First contracted to work on enRoute’s website in 2008, the relationship between Spafax (enRoute’s publishing company) and WebIT has remained strong. Spafax has consistently contracted out to WebIT their small and large development projects.
One notable highlight of the enRoute website is the Trip Builder section. It allows a user to anonymously create, print and share a selection of activities in a given city. For this feature, WebIT worked on-site with Spafax for the duration of the project.

Tribal was looking for a system that would remove some of the customer load from the sales people and offer their customers a means to place their orders online. Through LeSite.ca, WebIT was contracted to help in developing an online sales system that could be used by both the Tribal sales employees and their customers in placing bulk orders. A major effort was put into linking this system with the Tribal back-end ERP.

AskMen.com
- Custom CMS for an existing editorial cycle
- Organizing old articles
- New features and external content
AskMen.com is the biggest online men’s life style magazine. With a daily audience of over 500′000 and 35 new articles a week, the magazine required special attention. I custom built a CMS that fit into their editor’s style of work, reducing their copy to publish time. I also stored their existing content into a database to facilitate its retrieval and any future change to the site. Finally, I added new features. Over this period of time, AskMen.com saw a considerable increase in viewership.

3Macs came to HTC with a request for a site redesign. They were using an older CMS that required additional features for their new look.

Additionally, I assisted in the upgrade of their older CMS.
