The OC Flooring Project: From Rebrand to Digital Growth
OC Flooring approached us during a pivotal moment in their business. Previously operating under two brand names; Orleans Carpet and Eagleson Flooring, their biggest challenge was clarity in messaging and brand identity.
As Sylvain Brazeau, President & CEO of OC Flooring, explains:
“The biggest challenge for our business prior to rebranding would be just the clarity of our message. We operated with two different names… So rebranding under one name made everything easier for everyone involved.” – OC Flooring Testimonial
Our team worked closely with OC Flooring to unify the brand, sharpen the messaging, and design a website that clearly communicates their services to homeowners, builders, contractors, and insurance restoration clients.
Sylvain shares why they chose to partner with us:
“We decided to work with WSI Ottawa over other agencies because they felt very approachable. It was very genuine. They were very professional and it just felt like it was the right fit for us.” – OC Flooring Testimonial
For us, that alignment is everything. Strategy only works when there is trust and collaboration.
Strategic Development That Delivers Results
From day one, our focus was not just aesthetics, it was performance.
We took time to deeply understand the flooring industry, the competitive landscape in Ottawa, and OC Flooring’s long-term goals. According to Sylvain:
“WSI Ottawa understood our industry and our goals by asking us the right questions. We felt like they really listened and took our feedback to heart, and from there we were able to basically create a great website.” – OC Flooring Testimonial
The result? A website that not only looks exceptional, but performs.
Since launch, OC Flooring has seen measurable business impact:
“The results we’ve seen since the new website has launched is, we have a better online presence and we see that through the numbers. And our customers are also telling us that they found us online. So we have more customer walk-ins because of the website.” – OC Flooring Testimonial
In other words, the website isn’t just winning awards, it’s driving real-world revenue.
Ongoing Partnership & Performance Growth
At WSI eStrategies, a website launch is never the finish line, it’s the starting point.
We continue to support OC Flooring with digital marketing strategies, analytics tracking, SEO improvements, and ongoing optimizations. As Sylvain puts it:
“The WSI Ottawa team still supports us with our digital marketing, keeping our website current and also providing us with all the numbers and analytics so we know how the site is actually performing and it’s always trending up.” – OC Flooring Testimonial
This long-term approach is a core reason why our projects consistently perform, and why we continue to earn recognition such as this web marketing award Ottawa businesses can be proud of.
