The Founder
Aaron Burchart, Founder
Aaron graduated from Seneca College in 2004 with a diploma in Computer Programming Analysis. Over the following 15 years, he built experience in business operations and project management while continuing to develop his understanding of how companies actually grow.
Instead of going straight into development, Aaron opened a 1,200 sq ft fitness studio in Ontario in 2015 and ran it until 2020. Over those five years, the business generated $2.5 million in total revenue, driven by a system of paid advertising, front-end offers, and conversion-focused marketing that he built and managed himself.
He sold the business in 2020 and returned to web development with a different set of priorities.

Why It Matters
Most developers have never had their own revenue on the line.
Running a business changes how you think about a website. When your own income depends on leads coming in, you stop thinking about design and start thinking about what makes someone pick up the phone.
That background shapes how every project at Burkstreet Media is approached. Each page is built with a genuine understanding of how customers search, how local intent works, and what causes a visitor to take action.
It also means understanding what a lead is actually worth. That informs decisions around structure, copy, and SEO in a way that theory alone does not.
The core difference: Most web agencies can build a website. Fewer understand how a local service business depends on search visibility, how reputation affects conversion, or what it actually costs when leads stop coming in.
What We Do
Web development and marketing systems for service businesses.
Burkstreet Media builds the digital infrastructure that local businesses need to generate consistent leads online.

How We Work
Strategy and copy come before design.
Every project starts with research. Before any design work begins, we study the market, identify what competitors are doing, and map out how each page should be structured to rank in search and convert real visitors.
Copy is written before design starts. The words define the structure. The design supports the message.
The final build is clean and practical. Nothing is added for aesthetics alone. Every element has a purpose.
Market and competitor research
Understand the landscape before building anything.
Keyword and local SEO analysis

Page structure for ranking and conversion

Copy written before design begins
Words are finalized first. Design comes second.
Clean, purposeful build
Design supports the copy. Every decision has a reason.
Who We Work With
Local businesses that depend on a steady flow of leads.
Burkstreet Media works best with business owners who understand that a website is a lead generation tool, not a brochure.
These are businesses where consistent online leads have a direct impact on monthly revenue. That clarity makes it possible to build something that actually moves the needle.
