Crowsnest Pass: Website Launch!
Written by Erin Bourne Thursday, 20 August 2009 12:50
The Crowsnet Pass website has just been launched! The new site is a place where residents, businesses and visitors can easily find everything they need to know about the community and surrounding area. There's a ton of things to see on the new site: it's a great place to find local events, local businesses, information for residents, tourist sights, volunteer opportunities, a photo gallery and more.
The content management system we've installed and customized for them is going to make it easy to keep the site up-to-date. Check it out - we even made the newspaper [PDF - 335kb].

This summer I was very fortunate to have been chosen as a mentor for the Google Summer of Code project. I worked with an extremely talented student on a project for Joomla! one of the world's largest content management systems. This was great on so many levels. I was able to share my experience and expertise with someone new, contribute back to an open source project by volunteering my time and I got a t-shirt from Google!

Kinsmen Club of Red Deer: New Project!
Written by Nicole Braseth Friday, 17 July 2009 09:27
The Red Deer chapter of the Kinsmen contacted us in order to freshen up their current website (and Dream Home Lottery sister website). The Kinsmen have a long standing history of providing funding for playgrounds, sporting facilities, long term care facilities and even hospitals. We love clients that are focused on giving back (but can also appreciate the value of a good-lookin' and highly functioning website)!
The website redesign will include updating the look of both the main Kinsmen website as well as the Dream Home Lottery page. We'll also be adding things like a member's login, events calendar, forum, photo gallery (and video!) and of course, a content management system with all kinds of special goodies to help with the Dream Home Lottery. Stay tuned...

Here at Idea Market we like to keep on top of things... so when a Photoshop seminar comes to Calgary, we pounce! Erin and I took the day to drive down to Calgary and learn some new Photoshop tricks (and brush up on some old ones). We went last year, and Erin attended 2007's seminar as well... which is just our way of saying that we like to expand our horizons, learn new techniques and make our workflow more efficient.
Over our lunch break, we took the opportunity to visit Art Central , home to our Design-A-Thon friends Carbon Media, whose studio is housed behind the shop front of Nation (also ran by the CM crew) and Uppercase (a shop/gallery devoted to the love of type and print)! Love the creative vibe of Art Central... maybe we should rent out the basement of the Idea Market house and get some more creative peers to share the space with...

New Project: Red Deer County
Written by Carson Pierce Saturday, 30 May 2009 08:38
Idea Market is proud and excited to announce our newest project: a website and intranet update for Red Deer County.
About the ProjectRed Deer County requires major updates to their existing external website and staff intranet, including an updated content management system that spans both. Particularly interesting is the intranet side, as it will be such a vital part of the County's day-to-day operations. As a hub for all work information and communication, it will be the kind of tool that County employees log into when they first arrive at work and use extensively all day. We have some neat things planned...
