Six Okanagan destinations · Two adjacent BC propertiesMany places.
One connected platform.
The Okanagan Network is Sphere’s owned publishing project, bringing a portfolio of city domains into one connected regional product.
Each site answers the questions of one place while a shared system keeps content structure, media delivery and the movement between destinations coherent.
The network
A corridor of
local entry points.
Six distinct domains follow the Okanagan lake corridor from Vernon to Osoyoos. Hover or focus a location to preview the live destination site.
Kamloops.com and Revelstoke.com use the same broader network pattern beyond the Okanagan.Shared system, local subject
One model.
Six editorial lenses.
The interface establishes a recognizable family—strong mastheads, editorial grids and common planning tools—without collapsing the destinations into one generic regional website. The local domain remains the product surface.

The content product
Inspiration that leads
to a decision.
The network combines magazine-style discovery with the practical layers people need to plan: events, stays, weather, webcams, resources and local businesses.
That breadth lets one piece of content serve as an entry point, then keeps related decisions inside the destination experience.
- 01
Discover
Destination stories turn local geography, culture and seasonal activities into useful reasons to explore.
- 02
Plan
Events, places to stay, weather, webcams and practical resources support the decisions around a visit.
- 03
Choose
Food and drink, things to do, galleries and business-directory content help readers move from inspiration to a specific place.
- 04
Continue
Cross-links between city domains let a trip expand naturally along the corridor and into neighbouring British Columbia destinations.
Observed public architecture
Editorial scale.
Selective interactivity.
The public sites expose a performance-minded delivery pattern: content-rich pages render as HTML, while interactive sections are isolated and hydrated only where needed.
Based on current public page output and response headers—not private infrastructure access.
- 01Content layer
Strapi-shaped entries
Public page output carries reusable articles, businesses, media, credits and cross-link records from a structured editorial model.
→ - 02Experience layer
Astro + Vue islands
Pages arrive with substantial server-rendered content; interactive widgets hydrate selectively where the experience needs them.
→ - 03Media layer
Cloudinary transforms
Responsive image variants, modern formats and crop rules adapt a large regional photo library to each card and screen.
→ - 04Delivery layer
Vercel edge delivery
Cached page responses, immutable assets and a global delivery layer support a content-heavy multi-domain experience.
Claim boundaryThe live output supports these delivery observations. It does not, by itself, prove private editorial workflows, deployment automation or undocumented integrations.
Beyond the valley
The model keeps
travelling north.
Kamloops.com and Revelstoke.com extend the same idea into two very different British Columbia destinations: one a regional city shaped by rivers and grasslands, the other a mountain community built around outdoor culture.
The result
A portfolio of domains
becomes one regional product.
Visitors can enter through the place they already know, discover locally specific stories and practical resources, then move across a connected network without losing the editorial language of the experience.
- Six Okanagan destination domains
- Two additional British Columbia properties
- Shared content and component patterns
- Locally focused search entry points
- Responsive media delivery
