Alberta SPCA Website Launches

If you discover an animal in distress in a rural area, who do you call? The Alberta SPCA, that's who. They enforce animal protection laws outside Alberta's major centres, rescue the affected animals if needed, and prosecute offenders. Our site redesign and new CMS gave them a fresh look and enabled them to promote important, timely news on their homepage. And as a non profit, they always need your support.

KLD launches new brand and website for Capital Colour

We are proud to reveal the launch of the new branding and website for Capital Colour. Brian Todd, the new owner of Capital Colour, asked us to not only develop a new brand, but also give it a distinct personality. "I don't just want it to be another printer website." So with some snappy writing from Sheena Stewart (does she ever not write snappily?) we created a vision for the company that we built the brand around and deployed in the website and print collateral.
Take a look and let us know what you think: www.capitalcolour.com
