We set out to create a website that enhances visitors’ browsing experience, streamlines networking, supports educational programming, and seamlessly integrates a third-party member management system—all while connecting with legacy data infrastructure. Our team conducted an in-depth analysis of the previous site to map user pathways and identify critical functional requirements for programs and events.

Integrating a third-party membership platform can often feel like forcing puzzle pieces together, but we knew this connection needed to feel natural for HAVAN’s members. We started by sitting down with the HAVAN team to understand exactly what their members needed most – from browsing the member directory to registering for events and managing their memberships.

With this clarity, we carefully wove Membee’s essential features into the website’s fabric. Rather than simply dropping in code, we thoughtfully placed each function exactly where members would intuitively look for it. Think of it like designing a home – every feature needs to be both beautiful and functional, exactly where you’d expect to find it.

The final touch was ensuring the visual harmony between Membee’s features and HAVAN’s brand identity. We meticulously styled every element, from buttons to forms, to match HAVAN’s distinctive look. The result? A membership platform that feels less like a bolt-on feature and more like it was built specifically for HAVAN from the ground up.

With over 1,100 member companies responsible for building 65% of Vancouver’s homes, HAVAN represents the city’s most trusted and accomplished contractors, designers, and builders. To help homeowners and industry professionals connect with the right experts for their building and renovation projects, we developed a user-friendly member directory—featuring robust filters and geographic search capabilities. This makes it easy for visitors to find qualified professionals tailored to their needs and location.

We firmly believe that partnering with a HAVAN member is the smartest way to ensure your project is executed with the highest quality, safety, and professionalism standards.

Behind every successful association website is a team that needs to manage it efficiently. We built HAVAN’s administrative interface with this reality in mind, focusing on intuitive usability without sacrificing powerful features.

The dashboard presents essential information at a glance, with clear visuals and straightforward navigation that reduces training time for new team members. We implemented flexible permission controls that let HAVAN easily manage who can access what – from basic content updates to full administrative privileges.

Real-time preview capabilities and scheduled publishing options give administrators confidence in their content management, while streamlined workflows keep the site running smoothly.
