objectives

VanArbour always puts their clients first and their website was no exception. One of the primary objectives was to provide different ways for visitors to view their portfolio so the visitor could choose what worked best for them.
Combat the common perception that VanArbour works exclusively on large-scale custom home projects by visually demonstrating the diverse range of projects for which they create custom millwork.
Allow for new projects with large volumes of photos to be readily added, adjusted and organized.

it's in the details

Portfolio: allows visitors to view the portfolio in the way that best works for them, either by the project type (condo & townhomes, custom homes or renovations), by room or by project.
Easily Updateable: the most time consuming part of editing the VanArbour website is adding new portfolio items, a custom interface was created to allow administrators to add new projects from a single page interface that allows the photo order to be modified, before and after photos added, feature images selected and more.
Before & After: Before & after images are featured in a slideshow for renovations, allowing visitors to see what is possible through different angles of the rooms.

Dan and Nikki are an absolute joy to work with. They have done an incredible job of updating our website and their work speaks for itself. We love what they have done and so have our clients. When we started this process we had some specific ideas and formats that we wanted to incorporate into our website and they came up with fantastic solutions and ideas to make it happen. They have worked with us and made our vision come to fruition. It is now seamless, clean, straight forward and easy to work with. They have done a masterful job keeping our website up to date and are always happy to make adjustments and updates for us when I have more items to add to our portfolio (and sometimes there was a lot). They are always patient and adapting to our requests and making sure we make the right choices. Their expertise and professionalism are top notch and they are always willing to take the time to answer our questions and endless emails and always gave us advice and direction on how to improve our concepts. Their process from start to finish is extremely professional and there is never any doubt that they have your best interest at hand - they always make you feel like you are the most important client. They are some of the nicest people I know and we are so happy that we have been able to work with them over the last few years.
