Lanark County Planning Council for Children and Youth
The Lanark County Planning Council for Children and Youth needed a website that they could use as both a means of information-sharing and educating the public on the needs of youth in our community but also as portal for member-agencies to log in securely and to share information.
The Planning Council received a whole web site redesign along with a WordPress Multi-User installation and a Buddypress, social media portal to allow them the opportunity to network with each other.
Town and Country Chrysler
Town and Country Chrysler needed a website which they could use to both manage AND showcase their new, used and exotic vehicles as well as highlight the whereabouts of their Community Events Vehicle. OnCouRSS custom-built an inventory management tool which would allow the Town and Country staff to input vehicle data along with multiple photos and supplementary information. The data on each vehicle is logged in the web site database and becomes search-able by site visitors.
Featured stock is rotated on the front page and a promotions-management tool has also been integrated. All of the site features are easily managed and maintained by Town and Country staff!

The Renfrew County Catholic District School Board wanted a site where they could integrate their core beliefs with a quality design and accessible strategies. They also wanted to be able to provide a full-featured content management system to each of their schools and partners so that they could stay autonomous in the daily management of their web life.

The complete redesign that OnCouRSS completed for the Lanark County Tourism website has been extremely successful – The look, the functionality and the layout are all more than we could have hoped for.
