COTO – Website Design & Development

The College of Occupational Therapists of Ontario

The College of Occupational Therapists of Ontario serves as the regulatory body for the registration and oversight of occupational therapists (OTs) in the province. By ensuring that their members are qualified, capable, and uphold ethical standards, the College protects the interests of the public. We developed a new, user-friendly website for COTO aimed at helping their varied audiences access relevant resources. We also made sure the site is easy for COTO’s staff to manage and can grow with their needs. Acting as a valuable information hub, COTO provides a wealth of content and resources for OTs, employers, and the general public. Whether they are patients seeking treatment, new graduates registering for the first time, or experienced OTs and employers, users will frequently return to the site. As regulations change and new educational materials are introduced, COTO will continue to expand their content to keep OTs and the public informed. Their centralized resource center will become increasingly vital. With their new WordPress platform, COTO will find it much simpler to update and add content as they enhance their online presence.

Acera Insurance – Website Development

Acera Insurance

Acera Insurance was established through the merger of 15 Canadian insurance firms, resulting in one of the largest independent brokerages in the country. Aiming to make insurance more accessible, Acera's motto, "Be certain," emphasizes a customer-centered brand experience. **Challenges:** Merging 15 existing websites into a single, user-friendly platform presented considerable SEO, content, and structural issues. We aimed to create a scalable website that is easy for users to navigate when looking for quick quotes or trusted advisory services, while also ensuring an efficient backend for Acera's staff. **Solution:** We developed a strong platform on WordPress that aligns with Acera's brand and diverse offerings: - **Improved User Experience:** A clear site structure directs users to the products and services that suit their needs. Key functionalities, such as an interactive site-switcher and a streamlined quote tool (integrated with Salesforce), facilitate easy access to coverage requests. - **SEO and Redirect Strategy:** A comprehensive Redirect Blueprint along with over 200 pages of optimized content helped maintain Acera's search rankings and ensured a smooth transition of traffic from legacy sites. "Our Brands" pages assist users in navigating from older sites to the Acera platform. - **Regional Content and Relevance:** Geolocation features provide customized content for each province, guiding potential customers to nearby branches. - **Strong Brand Presence:** Canadian landscape visuals and a cohesive design reflect Acera's friendly and welcoming nature, helping the company to distinguish itself in the marketplace. **Results and WebOps Support:** The new platform has successfully preserved SEO performance while establishing a strong, brand-oriented digital presence. With continued WebOps support, we are committed to enhancing user experience and fostering Acera's growth.

Canadian Association of Science Centres (CASC)

The Canadian Association of Science Centres (CASC) advocates for interactive science experiences throughout Canada. To enhance connections among members and advance initiatives related to STEM, equity, and inclusion within Canadian communities, CASC sought a new, user-friendly platform. Our goal was to develop a vibrant, easy-to-navigate website that would fortify CASC's online presence, assist its members, and align with its mission to foster science engagement through accessible resources and experiences. We created a bilingual WordPress site designed with a mobile-first approach to facilitate navigation and user engagement. The site includes features such as an interactive member directory and a searchable map to help users connect with science centres across the country. With simplified navigation and a clean design, visitors can effortlessly discover CASC events, programs, and resources. Our content strategy emphasized readability, search engine optimization (SEO), and compliance with WCAG accessibility standards. Additionally, the bilingual feature underscores CASC’s dedication to inclusivity, broadening access to resources for a wider Canadian audience. Key functionalities, including a content management system, empower CASC to easily update and distribute resources. Interactive components like event feeds and dynamic member profiles highlight CASC’s impact on the community while ensuring a user-friendly experience. The revamped CASC website effectively addresses members' needs and establishes a strong, flexible platform. By incorporating intuitive navigation, bilingual content, and accessible design, we have improved CASC's visibility and engagement with science centres across Canada. Looking ahead, we will continue to assist CASC in meeting its evolving digital requirements, adding new features to further promote Canadian science centres and their educational objectives.
