Web Development and Design

You want to develop a website to help promote your brand. You want it to be inviting, attract future customers and make it stand out. You’re looking for the total package of websites – one of substance AND beauty.

That’s where we come in. At AOR360, we help you design your website based on a strategy. Who is your target audience? What do you want the end user to be able to do? Not sure? Let us guide you.

Our team of experienced programmers develop the website to make it work in the first place. This includes anything from server configuration to database management to programming scripts and more. In the meantime, we’re working together on the visual aspect of your site – the web design. Web design encompasses things such as colours, images, layout, fonts, graphics, etc. All of this ensures functionality to service your audience, reflects your brand, and is optimized for search.

Before the launch of your new, user-friendly, visually appealing website – we put it through rigorous quality assurance testing. When all is said and done, we hand over the keys to your site. We give you all the web files, analytics data, and make sure all the URL’s and site hosting are in your name.

We don’t just build websites. We know a thing or two about developing web-apps, too. Do you have a great idea for an app but the thought of making it come to life feels like an impossible task? Well, forgive us for sounding cliche, but we have the experience and skills to make your dream become a reality.

Strategic Planning

Strategic planning is a disciplined effort to produce decisions and actions that guide and shape what an organization is, what it does and why it does it.

The use of outside facilitation can bring, and guide participants through, a proven and successful process to consolidate relevant information, incorporate information from key stakeholders engagement, and develop a process to support both governance and operations in strategic planning. A facilitated process can also ensure that the resulting strategic plan is tied to the governance needs for not only setting ends to achieve, but identifying measures of success. A good strategic plan also lays out a clear process that supports the operation’s needs for reporting on results.

Our team has significant expertise providing planning and engagement services for provincial/territorial and national clients, including:

• Strategic planning process design and facilitation
• Contextual analysis
• Facilitation, surveys and focus groups
• Stakeholder engagement and partnership development
• Operational planning
• Measurement and evaluation
• Design and implementation of related communications strategies
