OPANA

The Ontario PeriAnesthesia Nurses Association fell victim to an unfortunate incident which resulted in the deletion of their web site with their former web provider. They required a quick replacement for their web site, but also wanted a custom design that was fresh, uncluttered and classy. We were able to accomplish all of this by building the site in stages. The site has many features including a password-protected members' area, discussion forum, virtual board room, client-updateable content, and more.

ORORNA

The Ottawa Regional Operating Room Nurses Association had an existing site that was not working for them. They required a completely new site, and wanted to add some new capabilities as well. We built them a site with the look they wanted, the ability to manage their own events calendar & photo gallery, as well as room for future expansion with a virtual board room for storing and sharing important documents amongst their executive.

Dr. Bina Thomas Dental Centre

Dr. Thomas took over for a dentist whose site we previously managed, and she continued to use our services. We kept her costs low by maintaining the existing site look and feel, and updated the content to suit her new business and attract a new client base. A new domain was registered, but a seamless redirection from the previous domain to the current one maintained all search engine rankings.

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.

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.
