Canadian Water Quality Association

This was such an interesting project to be involved with. There were quite a few moving parts. It was paramount that the Board of Directors wanted to make the most of this website re-design, leveraging every benefit possible for their members. 

As a national association, CWQA has Board members across Canada, which meant all project work was conducted remotely through email, Zoom, and phone calls. This setup demanded a high degree of organization and clear communication.

A strategic decision was made to transition from the .com domain to the .ca domain, further reinforcing CWQA’s Canadian identity. This meant that URLs from the old site needed to be carefully catalogued so that they could be mapped in the new site.

Finally, the CWQA had decided to implement a new membership system. The member database was migrated, and each profile was set up with care to minimize any disruption. The membership system was also enhanced with automated features to streamline renewals and event registrations, creating a more efficient experience for members.

Oosterhof Electrical Services

Oosterhof Electrical Services and CarricDesign have worked together over a number of years. We have been through two website redesigns together, which is akin to hanging wallpaper with someone. You know if you can do that, you can do anything!

A big part of this website is to attract customers that are in the right service areas without having to field a lot of calls or emails. By implementing good SEO practices and writing clear content, the site has become an important tool for building their business.

Because the site is built using WordPress, the staff at OES are able to do their own edits and additions. 

Rising Hope Counselling

The site utilizes calming colors, welcoming imagery, and approachable language to convey trust, professionalism, and compassion. The logo, featuring a blue feather, and its accompanying font served as the foundation for the overall design of the site.

Visitors to the site will find detailed information about the services offered, including clear descriptions of the various types of therapy available and the qualifications of the practitioners.

A-One Clothing

A One Clothing is a staple of the downtown business stream in Kingston. They have a great physical location and get lots of walk-in traffic. Their website needed to step up and create the same feeling online.

The site was built to pick up traffic from search engines from searches related to the high-end outdoor gear brands that they carry.

During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, this site was able to help the owner stay ‘open’ online and many more products were added to the mix. It is an e-commerce site with a twist that has worked very well for this business.
