look.

Do corporate buyers actually read a planner's website?

They do, usually before they reply to a referral. A procurement contact or an executive assistant looks for a capabilities summary, past events of the same type and size, named venues and a way to send requirements. A site that gives them those in two minutes gets the RFP.

Can you connect Eventbrite, HoneyBook or Planning Pod?

Yes. Ticketing and registration tools are linked or embedded on the event pages, and lead-management tools receive the inquiry form through their own form or an embed. We do not write ticketing or payment software in this scope; that is Custom work.

I plan parties on the side. Is this too much site?

No. A side business gets the Minimal layout with five pages: home, about, a party planning page with starting prices, a past-events page and contact. The cost is the same, and when the business grows, pages for new event types are added as small edits or on Growth.

Do I own the site, and can I leave?

Your domain and content are yours from day one, and the code is handed over after the first paid year or on a $999 buyout. From year two hosting is month to month, so you can cancel any month and take the site with you.

How soon can it be live?

Two to four weeks from the call, provided we have your photos and the interview is done in the first week. You get a launch date in the written page map, and if we have not launched within six weeks of receiving your content you can cancel for a full refund.
