AIDS Walk For Life Vancouver 2009

The Vancouver AIDS Walk For Life is a yearly event which raises money to provide persons living with HIV and AIDS in Vancouver with healing therapies that are otherwise not covered by the health care system. The AIDS Walk already had a strong web presence through their Facebook page, Twitter account, and online pledge system, but needed a branded “home base” where they could properly direct donors and participants. We used ExpressionEngine so that the staff at BCPWA can manage the site’s content themselves and we will be able to re-skin the site quite easily year-to-year.

Got Craft?

Got Craft? puts on Vancouver’s largest (and best!) indie craft fair. Held the first Sunday of May and December, Got Craft? features over 55 local and handmade vendors selling everything from clothing to jewelry to ceramics and wall art. Their newly redesigned website makes it easy for both visitors and vendors to get the crafty information they need. We installed a CMS to allow Got Craft? to quickly update their site anytime.

“All we have are good words to describe how great it was to work with you both.  You guys made everything easy to understand, super accessible and of course, the design work was absolutely amazing. A big thank you for all of your hard work and we look forward to working with you on future projects!” – Andrea Tucker, Got Craft?

The Beautiful Project (Email Newsletter)

The Beautiful Project is a side project of our web designer, Jeannette Ordas. When she’s not designing kick-ass websites, she illustrates and designs kick-ass greeting cards filled with a bit of sweet and a lot of sass. Her email newsletter is the best way to keep in contact with her customers, keeping them informed of new products and special subscriber sales.

Natasha McHardy

Multi-disciplinary Vancouver artist, Natasha McHardy, entered a new stage in her career and wanted to establish herself as a working artist. To showcase her work, we created a portfolio with very large images which focus attention to the detail and strength in her artwork. The clean gallery-like space elegantly frames the artwork and provides galleries (her target audience) with all the information they need.

“Matchbox Creative really listened to me and understood what I felt was necessary for my site, and in the end offered up a final product that genuinely reflected my needs. When I give out my business cards now, I have no hesitations. I know the websites printed on my cards are exciting to look at, well made, and represent me well.” – Natasha McHardy

Fieldco Mfg. Inc.

Fieldco Mfg. Inc., an Edmonton AB-based machine shop, wanted their new site to be able to strongly communicate their variety of services and their reputation for high quality and excellent customer service. The site we gave them suits their brand and could possibly even be the best-looking machine shop site in Canada. It was also important to improve the site’s performance in the search engine result pages. Our on-page optimization helped move the site up to the number one position on Google for the phrase: “machine shops alberta”.
