"Everything you wanted to know about color, but were afraid to ask".

Color Maniacs is a central location to communicate thoughts, opinions, facts, and stories about color.  Using a network of pigment-passionate individuals, they have provided a creative environment for users to gain and share knowledge and ideas on color and how it relates to everyday life in different aspects.

CyberSlang Consulting/BIGEYE Productions consulted with the Color Maniacs group on a concept for their website and accompanying Blog design. Shortly after "go-live", there were literally hundreds of subscribers and contributors to the Blog.

The Color Maniacs site presents creative concepts and a wealth of information about color and its role in every day life. It also features a number of streaming videos dealing with color theories.

Calgary Benjamin Moore was launched on October 23, 2009. This site, featuring Benjamin Moore's complete line of paint and stain products, is a collaboration between Calgary South Decorating and Southpointe Paint and Décor. These Benjamin Moore Signature dealers are very knowledgeable in all areas of painting and decorating, having years of experience in the field, as well as in-depth product support and training from the folks at Benjamin Moore.

Blogging has been around for a while. It certainly isn't new technology on the Internet, but in the Paint and Decorating industry, the Blog has been underutilized. Pat Struth at Calgary South Decorating and Dave Allen at Southpointe Paint and Décor have recognized this. To better serve their customers, and to share valuable finishing information with the gerneral public, Pat and Dave have added an innovative Blog called "Coffee & Paint" to their site.

Using the popular WordPress open-source Blog engine, we were able to create a custom look and feel for "Coffee and Paint", efficeintly, and economically for Calgary Benjamin Moore.

Our thanks to Pat and Dave for putting their trust in our design staff. Working with them has been a pleasure. We wish them every success in their Internet endeavours.

Long-time cutomer, Rick Downs (www.atechbuilder.com), enlisted our services to produce a complete "look", including logo design and a brand new website for Americn RTM Homes, his new company, located in Malta, MN, USA. Rick has always been an innovator in the RTM Home Construction industry, pioneering energy-efficient building techniques, as well as "Green" construction practices.

American RTM Homes produces gorgeous Ready-to-Move homes, featuring contemporary designs, featuring many options such as custom kitchen cabinets. Homes are built in American RTM's Malta production facility, and moved to customer's lots throughout the state of Montana.

We are pleased the CyberSlang design staff was able to come up with a logo and website concept that met with Rick's needs.

Ric Driediger, owner of Churchill River Canoe Outfitters is a legend amongst avid canoe trekkers. He has paddled just about every body of water in Saskatchewan, Canada's north, as well as many others in other provinces and the Arctic. Ric became a client in the summer of 2008. CyberSlang's staff members travelled to C.R.C.O.'s base camp in Missinipe, Saskatchewan to photograph the lodge facilities, and to gather materials for website content.

Each summer, eager canoeists travel from across the world to the tiny hamlet of Missinipe just to meet Ric, and to explore Saskatchewan's north with his fantastic staff. Their love and respect for nature, as well as their deep commitment to customer service is the reason why. CyberSlang Consulting is honored to be an integral part of C.R.C.O.'s marketing strategy, from logo and website design, to print.

We began working with Ric in 2008, making a trip to C.R.C.O.'s homebase in Missinipe, SK. to meet he and his wife, Theresa and his staff, photograph the camp, the area, and gather information to write content for the new website. In the summer of 2009, Zane Hrynewich, head of our design team, made two more trips north, again to take photos and compile content. The C.R.C.O. website was revised, and re-designed and the updated look was launched in October, 2009.

Ric is dedicated to the paddling lifestyle, and to promoting the literally hundreds of canoe trips available in Saskatchewan's far north. To this end, we have launched a companion Blog to the main C.R.C.O. site called the "Wilderness Wanderer". Through this Blog, it is Ric's desire to create an online clearing house for up-to-date canoe tripping information in northern Saskatchewan.

Churchill River Canoe Outfitters designs and manufactures a number of unique and innovative products for the outdoor enthusiast. Exclusive to them is a really cool Environmental Fireplace, which is portable, extremely efficient, and eco-friendly. C.R.C.O.'s Campfire Tent was developed through years of testing in northern Saskatchewan's Boreal wilderness.

Until now, Ric's products were marketed mainly through his office in Missinipe, SK. They were also featured on his website, but ordering was done via phone and/or email. Product images were poor and unavaiable for many items. During his last trip to Missinipe, Zane Hrynewich photographed Ric's complete product line, and returned to Saskatoon armed with the materials to build a true, secure online store for C.R.C.O.

Located on a remote lake in Saskatchewan, Canada's Boreal Forest, Forest House offers elegant accommodations in a self-sustaining, ecologically sensitive environment. Forest House was carefully constructed over a thirty year period with the specific goal of having a minimal impact on the sensitive Boreal Forest. Forest House features a spacious main lodge and two luxurious cabins. All are solar powered, and are complete with running water and self-composting toilets. The really amazing thing, is that guests are fed gourmet meals, with produce harvested from Forest House's organic gardens. At this latitude and longitude, a fruitful garden such as this is a testament to Forest House's dedication to providing facilities that are truly unique.

At Forest House, time stands still. Guests have many options, like exploring the many pristine lakes in the area, hiking over five kilometers of trails, relaxing in the lakeside sauna, and nurturing their souls, by re-connecting with nature.

CyberSlang Consulting is proud to have been involved in many aspects of branding and promoting Forest House, including logo design, website design, the creation of print materials, textual content, brochures, and much more.

In October, 2009, we designed and launched a "The Boreal Blog" for Forest House, where subscribers can share news about Saskatchewan's delicate Boreal Forest.
