N49 launches Aurivia.com

N49 is happy to launch Aurivia.com!

Aurivia is a templator, fabricator and installer of stone products operating in the Greater Toronto Area. They specialize in the manufacture and installation of granite, quartz, marble and solid surface counter tops, cladding, sills and more, for both commercial and residential applications. They approached N49 looking for a website that would better integrate their company branding and present a more professional, modern aesthetic to their clients. We accomplished this with a Power Site that is simple and clean, embodying a luxurious and contemporary feel.

Aurivia.com homepage

Aurivia.com features robust CMS designed to provide easy-to-use administrative control over important areas of the website. One such module is the home page products manager, a primary design element on the homepage. This allows site administrators to update the home page with the most recent product updates and news. Fresh, compelling homepage content is not only favourable for SEO, but also positively impacts the user experience.

Aurivia wanted to inspire and educate consumers of the diverse applications of stone. The product catalogue and idea gallery elements of the site accomplish this task by compiling a list of products, highlighting their properties and demonstrating examples of their use. This content is 100% updatable and utilizes our custom content management systems for ease of use and control.

Last but not least, Aurivia elected to take advantage of our Review Manager feature. Now their N49 reviews are ported automatically to their website and Facebook page! These extra features complete a beautiful website that will continue to bolster their reputation as industry leaders in the stone supply industry.

Smart phones, local search and social media have become the defining characteristics of the modern consumer. More than ever before consumers are empowered to make better decisions based on the experience of their peers. Business reviews, blogs, forums, tweets and “likes” are a new currency in an age of online commerce. Today’s infographic offers a great explanation of the Social, Local, Mobile (SoLoMo) consumer phenomenon.

Infographic week at N49

Infographics are a great way to present information to a broad audience. They help break down complex data sets into easy to interpret graphic charts. They’re colourful, fun, and way more interesting than a boring old spreadsheet. To demonstrate this we will feature a different infographic related to local search, reputation management and the importance of online reviews, each day this week.

Up first, the evolution of local search results and importance of local content.

N49 Interactive Inc. launches redesigned Bedsplus.ca!

When Adjustable Beds Plus approached N49 looking to modernize their website, we were excited to begin work. The finished product is a contemporary rebuild using modern best practices. It’s a slick and functional website that we’re proud to welcome to the family!


Beds Plus wanted a more contemporary, clean looking site optimized for the modern viewing experience. We accomplished this by widening the page and increasing the font size and colour contrast to create a more visually accessible aesthetic.

They also wanted to replace flash elements with more SEO friendly site structure that would provide control over their content. We accomplished this by creating two custom content management modules: a specials manager and product catalogue.

With this redesign, Adjustable Beds Plus have a competitive advantage over their competition. As the industry evolves so too will their site. With easy to use, intuitive content management systems, they have the power to adapt as quickly as their customers will. We truly enjoyed working on this project and wish them the best of luck in the future!

N49 Interactive Inc. Sells Flights.ca

Over the past decade, n49 Interactive has acquired a large and unique portfolio of generic .ca domain names focused on local search in Canada. We have worked hard to develop our network into a suite of sites that leverage our domains by incorporating social networking and consumer reviews.

Sites like Salons.ca, Dining.ca, Kitchens.ca and others, best illustrate what we do: provide relevant local content around many vertical markets. Unfortunately, we just can’t get around to developing all of the domains we own. In some cases a domain no longer fits into our local model and we make the decision to part ways with it. The funds derived from this process helps us to further develop and enhance the n49 network and it’s features. We are kicking things off with the sale of Flights.ca. While we hate to sell such a great domain, we know that it will be in good hands and will get developed into a great site by it’s new owners.

Over the next few weeks we will be selling many more great domains, so if you are interested, let us know! Any questions can be directed to Rick@n49.com. Here is a partial list of domains we are open to selling:

borrow.ca
