Meet The Team

Online Graphics was formed in August 1991 by Nigel Wakelen as a support company for TopShot International Imaging, Ltd. with a primary focus on aerial photographic imaging, graphic arts (prepress) and printing services for the Vancouver real estate market.As online marketing became more widely adopted, Online Graphics offered website design and internet marketing services. In 1999, Nigel Wakelen re-located to Berlin, Germany. In 2008, Nigel partnered with Dan Blagaj to start growing the company in the Canadian market.

Since early 2010, Online Graphics has produced over 60 website design properties for a variety of clients and is growing rapidly mainly due to client referrals. Online Graphics helps to streamline your business communications services to help you save time and money.

We were very fortunate to have Woody House join us in June 2010 as Website Designer. Woody brings a solid background (with hand coding) and modern design sense to the Team including experience with internet marketing; when you join us as a website design client, you will have the opportunity to do ongoing work with Woody.

Client Testimonials – Real Stories

Great job on our website. We are so pleased with how it turned out. Better than imagined.”

“Whenever we get an idea, Nigel always has a solution. We would recommend you to everyonebut would rather keep you to ourselves!”

Katherine Purvis – schönBERLIN Aveda Salon and Spa

“I had one of these build yourself websites and was stuck with restrictions. Nigel came up with a perfect solution and set me up with a customized WoprdPress install. Since Nigel took over as my web designer my site has grown and I am quite happy with him adding the content but at the same time I can also edit pages myself. Thanks for all your hard work and great service.”

Roland Richardson – Lot Property Management

Woody, I want to express my sincere thanks for all the hard work, dedication and support that Online Graphics has provided to us over the past 6 months. Your quality of work and knowledge of online marketing is second to none and your service and support level equal your knowledge which is quite rare in my experience. We were incorporating many of the social media tools to help us in our multi-channel online efforts: however, we were not making the elements like FaceBook and Twitter work in conjunction with each other. Now that we have a cohesive online strategy incorporating best practices with social media and a properly optimized site we are charging up the Google rankings and have achieved first page rankings for over 14 of our search terms.Thanks for a job very well done.

Tim Senger – VP (Operations and Marketing) – Kwikfit Canada Ltd.

“We recently contacted Online Graphics with regard to setting up a website. We were very impressed with the speed and dynamic of their work especially as we really didn’t know what we wanted. Online Graphics guided us through the whole process and gave the limited amount of data we supplied them with a complete facelift and produced a professional looking website. They have also supplied us with new business card formats and we will be changing our headed paper etc… to the new image in due course.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank Nigel and the team at Online Graphics for all their help making the job as painless as possible.”

Howard Cook (Director) – Wildtrax Electronics

I have been working with Woody House on a project which needed a very professional approach to solving difficult problems and required issues of skill, patience and much dedication to details.Woody has been very diligent and dedicated to his work and I would recommend his website design and webmaster skills to any company needing a very dependable and very conscientious developer.

J. D. Steele – The Great Canadian Joke Book

Thank you Online Graphics! Nigel is always prompt with any request we make usually within an hour of receiving our Email.”

Great service.”

Helen Horsman – Horsman Solicitors Ltd. Solicitors

“Thank you Nigel. I have never worked with a company that fixes or changes something on our website whilst discussing it on the phone. Even at 6.00 pm on a friday! By the time our call is finished the work is done.”

“Thank you once again.”

Abdul Rahim Asil – Project Architect – aiBDA Ltd. Architects

That was fast! Thank you for fixing the website, I really appreciate it. You are the best! Just so you know, in my PC side business, whenever anyone asks me if I “do website design” I say no, and give them your name and I refer them to your website, along with a testimonial about how fast and reliable Online Graphics is. I will continue to refer customers.

The Future – Online Graphics

As we continue to expand our website design business, we will growing out of our current office space very quickly and moving to a new location in the Fall of 2012. Most of our work with clients is done remotely so this move should have little impact on our ability to deliver.

The newest trend in website design involves some key areas of development including: HTML5, jQuery, expanded search engine optimization using Google’s latest “Panda“ algorithm and the ongoing development with social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Google Plus. We constantly strive to stay current with all of these trends in order to offer our clients only the best possible website and business marketing solutions.

One of our most favourite website clients is The Great Canadian Joke Book – www.greatcanadianjokebook.com. This particular website challenge involves some very complex and customized back end coding using LAMP technologies (Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP). We have also integrated many social media plug-ins, used several different API bridges (automated progamming interface) and added a very sophisticated video streaming solution to the website interactive database. All of this ”tech talk” does make us smile but the actual comedy content we get to add to the website on a daily basis makes us laugh out loud! When you have a few spare moments, click on the link above and have a look around the website, especially the great cartoons featured in Cartoon Canada. This artistic work is nothing short of brilliant!

We are very proud to be a sponsoring partner of The Great Canadian Joke Book website. Rumour has it that Woody may even try his hand at stand-up comedy in the very near future. If he does, we be be sure to post some videos on our website of the show and offer up his website design position to another qualified candidate.

Most recently, we were challenged with sourcing out a reliable video streaming provider (cloud based) and are happy to be partnering with www.vzaar.com based in the United Kingdom with famous film maker, Oliver Stone, at the helm. This company offers the very best and most intuitive user interface we have used in many years and has very solid customer support to back up their offerings. Check them out today for your video streaming needs.
