Envision Online’s latest website launch is a redesigned updateable website for Technology Evaluation in the Elderly Network.

Technology Evaluation in the Elderly Network is a not-for-profit organization that supports research into health care tools and technology that help seriously ill seniors. Their mission is to bring beneficial tools into the health care system so that these seniors and their families, health care professionals see better outcomes, and by extension the entire health care system is improved.  In an era where the baby boom generation is reaching their senior years, work like this is going to become more important than ever.

A not-for-profit organization’s most important tool is an updatable website with the right design and content. The new TVN site is fully updatable through a content management system (CMS) and contains both a news section and a blog to provide multiple content channels that make keeping the site fresh easy. The design is eye-catching but appropriate to the sensitive subject matter.  Images are used throughout the site to help viewers connect with the subject matter. The site also features lots of movement to spur engagement and interest, but also to make better use of valuable home page real estate.

Stay tuned – the French version will be coming soon!

A brand new updatable website with lots of visual appeal is now live for Envision clients Westboro Flooring and Decor. Featuring unlimited pages and photo galleries, every square inch of the site is custom designed to please Westboro's design-conscious clientele.

Westboro Flooring and Decor is one of Ottawa's premiere providers of all kinds of flooring, window treatments and custom upholsery. With an incredibly broad and diverse selection of offerings, Westboro needed a way to show potential clients the range and quality of their products. Their new site allows them to create limitless photo galleries to delight clients looking for new hardwoord flooring, tiles, blinds, drapes and fabrics. A tailored architecture helps professional and residential customers find the information they're looking for quickly and easily. Best of all, the easy to use content management system (CMS) means the site has room to grow for years to come.

Ashley Raymond, Marketing Coordinator for Westboro, was pleased with the final result. " Working with Envision was a great experience. They were professional and made every effort to better understand our business to provide a wonderful website experience for our potential clients. The completed website layout and design exceed our expectations. Thank you to Jennifer and her team for a job well done."

Envision Online proudly announces the launch of a new content management system (CMS) driven website!

The Fruit and Vegetable Dispute Resolution Corporation (DRC) is a non-profit, membership-based organization serving the produce trade. Its mandate is to level the playing field for produce suppliers from all over North America. Heavily involved in mediation, arbitration and consultation, the organization also seeks to develop best practices and make legislation transparent and fair for all participants.

The DRC's new website is completely updateable, and is also trilingual in English, French and Spanish. The home page features rotating banners that the DRC team can change themselves, as well as smaller content areas designed to call attention to important information. There are also pages specially designed for forms and FAQs that are updateable as well. Best of all, the look and feel is completely customized, and designed to harmonize with their new branding by our friends at Storyart Communications.

Envision Online's latest updateable website is a custom creation for the Financial Management Institute of Canada, a not-for profit organization serving public sector employees who work in finance.

This volunteer-driven organization consists of 14 chapters across Canada, supported by a national office staff in Ottawa. Committed to improving financial management at all levels of government, the FMI promotes best practices and excellence in a variety of ways. Webinars, journals, conferences and more focus on universal themes and contemporary issues in financial management.

With 14 chapers and lots of activity, the FMI knew it needed a bilingual website driven by a robust CMS (content management system). Envision provided a CMS that not only allows the FMI to easily update their site content, but one that allows separate user permissions for separate areas of the CMS. A custom calendar of events that can show events in the user's choice of graphical view or list view helps pull the many chapters together. A separate blog is not only accessible through the main navigation of the site, but the latest posts show in a list on the home page.

As a professional organization, the FMI wanted a site design that reflected their values. Envision Online worked with a preliminary design provided by the FMI's graphic designer, recommending changes to improve the site usability. After an extensive rebranding exercise the FMI were also very conscious of adhering to their branding guidelines, and were glad to learn that Envision prides itself on designing sites that fully integrate the client's brand into the look and feel.

The end result is a very expandable website that will serve the needs of the Financial Management Institute of Canada for many years to come!
