Essential Coding

My personal website, Scottoldford.com has just launched, it has surprisingly gotten a fair amount of attention on some web design lists from all around the web. Whilst developing my new website I wanted something more then just a splash page like I did (here) but rather I wanted something that branded “me” and allowed me to allow people into my life, let them learn who I am and what I do. The main goal of the website is too show them that although I am the founder of Essential Coding Inc. which completes professional web development and design in Newfoundland and Labrador that I do more then just that. This website, in two words “defines me”.

I encourage you too take a look my the personal website, see some of the projects I’m working (and will soon) be working on. Let me convince you that I’m not the scary founder of Essential Coding Inc. that you think I am.

Switching gears, I just wanted to let everyone know that since I won the Top 20 under 20 award I will also have chance to go to Courage to Soar in Waterloo, Ontario from Thursday to Monday this coming week for some training from the fine folks at Youth in Motion. I’m really looking forward to that, along with the relaxing time it’ll bring and more then anything the wealth of knowledge that will come with it.

Until next time,

Scott Oldford

Just wanted to drop in and let everyone know of a really amazing service that we just finished developing. If you use Twitter and have a website or blog then you can really, really find this useful. It’s called AddTweets and it is one fast, customizable and sleek application that I believe many will enjoy. It basically allows you to add your twitter feed on your website or blog, easily and effectively. Enjoy!
I’m hoping to have more time in the next few days to bring the readers up to speed but until then, have a look at AddTweets!

P.S. My new website, scottoldford.com is now online, why not have a look?

We just released some great things to the world-wide-web, and working on some equally pleasing web presences. Here are a couple websites we have released in the month of June.

The Salmon Festival website was released late in May, and has so far exceeded far beyond our expectations of the website and how it would be used. You can have a look at the web design and the back end design we created for it over at http://www.salmonfestival.com.

We also just completed a web development and design project for Ocean Drive Real Estate, located in Triton, Newfoundland and Labrador. Their main aim was to get the knowledge out about their new company and the land development that they were completing in simply beautiful town of Triton, Newfoundland and Labrador. I believe we accomplished this, it turned out great!

Just a few days ago we officially released the long awaited Community of Miller town website. The website aims to not only attract tourists with the towns rich history but inform current, past and future residents of the humble beginnings of the community. You can view the website at http://www.communityofmillertown.ca today!

In the last couple months we’ve been developing the programming that will make Rafting Newfoundland (formerly Red Indian Adventures) work. We’ve just completed all the programming for the website and aside from a few small bugs you can take a look at it over at http://www.raftingnewfoundland.com.

As I’ve said we are working on a whole lot of stuff, and as a team we are very excited from our client’s projects to our internal projects.

If you’d like to start a project with Essential Coding Inc. why don’t you contact us today?

I’m going to make this quick and short, but will write a full article later..

Scott Oldford, Our Chief Executive Officer has won Youth in Motions Top 20 under 20 Award. This award shows great innovation, and leadership for students under the age of.. (you guessed it) 20.

This is the start of something great, and an amazing experience for our CEO in the very near future. A full in-depth blog article will follow in the next few days with more details.

Until next time.

Hi Folks!

From May 9th to May 11th, Essential Coding, participated in the local Grand Falls-Windsor, NL, Trade Fair. This trade fair has some four thousand visitors from across the island, along with over sixty exhibitors. We saw it as a great opportunity that is provided by the Town of Grand Falls-Windsor and the Exploits Valley Regional Chamber of Commerce. After spending a considerable amount of money to participate, it was a great success. We were quite impressed with the many people and businesses that we had the opportunity to meet. Over the weekend, we gave away 6 Essential Coding Branded T-Shirts and Tote Bags. Along with the grand prize, a full website development and design package, valued at $1500.00. The lucky winner of this Professional Web Development and Design Package was Terra Nova Granite Memorials.

We hope to meet, and work with many of the great people that we met over the past weekend. If any of you folks have any questions, please contact us!

As more and more changes occur here at Essential Coding, things have to be re-evaluated. One thing that is going to change, with the new web front design, is that this blog will no longer have so called personal “thoughts”. But rather it will announce company news, client website releases and subjects that are directly related to Essential Coding. Instead of rambling, which should be completed on a regular personal blog, it will be a place to come for the latest things that Essential Coding has completed. Until this weekend, that’ll be all!

Check back soon, as entries of our trade show weekend will be online as it happens!
