about Tofino Internet Services Ltd.

The business maintains three different but related divisions, all of which are run by John Platenius:

• We work with clients to help them manage their website more effectively. We work on a monthly retainer to make sure the client gets fast and professional service when their website needs updating. We have different levels of retainer depending on the needs of the client.
• We help a number of clients with their website marketing and advertising. Lately this work has focussed on tourism-related business and includes help understanding and managing the website's Google Analytics reporting and Adwords Campaigns.
• We also own and operate a number of our own websites. Our local travel guide, Tofino-BC.com (aka: Tofino Guide) is an example of one of our more established sites (1997!). It is also a book.

But I do have a life outside of my office.

When I'm not staring at the screen, selling books or meeting with clients I enjoy adventuring with my family. Sarah and I have two kids (Reed, age 14; Chloe, age 12). We're all hikers, surfers, boaters, bikers and campers -- often times we combine these all into one adventure! I've been fortunate to explore Clayoquot Sound, my wild and expansive backyard, via foot, Zodiac, quad, oyster skiff, canoe and float plane. And I'm looking forward to more...
