Website Examples
Calgary Best Mortgage
http://www.calgarybestmortgage.com
Lena Larsen of Calgary Best Mortgage has developed a well earned reputation as a mortgage broker who offers exceptional service to her customers.
The site, which launched in late 2008 offers a substantial amount of information to help inform customers about the variety of services a mortgage broker can provide.
Sport Mart
Under Development
Capp Creative was hired to provide the UI and information design for the Sport Mart website redesign.
In addition to the visual design Capp Creative also provided the XHTML and CSS framework for key pages within the site. These pages will serve as building blocks for the internal development team as they begin to create the rest of site.
The new Sport Mart site is expected to launch in 2009.
Fire Escape
Jacqui and JD Esler are the fine folks behind Calgary’s most established paint-your-own pottery studio. The site was designed to emphasize the fun and creativity that comes from hand painting your very own ceramic object.
Fire Escape customers repeatedly comment on the site’s clean design and the ease with which they can find answers to their questions.
The new Capp Creative design also helped move the site from page 4 in Google to the number 1 position for the words Fire Escape.
OLQP Foundation
http://www.ourladyqueenofpeacefoundation.com
Our Lady Queen of Peace Foundation has been serving those in need since 1988. Named in honor of the unwavering care and support mothers of the world bring their children everyday, the Foundation strives to not only provide aid, support and education facilities for those in need, but to do so in an effective and managed manner.
OLQP has on going projects and support services in countries such as Mexico, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Tanzania, India and at home in Canada and applies 100% of its donations received to support projects.
OLQP Ranch
http://www.ourladyqueenofpeaceranch.com
The vision behind Our Lady Queen of Peace Ranch is to enable children from the ages of 0-18 who are physically, mentally or financially challenged to have a free outdoor ranch experience.
The Ranch has continually improved by implementing additional programming areas and equipment such as a fully accessible playground and pontoon boat, swimming dock and teepees.
Unfortunately, the website has since been “updated” and no longer uses this design.
Super Shiny Objects
Under Development
Super Shiny Objects is a personal project I’m working on. Aside from giving me an excuse to play with Expression Engine (the content management system powering the backend) it allows me to discover more people that are making kick ass jewellery all over the planet (I also make jewellery myself so it’s ‘kind of my thing’).
In addition to makers I’ll also be adding listings for schools, suppliers, galleries and even have a section for photo studio tours to see how other jewellers like to work.
Brass Monocle
The Brass Monocle in Calgary has been in the fashion eyewear business since 1980! The husband and wife team behind the operation have two locations and each store is staffed with some of the most knowledgeable folks in the industry.
The Brass Monocle carries eyewear lines that few stores in Canada can match.
Recent updates to the site include video testimonials from both customers and staff.
Waiters en Route
Waiters en Route offers home and office delivery from some of Calgary’s best full service restaurants and has been going it since 1991.
If you find yourself fed up with the usual delivery options of pizza and Chinese food you’ll find Waiters a great change of pace. They even offer online ordering!
Big Bang Fireworks
http://www.bigbangfireworks.com
Big Bang offers world class professional fireworks and production services for outdoor-oriented displays across Canada.
The site includes a secure members only section as well as some great imagery from past displays.
The site was updated from its all Flash version and within a few weeks became the number 1 search result for Big Bang Fireworks beating out a bigger, more established site in the UK. Previously, the site had been buried on page 10 of the Google search results.
