17 Designs developed this dual language WordPress website www.fschillerschule.com to assist the Friedrich Schiller Schule German Lanugage School in attracting new students and for communicating with parents that have children enrolled in the school.  The site includes a Home Page with animated banner, a Class Overview Page, a History Page and a Contact Page with feedback form and Google Map.  For added interest much of the content is animated by sliding in from the left or right.

The Friedrich Schiller Schule Lanugage School is a non-profit school that offers German language instruction for all ages and abilities, from pre-school to adult, from beginners to fluent speakers.  During the school year classes are held in the Allan A. Martin Senior Public School, 1390 Ogden Avenue, Mississauga on Saturday mornings from 9:00 am to 12:30 pm.

Since Friedrich Schiller Schule Lanugage School is also a charitable organization (Charitable Registration No. 10701 6958 RR0001) it needs to fund raise to purchase Shutterstock royalty free photos to complete the website.  If you would like to support this school in its efforts to promote the German lanugage and heritage please contact their principal Christine Guschewski by email guschewski@ica.net or by phone 647-528-8913.

17 Designs was excited to create this mobile-friendly WordPress website www.brcrestoration.ca for start-up company BRC Restoration Inc. (Uxbridge, ON).  It is normal for a new company to be cautious on how much to invest in marketing and a new website.  For many new businesses no income is coming in but there are a lot of expenditures.  That’s where 17 Designs can help by developing an introductory website that has the potential to grow.  These sites generally start off as 3 pages (Home, Contact and News) and expand as the business propers.

The BRC Restoration website has everything it needs to make an immediate impact in the construction industry and also generate leads.  The Home Page includes an animated banner featuring large scale construction projects with summarized impact statements, About Us text, links to Association Partners, a Contact Us callout and a Portfolio of Recent Projects.  The site also features Blog postings with construction photos.  Each article includes multiple TAGS (keywords) which will trigger organic SEO.  Ask us how we can create and maintain a WordPress website for your new business.

17 Designs recently updated the custom PHP website of our Oakville-based client Bronte Collection www.brontecollection.ca by adding two new product categories (Grabcessories and LiveWell) and by posting 67 products available for sale through Bronte’s Shopify portal.  The update required changes to the Bronte website MegaMenu to allow for a second row of product categories.  A new, stylish jQuery LayerSlider banner was developed and two feature pages were added – one to promote organic SEO for the new Bronte products; and, the other to explain the Free Mounting System included with each purchase.  Display of the new Grabcessories products required re-engineering of product templates to include a jQuery hover activated product image switch, the addition of product availability status (for products Coming Soon and those Priced on Request), a Product Inquiry Form and additional product finishes.  And finally, these new product categories required updates to the website secure back-end for product maintenance and support.

Bronte Collection carries Grabcessories products because…

“Grabcessories independent Living System will greatly reduce falls in the bathroom giving caregivers, family members and end-users peace of mind.  Falls are the leading cause of injury death for older North Americans. Falls threaten seniors’ safety and independence and generate enormous economic and personal costs. However, falling is not an inevitable result of aging. Through highly researched Fall Prevention systems like Grabcessories, evidence-based interventions, practical lifestyle adjustments, and community partnerships, the number of falls among seniors can be substantially reduced.”

17 Designs recently added a Testimonial Slideshow and an Instagram Feed to the Dearcroft Montessori custom WordPress website.  The Testimonial Slideshow is a leading generating tool and it is hoped that by demonstrating positive parent and graduate feedback new students will be attracted to attend the school.  The Instagram Feed gives useful insight to parents on activities students participate in and its purpose is to showcase how nurturing and caring an environment Dearcroft is.

The addition of the Testimonial Slideshow was achieved using a Plugin that was further customized using CSS @media queries to fit required screen dimensions and also had a unique background added to celebrate Dearcroft’s 50th Anniversary. A testimonial submission form with heading, name, email, website and photo was included in this update.  Parent testimonials are submitted first to Dearcroft staff via email and then can be approved using a WordPress interface (similar to Posts) before going live.

The Instagram Feed was achieved using a JavaScript that is linked to Dearcroft’s Instagram account.  As photos are added to Instagram the website is automatically updated.
