Fair questions, straight answers
If your question isn't here, send it over. It'll probably end up on this page.
What exactly arrives each month?
Finished deliverables, not raw output. On Harbor that's a P&L summary with plain-English variance notes; Compass adds keyword research, optimized pages, and content briefs; Voyage adds email sequences and a campaign calendar. Everything arrives by email, formatted and ready to use.
How are you this much cheaper than an agency or a hire?
Because the process is efficient: internal tooling, including AI-assisted drafting, handles the repetitive first pass. A person then reviews, corrects, and signs off on every deliverable before it ships. You get agency-grade output without agency overhead, and you will never receive an unreviewed first draft.
Are you an accounting firm?
No, and we don't pretend to be. Vela prepares management-use reports: organized, CRA-aware summaries that make your numbers legible. We work happily alongside your bookkeeper or CPA, and many deliverables make their job faster too.
How does pricing work?
Fixed monthly pricing in Canadian dollars: Harbor $395, Compass $749, Voyage $1,195, and Horizon from $1,995 depending on scope. Website builds are a one-time fee ($995 to $8,995+) plus monthly upkeep. No setup fees, no long-term contracts. Engagements continue month to month and cancel with 30 days' notice.
Do you build websites too?
Yes, four fixed-scope builds, named after boats: Dinghy ($995, informational site, no online checkout), Sloop ($2,495, basic e-commerce with hosted checkout), Clipper ($4,495, e-commerce with metadata and SEO built in), and Galleon (from $8,995, fully custom with backend features, motion design, and personalization). Each includes a monthly upkeep plan from $49 to $299.
How does the bundle discount work?
Subscribe to any operations plan (Harbor through Horizon) and your website build drops 20% and upkeep is half price, rounded down in your favour. Example: a Sloop goes from $2,495 to $1,996 to build, and upkeep from $99 to $49 a month. The discount applies for as long as you're subscribed.
How do quotes work?
Entirely over email. You write to velaworkscanada@gmail.com (the quote page pre-fills the message for you), we reply within two business days with exact scope and pricing, and nothing starts until you say so. No discovery-call gauntlet unless you want one.
Where is Vela located?
Canada: remote-first, serving clients in every province. Financial deliverables are formatted with CRA requirements in mind, and SEO work targets Canadian search behaviour specifically.
What happens to my data?
Your data is used only to produce your deliverables. Engagements include a written scope with data-consent terms, and we maintain Quebec Law 25 awareness for clients with Quebec customers. We never resell or repurpose client data.
Can I change plans later?
Yes, plans adjust at any month boundary. The natural route is starting in Harbor, seeing what a clean month-end feels like, and adding Compass when you're ready to grow.
