Along with the iOS app comes refinements to the branding of their premier product line, EuroTrim™, an improved website to bring this brand to the web, with an innovative, interactive Web 2.0 interface to simplify the complex product selection process.

These initiatives are increasing exposure in the target market and reducing the need for valuable staff involvement in the sales process.

CB&F’s work for EuroTrim™ and GA Industries includes iOS software development, web site design and development, packaging design, logo development and marketing strategy.

Living Carbon’s Briony Penn worked with lead developer and designer Charles Buchwald and others to create the design and site architecture. With a quickly developing mandate in a constantly changing business and governmental landscape, flexibility was a key design criteria. The Headway meta-theme and WordPress CMS keep the site highly responsive, flexible, and easy to maintain.

Original illustrations by Penn have been combined with a voiceover by Buchwald into an effective and friendly introductory video. Working with a tight budget and limited time constraints, the simple animation conveys a sense of the company purpose and method in a concise way, helping to explain the complex process of living carbon offsets.

Charles Buchwald & Friends is proud to be a part of this innovative BC conservation initiative. Please visit the new site to find out more and participate in their projects.

A simple shopping cart, combined with the WordPress gallery feature, makes for an easy to manage ecommerce solution. PayPal helps maintain online buyer confidence and simplify the payment system. “Easy” is the key word, since maintenance of the site falls to Simon and Stephanie, while they also create, sell, and photograph their beautiful jewelry.

The custom WordPress theme, developed by CB&F, takes it inspiration from the jewellers’ colourful and evocative booth sign, with a forest/ocean/moonlight motif. This helps build brand recognition by maintaining the consistency of their visual identity, and reflecting their unique Northwest Coast island design sense.

A simple implementation of the WordPress CMS helps ensure the site is easy to update and otherwise maintain and expand. A custom logo and illustrations developed for a promotional print piece add character while reinforcing a consistent message. Understated design and animation convey Janelle’s commitment to quality and tasteful innovation and reflect a bit of the rich agricultural and cultural heritage of Salt Spring Island.

Dr. Shira has recently completed work with Charles Buchwald & Friends to develop a new site highlighting her online writing, workshops, seminars, books, CD’s, and radio show. The CB&F implementation makes it easy to updated and maintain, protects her investment of time and effort, positions her for excellent search engine results, and enhances her message with a coordinated visual presence.

According to the group:

In 2004, a new “state of the art” operating room was completed at Lady Minto Hospital, together with an excellent Central Supply Room to provide sterilization of instruments as required by the new standards.

This project was funded by the Capital Region District ($1.1 million), the Vancouver Island health Authority ($1 million) and, at the request of the VIHA, $780,000 from the Lady Minto Hospital Foundation.

Since July 2008 this state of the art operating room sits empty and unused.

Highlights of this project included:

• working with Lynda and her team to develop a custom WordPress theme incorporating the strong visual elements of the older site by Renee at earth spirit creations, to preserve the consistency of look and feel with Lynda’s existing print and digital assets
• using a variety of great WordPress plugins to increase the functionality of the site, from the sophisticated and customizable menu system, to the AJAX-powered client testimonials, to custom forms
• and most significantly expanding the control Lynda herself has over the site and it’s growing content.

The WordPress CMS provides a friendly, efficient interface for managing content, including adding new articles, editing existing materials, and working with images, audio and video. Video is especially important to Lynda’s plans, and YouTube content is already becoming a part of the site.

Lynda said, “Charles cares deeply about the work he brings forward in the world and is dedicated to making a difference with his work and within his community. He is a true artist, not just at the helm of website design, or with camera in hand, but in his way of seeing what is possible. I value my connection with Charles on many fronts and highly recommend him on any project that calls to his muse.”

I know we’ll see great things to come from this creative and inspiring dynamo!
