About OKCS

Our Mission

OK Computer Solutions has a clear goal: to ensure local small businesses in the Okanagan Valley have every opportunity to succeed in today's competitive marketplace.

We know that running a business is hard work. You're an expert in your field, whether that's plumbing, landscaping, roofing, etc. You shouldn't have to be a tech expert too. That's where we come in.

Our Story

Founded in 2002 by Sheppe Pharis, OK Computer Solutions has spent over two decades building a legacy of excellence in the Okanagan Valley. Since our inception, we have partnered with diverse regional entities, large-scale corporations, and local small businesses to deliver robust digital solutions.

Today, our mission has evolved. We have sharpened our focus to support reputable small businesses and entrepreneurs who currently have no web presence. We believe that every business deserves a professional window to the world, so we offer you an affordable, completely hands-off approach. We handle the technical complexities so owners can focus on what they do best, knowing their online identity is in expert hands.

• Human First: When you call, we answer. No automated phone trees, just real people ready to help.
• Affordability: We offer premium quality at a price point that makes sense for small businesses.
• Simplicity: One package, one price. No hidden fees or confusing tech jargon.
