Winning Techniques Incorporated v3

Winning Techniques Incorporated decided to separate its operations, as such a re-branding occurred which meant splitting up its different companies onto separate websites. With the help of Dreams Becoming Reality Winning Techniques Incorporated set out to create a new image for itself.

Read Consulting Services used Winning Techniques new logo and Program Identifiers created by Dreams Becoming Reality as inspiration for the design and layout of the new website.

With the addition of a “The Fireside Chat” and custom CMS the new website enables it’s owners to update their content on a timely basis.

The complex registration system allowed families to register multiple campers for multiple weeks online in one easy session. Important information was retained so that subsequent family registrations require less data entry every year.

This website was designed for Michael Galbraith, Director of Photography and Member of IATSE Local 873. The design was created using creative ideas from both Michael Galbraith and Read Consulting Services.

Read Consulting Services also edited all of the video clips and re-cut the DP Reel for this website.

This website has since been converted to a placeholder for his agency website.

Meetz’ Small Engines

www.meetz.ca

This project involved the development of a completely new website including content, layout and graphic design.

The existing company logo was taken from its original form as a black and white photocopy of a hand drawing and was re-created in its new digital form.

A custom Content Management System (CMS) was created to allow the site’s owners to update page content as needed.

The custom CMS also allows the site’s owners to add specials or sale items via its easy to use HTML based forms.

Winning Techniques Incorporated v2

www.winningtechniques.com (ARCHIVED)

Winning Techniques Incorporated had greatly expanded their company focus since we created their first website in 2002.  As a company, Winning Techniques had divided into three separate and distinct divisions. They required one website that could effectively display information about all three divisions while clearly allowing users to know where they were within the site.

A tabbed layout was created that uses varying graphics and four different colour combinations to allow users to easily identify what facet of the website they are in at all times.

As the site’s owners were familiar with coding in HTML the site was setup using PHP’s include function, which allowed the site’s owners to edit simple HTML files which are automatically placed within the sites PHP coded pages.  This allowed the users to make changes to their sites content as they saw fit.

WINTEK Productions

www.wintekproductions.com (ARCHIVED and CLOSED)

As part of Winning Techniques Incorporated’s move to give its divisions their own separate identities WINTEK Productions needed a new home.

Building on the new logo created by Dreams Becoming Reality Read Consulting Services came up with a punch new layout for WINTEK Productions.

This site was planned as a placeholder and was to eventually be developed into a full featured e-commerce website and the site was finally closed down as Winning Techniques Incorporated shifted their focus entirely onto their summer camp.

This site no longer exists.

Project SSSHH Incorporated v1

www.projectssshh.com (ARCHIVED)

In 2001 we designed the first website for Project SSSHH Incorporated a company that worked within the entertainment industry. The site was all HTML and hand coded.

GMS Insurance Incorporated

www.gmsinsurance.com (ARCHIVED)

The redesign of the GMS Insurance website brought us a new customer.  The existing navigation system and layout was no longer able to efficiently deliver the amount of new information that they were developing.

A new CSS based layout was implemented, which includes an up to date navigation system, allowing the visitors to access the site’s content quickly and easily.

A custom Content Management System was created to allow the site’s owners to change portions of the site’s content at their discretion.

This site is archived.

IATSE Local 58 v1

www.iatse58.org (ARCHIVED)

This was one the first websites we built. We started designing it in 1999 and it was released in 2000. Things have substantially changed in this industry since this site was designed.

This site was in place until late 2008 and underwent many small revisions to both content, functionality and look.
