By: Kristin Muller ORC General Manager, Jeff McCarrol is enthusiastic about the launch: “This has been a much needed upgrade to our website. It was important to us to create a site that doesn’t just look good on a visual level, but also provides a genuine (and user-friendly) 90% of the photographs used on the site are original shots of ORC’s own members and staff—the management team prioritized the accurate portrayal of the lifestyle represented by the club and instructor and staff teams. In reality, the website represents only a portion of ORC’s efforts to improve its communication to members and other stakeholders. It is part of a large scale marketing and communications program that that been expanded to include the use of social media, effective use of internal communications channels, as well as distribution and promotion of opt-in RSS feeds as a means to improve communication. Work on the site is ongoing. There are more features to come, including an OR TV section that will give video tips on Tennis, Squash and fitness. Ontario Racquet Club worked with Toronto based developers Addrenaline Media to take the site from conceptualization to its now live user friendly and highly visual manifestation. Addrenaline President, Kyle Hosick had this to say about working with ORC to create the website: "The ORC website is one of the more feature-rich projects we’ve had a chance to work on. We’ve worked with hundreds of clients during our existence and our experience with the team at ORC was second-to-none. They are truly dedicated to providing the best experience for their members, whether online or at the facility. That focus was ever-present during the site development." Ongoing maintenance and management of the site is facilitated by the integration of a user friendly content management system—ensuring that accessible information will stay relevant and current. The site is now live at www.ontarioracquetclub.com. # # # Established in 1975, ORC is Canada's leading family health, wellness and sports club. Located on the Oakville/Mississauga border and covering over 150,000 square feet and 8.5 acres, ORC is so much more than a racquet club. It's a lifestyle! End
