This project was the first phase of the Brookfield Web re-development initiative. Climax Media was hired from a competitive list of agencies to plan, build and manage an enterprise Web solution. Brookfield, a large conglomerate, required a unified Web presence which could accommodate all of it business units and give the company a strong presence online. The solution had to be rapidly deployed, branded to corporate guide lines and easy to manage. Climax Media created a bold and modern look and feel incorporating Brookfield’s trademark blue brand color. The layout of the site was designed to accommodate a great deal of text content and a variety of functional modules. A custom content management system (CMS) was developed to drive the Brookfield Web site and provide dynamic functionality that would update the site as Brookfield needed it. The CMS was also segmented so that it could serve the unique needs of each business units.

Brookfield Soundvest Capital Management Ltd., Ottawa's oldest investment counselor, was established in 1970.

As part of the Brookfield group of companies, Brookfield Soundvest needed its Web site updated and brought into the corporate branding standard. Climax Media took on the challenge of creating a site that would target high net-worth individuals and organizations. The result is a professional site with classic touches that express Brookfield Soundvest's stability and longevity, while maintaining the branding standard of the related Brookfield companies.

Planon manufactures and sells high-end pen-style page scanners for the corporate and industrial market. It needed an up-to-date Web site that would catalogue the large number of products, as well as provide information to OEMs. Climax Media redesigned the Planon site to modernize its plain HTML appearance. Starting with a Flash animation, we reorganized its line-up of scanners into logical categories. Each scanner is showcased with a variety of images, extensive descriptions, feature lists, and technical specifications. A section is the site is devoted to OEMs and their specific requirements. The result is an easy-to-navigate site that not only provides all of the information prospective customers need, but also guides them to the appropriate retailer, reseller, or Planon's own online store..
