Broken Ladder

Nothing could be more local than cider produced from British Columbia apples. BC Tree Fruit’s Broken Ladder site is bursting with rich imagery and deep responsiveness—their pride in craft and presentation is as big as their flavour.

We’ve worked with several BC Tree Fruits properties, and glad to have helped in fine-tuning this one for screens big and small. Designed by BRANDFX.

Open the Doors

With an incredible set of features that makes online campaign tools a logistical and financial reality for a huge sector, NationBuilder burst the bubble of high-stakes, high-price-tag organizing tools. We teamed up with the creative geniuses at Point Blank to offer completely customized NationBuilder sites to a wide variety of clients, including the Federation Of Post-Secondary Educators and their Open the Doors Campaign. Open the Doors has many key NationBuilder features, such as recruiting URLs and event maps.

Sustainable Prosperity

The good folks at at Linking Natural Capital & Productivity are committed to making transparent the effects of economic activity on the environment. They are the brainchild of Sustainable Prosperity, a “national green economy think tank/do tank.”

SP wanted to expand their site design—a flexible, commercial Drupal theme—to visually distinguish their offshoot project. Extending an existing Drupal theme is an easy and affordable solution to iterate on an existing property by stamping it with a personal palette and brand.

Nettwerk Music Group

The first challenge with Nettwerk’s sweeping new design was to get the thousands of articles of content to transition smoothly from their existing site to the new site. We built a custom import interface to bring all the content over, complete with tags, images and links.

Nettwerk’s incredible roster of clients, relationships and placements and captured in this cleanly scalable Drupal site. It grows weekly with their ever-expanding portfolio and audience without any capacity interruptions.

Pension Calculator

George and Bell, a consultancy, asked us to put together a custom pension calculator to demonstrate the differences between the CPP proposals during the run-up to the election.

Pure front-end JavaScript for the win! Performing the calculations using the browser makes it easy to erase the user’s information from memory, which of course is crucial for this sort of application.

Gotham Steakhouse

Gotham needed a larger-than-life update to their web presence. With a gorgeous design from BRANDFX, we built a screen-popping responsive Drupal site, filled with beautiful custom photography and a long-scroll front page.

Drupal is a great fit for these custom visuals. Each page and section was engineered specifically to allow easy swapping of foreground and background images via the CMS.

OpenRoad

We collaborated with OpenRoad to add new interactive features to a multi-donor program dedicated to strengthening the capacity of independent policy research organizations in the developing world.

Users can now navigate laterally by region or research area to dynamically browse the list of relevant organizations. A new interactive map lets users turn the globe and discover policy initiatives geographically.

BC Egg

Both an inventory of data, history and advocacy for BC's egg industry, and a trove of eggcelent recipe ideas, the new BCEgg.com is bold and beautiful. It looks great in a screen-wide browser, and it scales down eleggantly for tablets, phablets and phones.

As eggspected, we used Drupal for a familiar and lightening fast-CMS control over a site that is hand-coded to look all its own.

BC Tree Fruit Canada

We had the pleasure of continuing our relationship with BC Tree Fruit—this time with the development of an international-facing corporate information portal . Mobile-responsive and localized in English and Chinese, this site makes our local fruit look irresistible.

Coast Capital Savings

We worked closely with the creative team at Dossier to rethink Coast's free personal budget and mortgage calculator tools. Unlike most online calculators that take the user through multiple steps and pages to create and edit their cashflow scenario, this tool does everything on a single page. The real-time budget analysis updates on-the-fly as information is entered and edited.
