A NEW ERA BEGINS

I still remember the day I decided to create 17west.ca by myself.  I didn’t know anything about web design, I had zero coding skills and limited Photoshop knowledge.  Jump forward a few years and I now maintain 5 websites including 3 blogs.  …  But I’m still learning.

After all this time, 17 West’s home page was still lacking in functionality.  It wasn’t built on a content management platform so updating it was a pain.  Social media sites and networking opportunities were no where to be found.  Most importantly, the site lacked any ability for expansion without having to redesign graphics and layouts from scratch.  It wasn’t an efficient website.  But these are all lessons I learned along the way.  You learn by trying.

Now, the newly rebuilt 17west.ca is a WordPress powered site with more interactivity, more content and a brand new look.  The main page is a simple layout that highlights our films but the central system is the new blog which will be updated often with new content.

I’m excited to finally be able to post new items quickly and enhance our presence online.  The new site is built to take us into the future.  Not only that, we’ve finally uploaded more films for everyone to see.

Head over to 17west.ca and check out our new home!
