Websites and online ordering in Halifax

immediaC is a web and software agency in Halifax, Nova Scotia, that has built websites for businesses since 1998. Its clients range from start-ups to publicly traded companies across Canada. Its website work includes responsive design and front-end development, with online ordering and booking built in where a client needs them, such as the ordering site it built for a doughnut shop.

Apps built in house, not contracted out

The company develops iOS and Android apps and says it never contracts out its app work. Its team has hands-on expertise in mobile apps and works with the Microsoft server stack and Visual Studio, following Scrum and Agile project management. The company also uses augmented reality in mobile and retail settings.

Search work built into the design process

Search optimization is built into each stage of the web design process rather than added afterwards. The company has done search work since 2006. Its view is that a site outside the first page of results is effectively unseen, which is why it builds search tools into the design from the start.

Branding, writing and AI tools

Custom design and writing covers branding, logos and written content, so a client's channels stay consistent. The company's AI work covers chatbots, software and productivity tools, and it describes AI as a way to improve everyday work with human expertise behind it.

Clients across theatre, brewing and health learning

Clients include Neptune Theatre, Macphail Woods, the Nova Scotia Health Learning Institute and a brewery project, Big Spruce Brewing, whose early pandemic period the company describes in its material. Its web work has won awards for restaurant websites. The team numbers sixteen people, the company reports, and it holds a five-star Google rating. It also supports local community groups such as the Nova Scotia Talent Trust and the Halifax North West Trails Association.
