Lark Websites

Everything, with the number on it

The whole price list

33 products, each with a fixed price and a written list of what it includes. Nothing here is priced by the hour. Nothing here changes once I have met you.

Two tiers

The difference is where the design and the words come from. Every other standard on this page applies to both.

Before you book

Questions

Why is every price on the website?

Because the alternative wastes your time. Most agencies make you sit through a discovery call before they name a number, and the number depends on what they think you can pay. Every price here is fixed and the same for everyone. You can decide whether to call me before you call me.

Do you ever charge by the hour?

No. Everything is a product with a fixed price and a written list of what it includes. If the work grows, I name the new number in writing before anything moves. You never get an invoice you did not expect.

What is the real difference between Template and Custom?

Template means my layouts with your brand, your words, and your photographs applied. It is fast because the design decisions are already made. Custom means the design, the words, and the structure are made for your business from nothing. Template starts at $8,500 and runs three weeks. Custom starts at $28,000 and runs eight to ten weeks.

Why does Custom cost three times Template?

Strategy, original design, and original writing. A Custom build includes discovery, competitor research, keyword research, a design system, two homepage directions, and every page written from an interview with you. A Template build includes none of that, on purpose, which is why it is fast and cheap.

What happens if I pick Template and then want custom work?

It becomes a Custom build and I tell you the number before anything moves. The Template price holds only while the Template conditions hold: finished copy and photographs up front, one named approver, feedback inside three business days, and one revision round.

Do I own the website?

Yes. You own the code, the domain, the content, and every account. Nothing is locked to me. If you leave, I hand over the files and the logins and help your next person find their way around.

Do I have to buy a care plan?

No. Care plans are a separate product and you can cancel any month. A site with no plan still works. It just means updates, backups, and monitoring are yours to run.

Are these prices in Canadian dollars?

Yes, every price on this site is Canadian. GST is added at invoicing.

Do you work outside Kelowna?

Yes. Most of the work happens over video either way. Kelowna and the Okanagan get in person sessions at no extra cost.

How do I start?

Book a call. It takes twenty minutes and ends with a written scope and a fixed price. There is no charge for it and no pressure after it.

Pick the line you want and book a call.

Twenty minutes. It ends with a written scope and the price you already read here.
