Prototyping
ISSofBC has a fantastic reputation for helping all kinds of newcomers to Canada with their services. We have worked with them on not only their main site (three times in 10 years), but also on five projects for their sub-organizations and several years of SEO support.
We approached the most recent project with a focus on creating a clean new information architecture and search filtering, to further facilitate an intuitive user flow for a wide variety of visitor needs.
Style
ISS’s imagery and aesthetic needs to immediately feel welcoming to people from a wide variety of cultures and experiences. We refreshed the look of their site within their strict brand palette and styling, continuing to focus on spacious pages and an overall friendly, professional vibe.
Bringing it All Together
The latest redesign of the ISSofBC website is a polished, welcoming user experience, with clear paths to find crucial resources and services. Whether the visitor is looking for settlement services, job search help, or to make a donation, the new site structure and navigation make it smooth and seamless. And now that it’s built on our site builder, Refoundry, it’s significantly easier for their team to update as programs and services change.
Built with Refoundry
Refoundry is a low-code site builder plugin created by Forge and Smith’s owner, Shawn Johnston, and our team of engineers. We’ve been building all of our websites on it since late 2022. It empowers our clients with total creative freedom in WordPress, and the ability to more easily grow and scale their sites.
