They are an authorized Government of Alberta registry agent with over 30 years of experience in a variety of registry services.

They recently moved to a fresh new office space and were looking for an updated internet presence to go with it. We custom designed the site to match their new corporate office colors and added a lot of useful content. The website is built on a wordpress framework so their staff can easily manage the site and update price lists.

Take a look and let us know what you think!

The trip included two nights stay at the Elizabeth Parker alpine hut located in one of the most spectacular areas of the Rocky Mountains – Yoho National Park.

It was a fantastic and creative weekend with my fellow photographers and I got some amazing shots. We did some phenomenal hikes and had perfect weather the entire time. I would encourage everyone to explore Lake O’Hara if you ever have the chances, its a very special mountain area.

I am excited to share some of my favorite landscape and nature photos that I’ve ever taken!

The centre is a unique, street-front organization that provides a variety of services and opportunities to the women of Calgary. They do amazing work for our community and I was honored to work with them.

We created their site on a wordpress platform so they can manage it internally and created a wide variety of custom features for them. The site has a blog which is connected to their facebook page, an online volunteer application, event calendar and many other features.

I was also able to spend an afternoon at the centre for a photo shoot and many of the images on the site were photos we took together.

Take a look and let us know what you think!

I wasn’t quite sure what to expect and was surprised at how incredible the experience was. The ranch is situated in a beautiful area near Waterton Lakes, surrounded by the majestic Rocky Mountains. The ranch has hundreds of free range bison with a focus on sustainability and conservation.

I was able to do a ranch tour with the owner and had the chance to see the bison up close. I got some amazing photos of these gentle giants that I’d like to share. Take a look:

They are one of Alberta’s top lawn maintenance and snow removal companies with service in Calgary, Red Deer and Edmonton.

We built their website using a WordPress framework so it can be easily managed and also because of the many back-end features such as the ability to incorporate a private employee area.

There are also many other great features on the site including photo/video galleries and a custom online order form. I was able to get out on a beautiful sunny day for a photo shoot with them and took all the images in the photo gallery.

Check it out and let us know what you think!

They manufacture and distribute heavy-duty custom trucks and are known for their high quality vehicles. As the tag line goes – they are serious about trucks :)

We built their website on the popular WordPress framework so they are easily able to manage and update it. There are many great features on the site including a blog, photo galleries and a job posting application. I also had the opportunity to do a photo shoot with them and took all the banner photos and many of the employee shots for the site, which turned out really well.
