The Challenge

West Coast LEAF is a venerated feminist legal organization with decades of well-used, unique resources on its website. The site was built years ago on the classic WordPress editor, which didn’t allow the staff the creative control they wanted when adding new material. It was time for a refresh.

We led an inclusive process that allowed members of the organization to share diverse opinions and change their minds as they had more information throughout the build process. This led to a finished product that represented the needs of many staff and users.

The Challenge

Earnest is a much loved local ice cream shop in Vancouver. Their stores embody a contemporary west coast vibe and their ice cream is top notch. Their website was hard to navigate and didn’t match their in-person aesthetic.

We helped them build a site that showcased their good work in the community, navigated the user through the store locations and better reflected their brand and in-person experience.

The Challenge

The Presidents Group had a website dedicated to accessible resources for employers that they had trouble updating. The site was built for accessibility on the front end, but the back end was built unconventionally.

Every time they tried to update the site with new content, they’d run into problems that would require costly web developer support. There was also confusion between their organization The Presidents Group and the website which was called Accessible Employers.

We built them a website that’s an example of web accessibility on the front and back end, allows users to find resources easily, and cleared up confusion between their brand elements.

The Challenge

Project Seahorse is a marine conservation organization based in Vancouver and the UK. They had put together a website on Squarespace that had grown unwieldy over the years. It was hard to find information for their various user groups and hard for them to explain their work easily.

Collaborating under Backyard Creative (now iilo), we helped create a website that better showcased their extensive research, is much easier to navigate and looks professional and inviting.

The Challenge

Decoda Literacy Solutions had a website that had grown organically over the years, leading to parts of the content and technology to be cobbled onto the original designs. The site had grown into a complex house of cards that staff were reluctant to touch and users had trouble navigating. There was also some confusion between the organization and their foundation.

We built Decoda a bold new website that was easy for staff and users to use with a refreshed and polished look.
