New Website Launch | Harris Utilities

by jim on April 16th, 2013

Who: Since 1976, Harris Utilities has been a trusted source for robust, feature-rich turnkey solutions that help utilities improve customer service and increase financial performance and operational efficiency. Today, Harris Utilities comprises seven distinct divisions and over 600 employees serving thousands of utility customers throughout North America and the Caribbean.

Solution: Harris Utilities wanted to stand out – in an industry not really known for its design flair, they wanted to take a chance and bring something new to the table. So in order to achieve this, Baytek applied Harris Utilities’ established branding to the look of the Website, and their systematic approach to creativity – and developed a site that is not only unique, but a visual treat at the same time. Using the latest Website development techniques, Baytek were able to create a full width site with stunning imagery and highly readable informational pages.

New Website Launch | Royal Ottawa Golf Club

by jim on April 16th, 2013

Who: A rich history, a comfortable setting, a prestigious club for more than 120 years, The Royal Ottawa Golf Club has been a distinguished and refined venue for avid golfers and community leaders.

Solution: The Royal is a fantastic golf club in a beautiful setting – and Baytek wanted to capture this feeling on the website. By using images as the focus of the site, and letting the content flow around it, the Website has now been transformed from a bland informational site to a visual story telling device. Of course, the standard navigation is there for those wanting to access location and opening hours, but for those who want to stay around for longer – they will get a feel for the club’s rich history and pristine fairways. Go ahead, take a tour!

New Website Launch | Sevita International

by jim on April 16th, 2013

Who: SEVITA is actively engaged at every step of specialty non-GMO soybean and Certified Seed production. This gives us valuable insight into the entire process from soybean research, to production, to the end-user, and provides you with a controlled and sustainable supply of quality products. Controlling all aspects of soybean development and supply enables Sevita to deliver high-quality soybeans and Certified Seed tailored to your requirements — with the advantages of quality, security, food safety and traceability.

Solution: As a company that is involved in every step of soybean production, SEVITA handles a complex process. Baytek was therefore invited to come up with a solution to display this. Working hand in hand with our client, Baytek developed the Circle of Life which is the pillar of the Website. Using Javascript techniques and no flash, the Circle of Life is a unique way to display how the soybeans go from the field to the consumer. Each step has its own landing page and unique attributes.

New Website Launch | Green Roots Landscaping

by jim on March 19th, 2013

Who: Established in early 2010 by Steve Papousek, David Hiel, and Ryan Crompton, Green Roots Landscaping offers the discerning client with personalized, professional, and high end design. The company prides itself in its competitive edge and proven ability to create new visions and results that exceed expectations.

Solution: Baytek’s major focus on this project was to bring Green Roots’ sense of design and style to their website – that meant modern, dynamic and beautiful. The design of the site itself took on the life of a landscaped garden – from the initial plans and layout to the planting of the seeds (the images and content), it kept on growing until it was in full bloom. Now potential clients can view Green Roots’ work using the amazing gallery viewer, and see the potential for their own garden!

New Website Update | Canadian Fertilizer Institute

by jim on February 20th, 2013

Who: The Canadian Fertilizer Institute (CFI) is an industry association that represents manufacturers, wholesale and retail distributors of nitrogen, phosphate and potash fertilizers.

Solution: As a multi-faceted organization, CFI has many programs and initiatives under its umbrella. One issue of that is to ensure all stakeholders are aware of each and every one of them. So Baytek came up with a unique solution to house each program in a modal pop-up – each has their own box, and a toggle to display more information in an expanding area beneath. Go on, give it a go!

New Website Launch | Eyemaxx Optical Studio

by jim on January 18th, 2013

Who: Eyemaxx is a high-end optical studio located in the heart of the Nation’s Capital. Their brands include Dolce & Gabbana, SALT, Oakley and Ray-Ban.

Solution: Baytek’s main focus on the project was to put the power of Eyemaxx’s website back into their hands. For a long time, Eyemaxx’s website was functioning on an antiquated system that included a number of hurdles to do even the smallest update. Coupled with an aging front-end, Eyemaxx were longing for a solid back end where they could harness the power and ease of use of a content management system (CMS), tie in their social media content, and have a fresh coat of paint on the site that would truly represent their presence as Ottawa’s best and most fashionable high-end optical studio. Baytek delivered on that premise, and then some. Eyemaxx are now proud to send customers to their new website, knowing that they can update their content exactly when they want and show off their studio and brands in the best possible way.

New Website Launch | OACCPP

by jim on December 14th, 2012

Who: The Ontario Association of Consultants, Counsellors, Psychometrists and Psychotherapists (OACCPP) is an incorporated professional association formed in 1978 to represent providers of mental health services in the general areas of consulting, counselling, psychometric assessment/evaluation and psychotherapy.

Solution: Our mandate for the redesign of this Website was simple – bring OACCPP into 2012. The previous design was antiquated, and the functionality compromised. Baytek took a fresh look at the OACCPP brand and used a three colour approach to talk to the different audience’s of the Website, and using silhouette’s ensures the inclusion of every member. Streamlining the content into a straightforward information architecture means that the content is a lot easier to find and digest. Breaking out the member’s section into a secure login area helps to eliminate confusion about what area the user is in.
