Greenangels.com is the platform for a foundation that does amazing things on the gulf islands. By chopping donated wood and selling it, they were able to raise considerable amounts of money that they donated to causes on the gulf islands and world-wide.

Virtual Wave Media re-designed the BCSEA webpage together with Blackfly Solutions to meet a number of different requirements. The webpage displays the important contribution of news articles that BCSEA offers in the field of Sustainable Energy Discussion. 

Moreover, the organization itself needed a structured Call-to-Action set up to attract new customers. A third pillar of the web presence was the display of the different chapters within BCSEA. 

This complex structure is based on a drupal set up with CiviCRM functionality to manage the ever growing number of members.

When Royal Roads approached us with the project of setting up a collaboration platform that allows students of Royal Roads University to work together beyond course structures and even after they graduated university, we were excited. Gathr.ca is a platform that lets people get together in groups around topics of interest in order to "create the change they want to see in the world" (one of Royal Roads University slogans).

Features of the platform are event management, collaborating in groups, a bulletin board, a resource library and an extensive user and media management. This type of platform can be transferred to other areas, such as community platforms or internal business collaboration platforms, to mention but a few. 

The Dragonfly Child Care and Family Centre or PICCS on Pender Island was looking for a website that enabled them to communicate their mission statement, describe their programs, and published their events. We felt the design had to reflect characteristics of a child care centre in general, and elements of the Dragonfly Child Care Centre in particular. Therefore, the colour scheme that was used here were basic colours on a neutral background. The design elements all reflected items that can be found in a child care centre (crayons, brushes, little bits of paper, paint blobs etc.). As a very personal touch we decided to add a front page as an entrance with the same lettering as the original entrance of the centre in order to achieve a high level of recognition among the site users.

However, it was important to keep easy navigation and a clear overview in mind, so we added a lot of white space. We also colour coordinated the content of one page with the respective crayon. The active page is emphasized with a slightly indented crayon.
