If you want to be able to set up online transactions, but don’t quite know how, come and talk to us and we’ll make it happen.

Contemporary Art Gallery

We worked closely with Contemporary Art Gallery to make their redesign a reality. Using a design supplied by CAG we migrated their existing content into a new WordPress install, updating their WooCommerce templates to a current version. Moving to a lightweight minimal custom theme means the site now loads much faster, giving their users a more responsive experience on both mobile and desktop devices. Streamlined custom event management means that users can see what’s on at the gallery at a glance.

West Coast Seeds

West Coast Seeds came to us in need of a template rebuild in a short time frame in order to get their e-commerce site page load speeds under control during their busy season. We were able to accommodate their short time frame and deliver a completely rebuilt, faster template, bringing their page load to under 2 seconds DCL (DOM Content Loaded) time, a time savings of over 20 seconds per page load.

In order to further speed up their site we replaced their use of Visual Composer with in house functionality, custom built to their specifications, and were able to trim out many unnecessary page slowing plugins by replacing them with bespoke functionality.

 

Italian Cultural Centre

The Italian Cultural Centre (Il Centro) is a community hub for anyone in Vancouver seeking anything from banquet services to Italian classes. The site presents their range of services clearly, using an integrated WordPress multisite. With a unique dashboard for each department within Il Centro, this site’s user interface is optimized for different tasks, from registration and ticketing to news updates. Sites on the network also take advantage of WooCommerce integration and Il Centro can sell tickets to their events without the overhead of a third party reseller with Event Espresso.

Our long term working relationship means we have moved beyond traditional web services and we now also provide and maintain cloud based backup services with redundancy, giving Il Centro confidence in their data storage solutions, and have created 360° Photo Spheres of their rental venues attached to their Google Places listing, and embedded them in the site.

Learn a Little Bit More

Learn a Little Bit More is designed and built to be a online platform where Tom Thomas can connect, support, and assist people to overcome obstacles in study and life online with ease. This website features: public & private content, membership payment methods, private media exchange, private message exchange, user specific content, and integration with social media.

Apothekari

Apothekari is an e-commerce site that requested for us to rebuild and update upon their current design. It features the e-commerce platform, woocommerce, user-submitted testimonials, multiple slideshows, gravity forms integration, and a reward points system. The rewards system features the ability to allow users to obtain points when sharing on social media platforms and referring a friend after their first purchase.

Hort Education

We migrated the Hort Education site from their old, difficult to use CMS to an integrated WordPress network. This allow them to feature content published on any of the other sites on that WordPress network, keeping the home page content fresh. We also did a redesign update on this site, keeping elements of the original design intact and updating it to be fully responsive and display across all devices. The design features slideshows, calendars, and dynamic content. Additional features include: event, job, and applicant registrations, as well as numerous custom post types. 

Artinas Jewellery

With Artinas Jewellery, we designed and built their site to deal with a large inventory of products and the challenges that grow from managing such a database. When they decided to migrate to an e-commerce option Artinas Jewellery came to us for a redesign and development. We took advantage of their large inventory and were able to import their existing data into WooCommerce while adding features like online and in store Gift Cards along the way. With site wide HTTPS their customer’s data is secure, and Payfirma integration handles payment processing.

Olive B Designs

We designed and built a responsive theme with an emphasis on product management for Olive B Designs. The built in e commerce functionality allows the site to respond fluidly to product availability and the creation of new collections of jewellery. The largely monochrome theme lets the images take center stage, and custom post types allow the easy management of promotional materials and press clippings.

Good Space Plan

We built an online interior design service that allows people to get professional help to design and execute their DIY interior renovations. We worked with Good Space and custom built a collaborative space for client and designer to interact and automated much of the pre-sale work. This complex network of collaborative projects is built upon WordPress and integrated with BuddyPress as a collaborative tool.

Bag O’ Swag

An e-commerce site with a responsive mobile-ready theme. The clients needed a storefront for their goody bags that was easy to navigate, visually appealing, and free from distractions.  With the WordPress CMS, they can update their site to reflect the changing seasons and their customer’s needs.
