Winnie the Pooh

I can’t think of anything more honourable than to be asked to create art pieces to help keep memories alive of a lost family member or friend.  This is for a friend and his wife who lost a child.

Created with water colour.

Delightful Hello

Delightful Hello is a community blog written by moms who want to share their parenting journeys, tips & tricks, recipes, creativity and inspirational thoughts. They wanted a logo that was friendly and inviting just like their name, but with colours that give boldness and strength.

Selah Consulting

Amanda came to us for a logo that speaks of the special type of consulting services that she provides. One of her specialty is to use music as a consulting/counselling method. Since counselling’s ultimate goal is to help the individual come to a place of rest, it only makes sense to use the music note “rest” as part of the logo!

Champ Health and Wellness

Shannon is a Registered Massage Therapist that decided to establish her own business after being an RMT for over 10 years and came to Ark75 for a branding solution. After many rounds and many tough choices (this is from Shannon!), Shannon finally decided on this logo which gives her the flair and simplicity that she wanted in a brand that best represents her and her business.

Childspace Day Care

Childspace Day Care came to us to look for a website solution that allows them to have a custom designed site and the ability for their team to make website content updates. The previous website lacked colour and engaging images, so we provided a solution that maximizes their marketing and still allow their team to make updates through a CMS. This is a custom designed WordPress site with functionalities that include: a gallery, event calendar, member login and roles management.

Master’s Pentecostal Seminary Brochure

With Master’s increased number of courses offered at the seminary, we could no longer fit the courses in the brochures, so we’ve decided to remove the course list altogether and produced a more generic brochure, rather than a year-specific brochure. This saves on design costs (sad for us, but great for the client!) – We’re always looking out for our clients!

Zimele Canada

Zimele1 Zimele2 Zimele3

Zimele Community Canada is the Canadian network in the large Zimele Community. This community is focussed in helping women in the African communities to gain valuable skills so they can become self-reliant which is very rare in poor African communities. Zimele Canada decided to have its own website apart from Zimele USA because they have their own events and fundraising campaigns that are independent from the USA network. They, just like many of our clients, want to make updates to their website without the costs of a CMS. Zimele Canada also has videos that they want to add as part of their media page.

At the time of the website built, Youtube and Vimeo were not popular yet, and Zimele would like to have their videos remain in high quality, have their own playlist. So Ark75 used Flash to build the media page. The Flash application allows Zimele to export their own FLV videos, dropped them into a folder, and the video will automatically get updated on the playlist in the media page.

Eventually the Zimele network would like unity among all their websites, so the current Zimele Canada website uses a design that is align with Zimele USA, however the 2010-2013 website files are still functional and are stored in the above archived link.

Master’s Pentecostal Seminary

Masters1-1 Masters2 Masters5

Masters3 Masters4

Master's Pentecostal Seminary is a church-based Bible school located in Toronto, Ontario. Students enrolled through Master's allow them to complete their post-secondary degrees at the partnered Bible college - Tyndale - and specialize in the Pentecostal stream. This give the students to receive accreditation with Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada.  Master's website purpose to stand out as a college of its own, therefore a website with its own identity and branding is important.

Master's, just like Outtahand, want to be able to make updates without the costs of CMS, the solution was to use PHP again to allow Master's staff to update a text file and content on the website will be updated. The client also has the ability to drag and drop MP3 and PDF files through using an FTP program and the website automatically gets updated with these files.

Master's target audience is 50+ working male, but the client also wants a site that appeals to the younger group who just graduated from universities.

Outtahand

Outtahand4 Outtahand1 Outtahand3 Outtahand2

Outtahand is a competitive volleyball league that also runs tournaments across the Greater Toronto Area. The previous website was difficult to update, not user friendly and unappealing. Outtahand wanted to expand their website to contain more media, the ability to update information easily and most importantly, a website that is easy to use by its visitors as the website has high weekly traffic due to weekly tournaments.

To reduce the initial cost and the possibility of re-doing the website due to new versions of content management systems, Outtahand opted out in using WordPress or any open source CMS. The challenge was, how to build a site so that the client can make updates as well? The solution was using PHP to read text files that are easy for the client to update and the longevity of the site will be upheld.
