Initiatives selects Floatingrock.com for Major Web Development Project
Date: 1/10/2003

Prince George, BC - We are very pleased to announce that Floatingrock.com has been selected by Initiatives Prince George, to develop a comprehensive web application to support the efforts of Initiatives and its agencies. Floatingrock distinguished itself as a high-tech firm capable of developing advanced technologies, and with a proven track record of delivering on complex undertakings.

Initiatives Prince George is a municipally owned corporation, with a fresh identity and an aggressive approach to facilitating Prince George's economic growth and diversification. It is the City’s primary marketing arm, consolidating investment, tourism and film marketing responsibilities.

Gerry Offet, President of Initiatives Prince George:  “We were very impressed with the quality of all the web development proposals received from our local firms and elsewhere.  Floatingrock’s proposal and capabilities fit our guidelines the best.  This is a significant initiative for us.  We’re looking forward to working closely with them on it, and having everything ready for an early spring launch.”

This project will result in the creation of five websites for the organization, with integrated databases, and sophisticated navigation and site management capabilities, covering:

  • Initiatives Prince George
  • Business Prince George
  • Tourism Prince George
  • Film Prince George
  • Events Prince George.

The Initiatives project will see the advent of greater XML integration, taking Serenity yet again to new levels of usefulness and sophistication. The Initiatives Prince George project fits in perfectly with the development directions we are continually advancing."

Another key aspect of this project is the incorporation of the new Initiatives visual identity across all of the sites. Initiatives Prince George’s branding, developed by MarketPULSE, was launched in late October of 2002. Their brand promise is to be "In Step" with the business community, and "On Course" with a strategy for the future.

Fausto Mauro, Floatingrock co-owner, President / CEO: "Due to the total identity change Initiatives Prince George is undertaking, and their stronger emphasis on use of technology, we're very pleased to be recognized for our combination of strength in visual design and unsurpassed knowledge in the area of web development. We feel this makes Floatingrock uniquely suited for the job."

Results are geared towards dramatically improving the Internet presence of Initiatives Prince George, and positioning them to take full advantage of web-based business technologies in fulfillment of their mandate.

Their websites are scheduled for launch in the spring of 2003.  Watch for more details as this exciting project unfolds.
