Kalavida Surf Shop

Kalavida Surf Shop based in the Okanagan is a surf shop that specializes in Stand Up Paddleboard sales, rentals and lessons. With a beachfront location in Vernon on Kalamalka Lake, and a convenient location near the beaches of Okanagan Lake, Kalavida is We've been working with Kevin O'Brien for a couple of years now, first helping with his original OKSUP.com site, which is a great resource site for stand up paddleboarding in the Okanagan. When it came time to build a site for their new retail venture, we were happy to hear that we were their first choice. Kevin designed the site's graphics and overall feel, and from there we developed a custom Wordpress theme and infrastructure needed to put his pixels into motion on the web. It's been a great ride so far and we look forward to continuing our great working relationship! Check out the site at KalavidaSurfShop.com! ...

KINETIX goes live

This past Monday January 17th, a completely brand new identity and website was launched for KINETIX, an online coach based fitness and nutrition program. Our role in the project involved integrating the brilliant design work created by Industrial Brand into a completely custom software system developed by Thirdi Software. Through a meticulous process of slicing and dicing the imagery, semantic HTML and CSS coding, as well as a few dabs of browser specific Javascript, we produced a presentation that not only accurately reflects the intended design, but also performs exceptionally well in a whole host of browsers, including the much loathed Internet Explorer 6! Though from the outset this appears to be a reasonably straightforward presentation, the most time consuming and detailed aspect of the project lies in the back end, where participants can update their stats in real time, w ...

New website for Brunette Industries

We're just in the process of wrapping the complete re-design and redevelopment of a website for Brunette Industries, a Vancouver forest machinery manufacturer and high capacity machine shop. This is the second of three websites we've designed and built for Brunette Industries in recent years. We created Brunette's original website three years ago, but the time had come for a change. The main reason for the redesign is they received some pretty solid sales leads from the original version of the site, and wanted to enhance and expand their web presence in an effort to take even greater advantage of these opportunities. In addition to a complete re-design, the site has been integrated into a comprehensive Content Management System, and the code has been completely revamped for greater Search Engine Visibility. We'll also be working on a strategic Marketing Campaign to grow site traffi ...
