Rocky Mountain Nakoda

The Rocky Mountain Nakoda Centre for Language & Culture Preservation contacted us with an exciting project, to create a website to record their language and culture to preserve it for future generations.

We worked with the client using their guidelines on design and layout to create a website that can be expanded, with minimal technical intervention by us, as they document their language and culture.

The website will be used both in the school and home environment to encourage members of the Stoney Nakoda Nation to learn the critically endangered Aboriginal language of the Ĩyãħé Nakoda.

We originally built this community website for the Canadian Heart Failure Network in 2007 and have now reskined it with a new, fresh design for 2011.

Built with a Content Management System, the website allows various members of CHFN who are authorised to keep specific core areas of the website updated, to access their particular area of responsibility only. All members can however post non-core information.

Within the website another secure community also exists that members of CHFN can login to and use to communicate with other members, post and retrieve relevant information etc.

My Main Street Mall

Our client required a complex Content Management System website that would enable them to propagate new websites using the CMS without additional technical intervention.

We built the mymainstreetmall.com site so that new mall websites can be cloned easily and published on the internet on a sub-domain, while still being inter-related using one CMS. For example, the current calgary.mymainstreetmall.com website can be cloned to make anytown.mymainstreetmall.com automatically using custom programming added to the CMS.

On completion of the project we handed it over to the clients technical team for them to populate and enhance as required.
