Most Recent Work

Antique Chevrolet Parts Business Cards Client: Antique Chevrolet Parts
Description: We've worked with the Antique Chev team in the past to provide a bit of modernization to their aged computer systems so with the behind the scenes infrastructure updated, it was time to align their business cards with their affiliates, Bay Ridges Classic Chevy (below). This is the end result.

Emerald Staffing Client: Emerald Staffing
Description: A temporary employment agency in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) specializing in hospitality & tourism placements, Emerald Staffing was in need of an identity and an online presence. We worked very closely with the team to develop a brand with an iconic logo design, business cards, brochures, and a fully automated website with a job posting board. We also ran multiple tutorials with the team on key social media tools like Twitter and Facebook, set up an RSS feed to allow visitors to quickly & easily view the latest jobs, and optimized their site for search engines.

Northern Stars Dance Competition Client: Northern Stars Dance Competition
Description: Northern Stars Dance had a web design they liked but was in need of an easier way of updating their content without resorting to editing the HTML and CSS directly. MDS customized & implemented a content management system (CMS) to enable quick and efficient updates via easy-to-use graphical web interfaces. The existing design was updated, then converted into a template and seamlessly integrated with the CMS. Next, we provided one-on-one training sessions and created a handy user guide for future reference. We also provided a series of design updates and automated tools to make their site administration that much easier.

Bay Ridges Classic Chevy Business Cards Client: Bay Ridges Classic Chevy
Description: Bay Ridges Classic Chevy, offering restoration parts for classic Chevy cars and trucks needed a set of business cards that immediately identified them with classic cars but that wouldn't come across as dated. They also wanted a tool to help people find them in the small rural town of Little Britain, Ontario. MDS helped put Bay Ridges Classic Chevy on the map.

Ingram Cottages Client: Ingram Cottages
Description: The goal of the Ingram Cottages project was to provide a user-friendly, dynamic portal to enable visitors to easily view existing and make new reservations at the client's cottages. Green was chosen as the prominent colour for the site to enhance the woodsy feeling along with yellow as a warming effect, giving the illusion that you are already at the cottage. The site is powered by a custom CMS coded in MySQL & PHP with a Flash gallery.

Mad Dog Studios Client: Mad Dog Studios
Description: These are our redesigned business cards to match our new website and a prime example of our branding services. These cards have die cut rounded corners, and UV coating on both sides on 12pt card stock.

Canadian Classic Chevy Club Client: Canadian Classic Chevy Club
Description: This site was put together for the good folks of the Canadian Classic Chevy Club to showcase their cars, share club news and stories, and serve as a information portal for new members. The Chevrolet bowtie emblem was chosen as the theme for the site, which runs an older version of the Sitekore CMS, developed in-house here at MDS.

the Junkyard Client: the Junkyard
Description: The Junkyard is an online gaming website covering a handful of niche games on the PC. The Sitekore CMS software is running behind the scenes to serve hundreds of dynamic pages to the visitors. A variety of site themes were developed for the Junkyard, allowing the visitor to individualize their experience on the site. A simple, clean look was opted for the site to decrease load times and allow the content to shine.

Terrascape Complete Exteriors Client: TerraScape Complete Exteriors Inc.
Description: TerraScape is a small Canadian landscaping company who needed a new brand to go with its recently launched company. We were hired to modernize its existing aging brand while keeping the focus purely Canadian. The result was a clean-cut logo that could be applied across work vehicles, stationary, and its website.
