Western Windows is Calgary’s favourite place to buy factory direct windows and doors in the province of Alberta. Winner of the Consumer’s Choice Award for seven consecutive years now (2003 – 2009) Western Windows continues to strive for the highest level of service to their customers.

We initially did a redesign for Western Windows back in 2007 and they wanted a new, clean, fresh design to bring their site up to 2009 standards. We are proud to announce the relaunch of WesternWindows.com.

The site has been updated with so many new features and updates that its hard to know where to begin.

First of all the design itself is simple and intuitive to navigate. Secondly our portfolio has never looked better. Our @kaizengroup Twitter plug-in is another feature we’d like to highlight so you can stay updated on what’s cooking in the Kaizen kitchen.

Fermentations!

Fermentations has been a client of ours since 2007 when we helped them make changes to their existing website. We have maintained and updated the site continually over the years so when Charles was ready to give the site a makeover he chose us for the job!

We redesigned the website with colours that match their new location at 201 Danforth Avenue complete with exposed brick background. We also updated the code to XHTML Strict 1.0 CSS / PHP ensuring cross browser compatibility and validated code.

Fermentations also needed some posters designed for inside the store and in the front window. We designed these posters and provided them to the client in the printer ready files which were able to be expanded to very large scale. As you can see these posters are very high quality.

The most important part of every project is making the client happy. So what did Charles of Fermentations have to say about the work we did?

“Kaizen Web Design has been my webmaster since 2007 and I am very happy with the high level of customer service and quality work they have continued to provide over these years. I recently had them update my website with a fresh new design and also had some posters for my store designed by them. I recommend you get in touch with Kaizen Web Design and give them an opportunity to create a professional image for your business whether it be on the web or on your promotional materials.”

The Importance of Keeping Your Website Current

barberEvery business needs to have a current online presence because technology and business is continually changing and you do not want to risk losing potential customers to your competitors.

Ideally your website should be updated every month. Our clients that have their site maintained on a month to month basis enjoy the benefits of consistent traffic flow and quality leads that stream through their website.

If you do not have the resources to have your website updated every month then aim for every quarter or the bare minimum of twice per year. Any less often than that and you could be missing out on the huge benefits from the search engines.

Take a step into beating those January blahs by getting Kaizen Web Design to spruce up your website. Having an up-to-date website does wonders for the confidence of our clients and their customers.

It’s kind of like getting a new haircut for your company, that your customers across the nation and around the world will appreciate immediately. Can you think of a better way to start the new year than freshening up your company’s online presence? Call us today to get started!

Doctor Baird

Doctor Melvine BairdDoctor Baird is a chiropractor working out of offices in the prestigious area of Yorkville, right in the heart of downtown Toronto.

Doctor Baird specializes in pregnancy, pediatrics, low level laser therapy, sports therapy and custom orthotics. To learn more about Doctor Baird or to make an appointment please visit her website.

We originally developed the website in 2007 and without regular updates the site lost it’s relevancy in the search engines. Doctor Baird wanted to see the traffic increase as it had when her website was first put online.

The first thing we did was recode the website to be XHTML 1.0 Strict (the most up-to-date coding standard) to ensure that the spidering bots would be able to rank the pages with ease. Next we eliminated any redundant code and used CSS and PHP to display the content. We also made some updates that Doctor Baird wanted done to the site.

The actual design of the website was maintained in the upgrade because Doctor Baird and her customers adored the original site design. Our update kept the design (front end) of the website the same and instead focused on upgrading the code (back end) of the website. We did make some minor adjustments to accent the website including an interactive menu bar and mobile contact block.

How can potential customers find my website?

There are two basic ways that potential customers will find your website:

1. THEY KNOW YOUR WEBSITE ADDRESS

You should consider the avenues that are available to advertise your website such as business cards, letterhead, promotional materials, location signage, company vehicles, radio / TV / print advertising, etc. The more places that you advertise your website the more it will increase the amount of visitors you receive.

2. THROUGH THE SEARCH ENGINES

Search engines such as Google, Yahoo and MSN are free tools available that are continually ’spidering’ or ‘indexing’ all the website pages online. You need to make sure that your website is optimized and current to ensure that the search engines rank your website higher than your competition.

HOW WE CAN HELP

Search engine traffic is gold because these are qualified leads that are looking for your products / services online. We have been assisting our clients open these flood gates and the results for them have been fantastic and profitable.
