We designed the original static website for the Certificate in Adult Training Program and are now nearing completion of a complete replacement of the site, using the Drupal content management system and CiviCRM, a sophisticated open source customer relationship management application.

The new site simplifies content updating and also handles all course registrations and correspondence with students and other stakeholders. We anticipate implementation in January of 2011, and you can see the current state of development by clicking here.

PAL Canada®® is a national umbrella organization, linking the six (at present) PAL Chapters in Halifax, Toronto, Stratford, Winnipeg, Calgary and Vancouver. This site provides content of interest to Chapters and their members - retired members of the performing arts community.

They brought us in to develop their original website several years ago, and again this past year to complete an extensive update and redesign. This is a Joomla content management systen site. To see it in action please click here.

This site showcases and sells the photographic work of Chris Hutcheson. A Drupal content management system, it uses Slideshow Pro, a sophisticated graphic presentation system, to display his fine art photographs. It also draws information from a variety of other sources.

You can access this site at chrishutcheson.com

You can also see his blog at http://blog.chrishutcheson.com, which runs on Wordpress, popular open source blogging software.

This site began its life at the same time as the Assocation, as a series of static pages and disparate programs, based on a single template. Because the client needed to update content regularly we decided to implement it as a content management system (CMS). We used Joomla, an open source package, to make the switch, and the fact that the client was able to implement virtually all the features of the site after our initial involvement speaks volumes about the value and ease of use of a CMS - in the appropriate situation.

We designed this site for a Toronto cake-maker par excellence. She wanted something simple and easy for prospects to access. The site includes information about the firm, an up-to-date photo gallery of their products, and a quote form that provides a confirmation of receipt of the order while emailing it to the owner as well. You can see it first hand at itstheicingonthecake.ca

And, by the way, Lynda Paul, the owner, makes terrific cakes.
