PinkShield Redesign Live!

pink thumb candyCano Coatings came to Blue Ocean looking for a fresh and vibrant new design for their website, showcasing their amazing Mike Holmes (Holmes on Homes) endorsed protective coating, Pink Shield. Blue Ocean delivered beyond expectations with a dynamic new 'responsive' design and a renewed site that is computer, tablet and mobile friendly. To learn more about what responsive design is, go to our Calgary web design page.

Since 2001, Cano Coatings has been an industry leader manufacturing high-end acrylic coatings for the building industry. In 2009, Cano used their in-house expertise to formulate a protective coating that could be used to reduce the spread of flame spread and the threat of mildew and weather damage resulting from moisture exposure.

When developing this formula, the company also wanted to find a way to differentiate the paint colour from the competition while also supporting a worthy charitable cause. Cano Coatings recognized an opportunity to support the Canadian Breast Research Foundation (Prairies/NWT) with a pink colour tint and donation of $3.00 per retail gallon sold. The colour pink helped establish a visual uniqueness for PinkShield but more importantly it demonstrated the company's commitment to raise funds for breast cancer research, education and awareness.
