Marketing, e-commerce and social impact Websites

a small but mighty boutique company

Our small boutique company builds long term relationships with our clients. We work closely with you through the entire project and offer a more personalized service than large agencies can.

We’re strategists, designers and programmers with a track record of growing organizations online for over 15 years.

We’ve built marketing websites for product, film and tv series; e-commerce sites for clothing designers, stores and record labels; and social impact sites for climate change and human rights projects. We take on larger projects through our partnerships with brand strategists, social media agencies, writers, photographers, illustrators, and animators to bring a world class team together.

Look below for some of our favourite past projects like SoundOn – the pandemic music relief and recovery project (Music BC/Province of BC), 100 musical performances from BC for Day of Music (Vancouver Symphony Orchestra), Dahlia Drive – Boutique Designer E-commerce, and Project InsideOut – climate change psychology (KR Foundation).

Each of our projects follows the same process which we share below.

Every project starts with a strategy phase which lets us identify and clarify your goals, audience, budget and timeline to develop the best plan for moving forward.

This is the heavy lifting phase where we go through our production process tackling content, UX, functionality, design, programming and launching your project.

We customize an operations plan for your business and this is where our long term relationship starts. We want to grow with you, and help you look good as you do it.

I’ve always done things differently and that is a quality I can pass into the work that I do.

Lara brings a thoughtful and inquisitive approach to clients that we greatly appreciated at the VSO. On a short timeline, she was able to quickly grasp the scope and goals of our project and translate that into a clear design language and implementation path to deliver on time and on budget. We are very happy to recommend Lara to anyone looking for a strong design partner to develop, build and launch a new project.

Lara brings spirit, energy, and deep talent and experience--particularly in visual thinking, web design, and digital storytelling—to any project she works on. I truly couldn't do what I do without her.

Lara approaches her work with methodic planning and detail then injects her whimsical creativity into anything she does. It's a really good balance. I've worked with Lara on three websites now and on one long term project where she headed up the graphics division as well as the website- and I've always been really pleased with the process and results.

Lara's amazing creativity, knowledge of web technology and understanding of audience needs are all integral to her approach to working with her clients. I highly recommend Lara if you're looking for a stunning interactive media product.

Making Sense of Chaos

Taxonomy in WordPress is one of those things that everyone use, but they do not know that they are using it.

Hackers and Slackers

Did you know, that people are trying to break into your WordPress website basically all the time, which may come as a shock to you.

Control Freak?

Yes I am! It's so important to make sure you have a system for user roles and what different people will be doing on the site.

For the movers, shakers, innovators, change-makers, disruptors

For years, I struggled with how to wrap everything I was good at, passionate about, into a service that people not only needed, but valued.

Why Wireframe?

I have been to meetings where, more than once, it has been suggested that we skip the wireframe stage and roll right into the design.

How do you create online order from chaos?

The difference between free, license and membership options when you are looking at plugin functionality for your wordpress site can be confusing.

How Much is a WordPress Site?

The cost to properly plan, research, design and develop a professional WordPress website is a lot of work.

Ennui of the Ordinary

The power of images to communicate, to change minds and to create, is immeasurable but the world is drowning in images.

All Themes are Not Created Equal

Looks matter, but it’s what’s underneath the design that matters more and installing a bad theme can make you crazy.

DIY WordPress

It’s time to get down and dirty and build a DIY WordPress website. Let me give you the run down before we get started.

Too Many Plugins

Plugins are powerful and handy and beautiful but just because you can add a plugin doesn’t mean that you should.

What the heck is a sitemap?

A sitemap tells search engines about the content that you have on your site and how often it’s updated.

Google Ana…what?

Google's tracking of your browsing habits is pernicious and insidious but very helpful, on the other hand, if YOU want to track visitors.

Size Does Matter

I always get asked questions about sizing photographs and it is indeed a very important detail for your site.

Getting into Bed with Video

I wish that there were not so many new things to learn and I could just rest easy but alas, things keep changing, especially with video!

SEO Basics

I usually tell my clients that drawing people to your site is most effective the old fashioned way.

You Tube VS Vimeo

Two of the most popular hosting platforms today are YouTube and Vimeo and they’re both great options.

Choosing the Right Developer

Choosing the right WordPress developer to create a professional website is like getting married.
