Summary:

They distribute and focus their magazine and website initiatives towards the Canadian marketplace. Hub Canada contacted us when sourcing web designers and web developers for a website redesign & dedicated hosting.

The Goal:

  • User friendly
  • Visually appealing while respecting the integrity of the brand
  • Easier to manage and control

  • Allow for Hub Canada's product review and comparison shopping guide to become more interactive, enabling site visitors to provide user generated feedback, content and rate products
  • Enable Hub Canada to view reports on website traffic, statistics and analyze where website traffic was originating from
  • Create a powerful internal search function

The Solution:
