Details

Our company mandate is to construct fourplexes plus possible ADUs ( garden suites or laneway suites ) in the city of Toronto, to address the housing shortage and affordability. These can be either for rentals or condos, depending on each site's business case.


We have full branding and the website completed, and now focused on establishing a structure to increase the site exposure and tracking. In addition for phase two we will be adding a blog feature and other media strategies to advance our firm's presence as a leader in this new market.


The current site was built with Squarespace, but we are open to student's experience on alternatives to better meet our future needs. The current site is www.middlehouse.ca.


The project will involve several different steps for the students, including:

  • Researching different site-building tools and their associated advantages / disadvantages.
  • Conducting a needs analysis to determine which platform is most suitable.
  • Updating the website for better functionality, with our assistance in providing the content.
  • Providing training on updating and maintaining the website.
Deliverables

By the end of the project, students should demonstrate:

  • Understanding of website platform options
  • Identification of the most suitable platform
  • Update the website using the most suitable tool
  • Recommendations for website maintenance

Bonus steps would include:

  • Testing the website with users and making improvements based on user input

Final deliverables should include

  • A website prototype.
  • A final report.
Mentorship

Students will connect directly with us for mentorship throughout the project. We will be able to provide answers to questions such as:

  • Our current products and website design
  • Our customer and industry insights
  • Input on choices, problems or anything else the students might encounter.

Having had mentors of our own, we are firm believers in continuing the tradition.

About the company

Founded in 2003, EdTek provides an LMS software training solution and LMS Support Services to small and medium-sized organizations. For nearly 25 years, our founders have talked about how it takes more than eLearning software to achieve quality online courses and outcomes. They realized very early in the story that small and medium-sized organizations needed a partner dedicated to their specific requirements rather than just a software vendor.

EdTek's full-service, turn-key SaaS solution includes the learning management system, system monitoring and maintenance, free upgrades, instructor training, course development support, Technical Support for learners and staff, and a dedicated Client Service Consultant to help your staff run your online programs.

And, your LMS Library comes stocked with 340+ Soft Skills courses so your learners can enhance their personal and workplace development.

EdTek's "shared services"​ model works to split the cost of our premier eLearning solutions among a constantly growing group of training and education providers. This shared services or shared cost approach enables even the smallest organization to afford one of the best learning management systems and support packages available in the market today.

Our annual or pay-as-you-go pricing models ensure that you have flexible options and that our partners never pay for more services than they actually need or use. With this pricing model, our partners can draw a very tight box around their financial risk and better predict their future costs as they grow successful online training and education programs.
