Courtney’s Journey: From SEO to Web Strategy
Building Websites Google Loves (And So Do Your Customers)
Courtney started her career as an SEO specialist—helping businesses dominate search rankings back when "Google" was still a noun, not a verb. As SEO evolved, she spotted a gap: beautiful websites that ranked well but failed to convert visitors.
That’s when she pivoted to web design and digital strategy, combining her technical SEO chops with a knack for crafting sites that:
-
Rank higher for Okanagan searches (like "gastro pub Penticton")
-
Convert better with clear calls-to-action
-
Load faster (because Google punishes slow sites)
Fun fact: Courtney’s been obsessed with words since she journaled about surfing in Australia and diving in Fiji as a kid. Now in her 40s, she’s swapped journals for keyword maps and heatmaps—but still hoards books (much to her family’s dismay).
"Your website should work like a 24/7 sales rep, not a digital brochure. Let’s build one that actually pays for itself." - Courtney

John’s Story: From Punk Rock to Pixel-Perfect Operations
Where Audio Meets Analytics Keeping Your Digital Strategy in Rhythm
John grew up immersed in the world of sound engineering and storytelling, literally. The son of a TV/radio journalist, he was the kid splicing tape reels after school while his classmates played video games. By his teens, he’d mastered drums, guitar, and bass, eventually touring with a Canadian punk band (yes, that was him on MuchMusic!).
Today, that same precision fuels Porthos Media’s operations:
-
Detail-Oriented – From editing tracks to optimizing websites, John ensures every element just works.
-
Data-Driven – His studio-trained ear now spots patterns in SEO metrics and conversion rates.
-
Always Innovating – (Much to Courtney’s dismay) their basement is now a hybrid sound studio + tech lab, where John and their teenaged son jam between testing site speeds and ad performance.

“Building a website is like mixing an album: every element needs to balance perfectly. Let’s make yours go platinum.”
