Spirits Canada – Marketing, Web Design & Digital Strategy

A national association needs more than a website. Through an ongoing WordPress and marketing retainer and campaign rollout, we help Spirits Canada keep member communications, advocacy, and digital tools current across Canada.

The Why Behind the Work

Spirits Canada’s work spans advocacy, member support, public education, and industry leadership, and their digital presence needs to keep pace. As new initiatives roll out across Canada, the website and communications must stay consistent, accessible, and easy to update, without losing clarity or credibility.

This partnership was built to support a national association with ongoing needs, while also making room for deeper marketing guidance as priorities expand.

How We Helped

  • Led a major WordPress website redesign, including UX/UI improvements across the full site.
  • Planned and built a comprehensive board portal to support governance, documents, and member-only access.
  • Developed site structure, page layouts, and content flow to improve clarity and reduce friction.
  • Supported copywriting and content strategy with SEO + GEO considerations to match how people search.
  • Designed and produced branded templates and communication tools for internal and public-facing use.
  • Delivered ongoing campaign and program assets across web, email, and social media.
  • Provided accessibility-minded design support aligned with AODA/WCAG best practices.
  • Continued site improvements and marketing support through an ongoing retainer.

Our Continued Partnership

  • Ongoing WordPress website support updates, backups, and performance monitoring.
  • Continuous site improvements to support new initiatives, member needs, and evolving priorities.
  • Management and updates for key association tools and content areas as programs expand.
  • Marketing advisory and planning support for 2026 initiatives beyond production work.
  • Design support for national campaigns, Ontario-based initiatives, and event communications.

Bytowne and Fox Theatre

ByTowne Cinema & Fox Theatre Website Design & Development

ByTowne Cinema in Ottawa and Fox Theatre in Toronto share a custom WordPress platform that supports two distinct brands while creating a seamless experience for film lovers.

The Why Behind the Work

The two independent cinemas have distinct identities, loyal audiences, and strong programming. What they shared was a need for a more flexible digital foundation. Their previous websites made updates time-consuming, limited how showtimes and events were displayed, and created friction for users trying to browse films or buy tickets on mobile. As programming expanded and audience expectations shifted, the digital experience needed to be better to support discovery, booking, and day-to-day operations.

How We Helped

  • Collaborative Discovery Process: Partnered with ByTowne Cinema and Fox Theatre to understand their unique brand identities, business goals, and audience needs through in-depth discovery sessions.
  • Strategic Navigation Planning: Conducted SEO keyword research and competitive analysis to create a user-friendly navigation plan and content outline tailored to each cinema’s audience.

  • Custom Website Design: Designed visually branded and responsive websites for each cinema, ensuring a unique look and feel that reflects their individual brand identities while maintaining a cohesive structure.

  • Enhanced User Experience: Developed wireframes and prototypes to optimize user experience, focusing on seamless navigation, conversion goals, and intuitive design. ​

  • API Integration for Ticketing: Integrated Agile Ticketing Systems API to streamline show listings, ticket booking, and venue reservations, enhancing the customer experience.

  • Conversion-Optimized Copywriting: Crafted compelling, brand-specific website copy to engage visitors, drive ticket sales, and encourage venue bookings.

  • SEO and Analytics Setup: Implemented on-page SEO optimization, Google Analytics, and Google Search Console to improve search engine visibility and track website performance.

  • Comprehensive Testing and Quality Assurance: Conducted rigorous QA and browser testing to ensure functionality, responsiveness, and a seamless user experience across all devices.

Evidence for Democracy

Evidence for Democracy – Website Redesign for a Public Policy Nonprofit

Evidence for Democracy (E4D), a non-partisan nonprofit based in Ottawa, Ontario, is Canada’s leading voice for evidence-informed decision-making. As the organization approached its 10-year anniversary, it partnered with 1dea to redesign its website to better reflect its impact, modernize the user experience, and strengthen its reach to a broader, more diverse audience.

Tablet view of Evidence for Democracy’s Ottawa nonprofit website design highlighting advocacy impact metrics and modern digital strategy features.

The Why Behind the Work

E4D’s original website was outdated, unintuitive to navigate, and failed to communicate the energy and authority of the organization. Their goals included:

  • Revamping their brand presence to celebrate a decade of impact
  • Creating a modern, mobile-friendly website that attracts and engages a wider, younger audience
  • Improving UX to support access to campaigns, publications, blogs, and training resources
  • Integrating accessibility (WCAG 2.0 AA), CRM capabilities, and SEO best practices
  • Enhancing storytelling through features like an interactive timeline and a more effective donation experience

How We Helped

  • Designed and developed a responsive WordPress website with Elementor for flexible content management
  • Restructured over 250 content pieces (including blog posts, reports, and campaigns) to improve findability and navigation
  • Integrated WCAG 2.0 AA accessibility features to meet compliance standards and enhance usability
  • Developed a scalable architecture prepared for future bilingual expansion
  • Through user journey mapping, we gained strategic insights which crafted the storytelling approach ensuring compelling copywriting to maximize engagement and conversion

  • Optimized templates for mobile, action-oriented engagement, and CRM compatibility
  • Interactive features such as timelines, member sign-up, member login portal, online petition integration, and donation page integration
  • Provided analytics setup through Google Console, GA, SEM, and SEO on-page optimization

The Why Behind the Work

theROC needed more than a logo refresh. They needed a brand that could better reflect who they are today, resonate with youth and families, and help the organization show up with confidence across every touchpoint.

Their previous identity didn’t match the energy of the programs, the warmth of the people behind them, or the scale of what they’ve built in Prince Edward County. This project became about clarity, consistency, and creating a visual system that could grow with them. 

With a need to achieve self-sustainability beyond government grants and clarify their community impact, key goals included:

  • Securing diverse funding and achieving self-sustainability through increased donor recognition.

  • Clarifying the organization’s identity to ensure their impact on the community is widely understood.

  • Creating a secure and inclusive environment that fosters growth and empowerment for local youth.

  • Building a bold visual foundation that bridges the gap between professional supporters and non-conformist youth.

How We Helped

  • Led brand strategy and identity development to better reflect theROC’s mission, tone, and community presence.
  • Designed a complete visual identity system including logo, typography, colour palette, icon style, and brand standards.
  • Built a WordPress website with UX/UI planning to support programs, donations, and community engagement.
  • Developed page layouts and content structure that support SEO and local discoverability in Prince Edward County.
  • Created campaign-ready outreach materials including posters, signage, and branded templates for ongoing use.
  • Provided design support for in-space branding to strengthen recognition and consistency across physical environments.

Our Continued Partnership

  • Ongoing WordPress support to keep the website secure, updated, and performing well.
  • Continued design support for campaign materials, posters, and community outreach.
  • Updates to website content and layouts as programs evolve and new needs emerge.
  • Brand stewardship to ensure new materials stay consistent and recognizable.
  • Strategic support as theROC grows its fundraising and community visibility.
