# Made by Velocity

> Made by Velocity designs and builds websites for small businesses, starting at $3,000 and delivered in under two weeks. It is the small-business studio inside QStart Labs, a Dublin, Ohio software firm whose other work includes CJIS-compliant law enforcement platforms and AI-powered sales tools — so these marketing sites are built by the same engineers, to the same standard, at small-business price and speed.

Every site ships optimized for both classical search (Google, Bing) and generative engines (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews). Sites are custom-designed, not assembled from templates, and are built on modern web technology — typically Nuxt or Next.js, or an optimized WordPress build where the client needs it.
