We've always thought that the BC Union Label directory was a great project, but it deserved to be on the web. With ShopUnion.ca we got our chance to build and deploy this website that helps you find union-made goods and services in BC. This project is set to continue to improve with all the support from labour unions and other progressive organizations.
After struggling for years with their legacy CMS, CUPE BC hired us to re-architect and re-engineer their site. We helped organize their thousands of pages of content, and set them up with Drupal CMS so that they could manage the majority of the postings and updates using their own office staff.
A new round of negotiations meant a fresh design for this site, as well as a new major Call To Action.
We did a re-skin on the site and built a secure feedback form so that concerned individuals could either send a form letter or adapt their own message through an online form on the website.
This BC-based tech startup needed some help bridging the gap between the back-end coding and the product design team. We jumped at the chance as it allowed us to work on a team that was doing cutting edge work. Although the product has yet to break through, the experience we got deploying a mobile web app was invaluable.
