ORNAHD

The periOperative Registered Nurses Association of Hamilton & District had an existing web site that did not meet their needs, and were looking for a replacement. Within a short time frame, we created a new site with added functionality including an Administrative area where they could manage aspects of the site, a password-protected Board area for hosting files, and an online registration system for their regional conference.

China Emerald Buffet

This site was a total redesign from the ground up. Since the restaurant had moved to a new location, they wanted to breath new life into their web site. We designed a site that greatly increased their search engine ranking, was visually appealing and incorporated important elements such as a full take-out menu and driving directions with an interactive map.

ORNAC

The Operating Room Nurses Association of Canada had an existing web site, but were having issues with editing and feature limitations. They wanted to find a company that would handle site updates, provide more robust features, as well as ensure security for their board members work files. We created a site that maintained a similar look to the old site, but with far more functionality. Their new site contains a secure members area, a public discussion forum, easily editable news & events calendars, full-site search, and much more.

Niagara Rails

Niagara Rails is a privately owned site for rail fans. It has an abundance of information and photos of everything rail-related across the Niagara Region. The site was becoming too unwieldy for the owner to handle, so we redesigned it to be database-driven with a fancy new layout template that could be easily integrated with all sub-pages.

ORNGT

The periOperative Registered Nurses of Greater Toronto is a regional group of ORNAO. They required a web site to help publicize their fundraising events and allow prospective members to easily join. They also needed a general location for their existing members to keep up-to-date with upcoming events, past meeting minutes and scholarship information. We created a low-maintenance web site for them which easily allows the editing of their own events calendars, uploading of past meeting minutes for the general membership, as well as management of password-protected content for Executive Members only. Future additions to the site will include a registration system for accepting membership fee payments online.

The Bush Prof

The Bush Prof (aka. Jim McKernan) was looking for a web site to provide additional resources for his students. He wanted an area where he could create and manage his own archive of articles. We created a section that is fully editable by him from the comfort of his home in the remote wilderness of Northern Ontario. The custom interface is clean and simple, providing exactly what he needs to manage his articles, without any unnecessary features.

ORNAA

The Operating Room Nurses of Alberta Association were looking to establish an online presence where they could provide important information to existing members and allow prospective new members to find out about them more readily. They also wanted to use the site as a meeting place for the Executive board to exchange ideas through draft documents, and to provide access to important forms and manuals. We created a password-protected Members Area which enables them to create and manage their own folders and documents, maintain their own user database, as well as easily edit the events calendars of all their districts.

Dr. Catherine Vetrano Dental Centre

Dr. Catherine Vetrano had an existing site with a look she wished to maintain, and needed a company that could effect changes to the site without changing that look. We started by removing the frames to make the site more search engine friendly, then recreated the header graphic in order to reorganize the links and add drop-down menus. Smile Makeover flash animations were redone, and more were added. Keywords were placed to improve search engine ranking.

Party Connection

Party Connection had an existing online shopping site which was not listing well in search engines. We redesigned the entry (splash) page as well as many of the static sub-pages to improve their functionality and aesthetic quality. We also added hidden keywords for search engines.

The site includes an exclusive members area with a friendly interface for accessing important Word, Excel, PowerPoint and PDF documents.

Court Jester Creations

The owner of this site required an online resume that would make him "stand out" from the crowd. We constructed a custom TV-style interface (complete with a working remote control) that would allow prospective employers to browse his work with ease without the need to install special plug-ins. The site is entirely HTML/CSS-based, and is compatible with the latest versions of both Internet Explorer and Mozilla (Netscape).

ORNAO Conference

The Operating Room Nurses Association of Ontario holds a conference every two years, and were interested in advertising the conference online. We provided them with a venue to do so, while also creating a permanent site that will host an archive of past conferences.

Fountain Of Life Fellowship

Fountain Of Life Fellowship was a Foursquare Gospel church located in the Niagara Region, Ontario, Canada. Since they did not previously have an online identity or even a church logo, their entire site was designed from scratch. The site took shape from a photo of a local fountain taken by our in-house photographer, and the logo of their parent organization, the "Foursquare Gospel Church of Canada".
