Programming, Video & Web Writing Services

Custom Programming

We use open-source programming languages extensively and have deep knowledge in the area of custom programming for the web. Database work lies at the core of the work we do for associations and we have integrated online databases with off-line systems for many clients.

We specialize in LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP), but can work in other languages as well. Our utlimate specialty is our ability to solve your organizational needs with effective, easy to use custom developed programs.

New! Video

We have expanded our video gear and are ramping up this service.

Video is the fastest growing online marketing tool, and for a very good reason. Check out the video on our homepage or some of our recent videos from our community websites, Stouffville Connects and CanadaOne.com for examples of our work. We can also provide live webcast streaming for your events.

We have in-house production capabilities for small-scale projects, which means that we can shoot, edit and produce videos for use online and in other formats. We can also convert existing videos for use online.

Web Writing

Since 1998 Biz-Zone has published CanadaOne.com®, one of Canada's leading small business websites.

Biz-Zone has done specialized writing work on government projects. We were hired to write short titles and descriptions to enhance user interest in a consumer portal maintained by the federal government. We also wrote two specialized guides for Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC): Your Guide to Renting a Home, a 171-page guide for landlords and tenants, and Guide to Cooperative Housing, a national guide to cooperative housing in Canada.

We also syndicated small business content and wrote custom pieces for Microsoft Canada's bCentral portals for a two year period.


Web Applications We Have Built

We have built over 70 web applications to help our clients provide services online. Here are some of our favourite examples.

Racetrack Points
Pulling live data every night from racetracks across Ontario, this application then shows the leading Standardbred Stallion based on points accumulated by all of his progeny - by sex and race class - in dynamic data charts on the Ontario Sires Stakes websites. (Race data available during the racing season.)

Online Advocacy Tool
During the past provincial election in Ontario we developed this advocacy module, which was designed to rally members and get key messages in front of politicians campaigning for election. (Module available for purchase.)

Online Recruiter
This full service recruiting tool allows employers to post jobs, manage candidates and conduct the entire hiring process online. Candidates can create resumes, track companies and apply for jobs. This module is currently in use on Stouffville Connects. (Module available for purchase.)
