Veravix started as a way to answer the questions that actually come up while building a website — not the questions a textbook assumes you have. Most people land on this site mid-task: stuck on a decision, unsure whether something’s set up correctly, or hunting for a straight answer to a problem holding up a real build. Every article here is written to meet that exact moment, rather than to cover a topic in the abstract for its own sake.
The site is run by Etienne Basson, who has spent years working through nearly every part of what running a website actually involves — choosing and setting up hosting, picking a platform and a design, performance and security work, running an online store, and the content and SEO side that determines whether a site gets found at all. That background is why the writing here leans practical and opinionated where the experience backs it up, rather than hedging every recommendation into vagueness.
Coverage spans the full lifecycle of building and maintaining a site, across whatever platform you’re actually using: choosing a domain and hosting, setting things up correctly from day one, picking a design that won’t cause headaches later, structuring navigation and categories, writing content that actually ranks, securing a site against common attacks, keeping it fast, running an online store, connecting analytics, and the business side of freelance web work. These are treated as connected topics rather than isolated ones, because a decision made in one area — hosting, say — quietly shapes what’s possible in another, like performance or security.
Most readers here are building or managing something of their own — first-timers working through a build step by step, and more experienced site owners who want the reasoning behind a recommendation rather than an instruction to follow blindly. If a search brought you to a specific article, it was written with that specific situation in mind, aiming to leave you able to make the next decision confidently rather than just clearing the one in front of you.
If anything on the site looks out of date or doesn’t match what you’ve found in your own experience, the contact page is the right place to flag it.
