In the fall of 2007, HBCWeb moved from downtown winnipeg into a new office space, located on the most popular strip in the city, Corydon Avenue. The building is comprised of two houses that had been built together, into one. Before taking ownership, the building was used as a wedding dress shop and bridal boutique. It featured wall-to-wall carpet, with big chandeliers hanging everywhere and mirrors everywhere. Now obviously this wasn't the ideal setup to spawn creativity, so the company founders went to work. Carpet was ripped out, replaced by hardwoods, walls were put up and painted, and the building was transformed into a seriously cool place to work in everyday.

Integrating an e-commerce site with an airline reservation system is no small feat, but hbcweb made it look easy. From initial development of our website, to updates and special projects, we rely on hbcweb, and they always get it done on time and on budget. Of the hundreds of vendors we work with, they're one of the best.
I have been dealing with HBCWeb for over one year on my various internet sites. I have found them to be very knowledgable, accomodating, communicative and their services are reasonably priced and work produced on time. Rob Carling has made it a pleasure doing business with HBCweb.
Rob Carling and the HBC team were a sincere pleasure to work with. Redesigning our site was a major initiative for us and I know we made the right decision by going with HBCWeb. Their deep experience with travel sites, exceptional client service and design capabilities all provided for a successful outcome to our redesign initiative.
I really appreciate all of your hard work on this project. I am very proud of the product before us. Thanks for being able to translate my thoughts into a tangible design. And most of all, thanks for being good at what you do! Looking at your portfolio only says so much; Witnessing firsthand your mastery of web design gives me better understanding and a much greater respect for what you do. I have been extremely impressed with your level of expertise and professionalism throughout this process.
While building my business, I could not have imagined how crutial a website would possibly be. I did my research and recieved multiple bids from dozens of potential website companies. I chose HBCWeb.com in the end because of their endless resourses, the quality of their existing websites and the personability of their staff. From the inital contact, Web Development Manager Rob Carling was professional and was able to answer my questions and concerns efficantly and with great knowledge of the field.
Throughout the actual production of my site RoundersNetwork.com, HBCWeb.com's staff was there to hold my hand every step of the way. While I completly believe in my business model, I am not versed on the technical sides of web design/production. I couldn't have imagined how much work goes into making a website. Rob, Wes and the rest of my production team were completely at my disposal, making sure I understood what was going on and how each step is completed.
As I look forward to the future I have complete confidence in HBCWeb.com and what they can do for my business ventures. I have already began working with them on building my next website.
