ABOUT Forest Online

Forest Online is a part of Forest Computers and has been a trusted Winnipeg business partner since 1995.

After working together with Crosbie Design, we now have started our own website design department and have created a new team in partnership with Ingrid de Oude from Blue Snow Imaging. She brings a fresh approach with a focus on imagery, modern design, easy-to-read text and a creative way to make your business shine, even when it rains….or snows. 

WHY CHOOSE Forest Online
Experienced developers

Our team has been active in website design dating back to the late 1990s but is following the latest webdesign developments and trends.

Copy writing

If you don’t know what to write, or even say about your business or organization, we can help you find your voice. We use words that are meaningful and avoid marketing lingo. 

Focus on imagery

We know how powerful images are. We offer unique imagery and can help you with the process involved in getting the best possible images on your website. A great photo can say more than words.

Yes, we offer in-house hosting. We can offer a true one-stop shopping experience.

Winnipeg-Based

HEAD DEVELOPER

Ingrid de Oude has been involved with professional website design since 1999. She started as an office manager and main tech support person at an Internet provider, webhost and webdesign firm and in a matter of no time she was also involved in designing websites and sales.  

In 2004 she spread her wings and started her own website design and photography business, Blue Snow Imaging, in the Thunder Bay, Ontario area. That way she could combine her website design skills with her life-long passions: photography and writing.

With a degree in Educational Psychology she knows a thing or two about how people read and remember information and keeps that in mind in all aspects of the development of a website.

While Ingrid started by hand-coding websites in HTML, she now works with WordPress.  Her commitment to her clients and personal approach never changed. Several clients have been with her since the start of Blue Snow Imaging and she has designed several websites for each of them in that time frame. 

In 2020 she moved to the Winnipeg area, where she continued working for her existing client base, but also managed to secure new clients in Manitoba, despite the lock-down and being totally new to the area. 
That and especially the quality of her work didn’t stay unnoticed.

Forest On-line Marketing Solutions was looking for a new head website developer and Ingrid was happy to get noticed and grow her Winnipeg and area client base further. 

I very much appreciate the trust and the exciting opportunities this partnership with Forest Online Marketing Solutions brings me. I suddenly am standing on Portage Avenue in downtown Winnipeg, taking pictures for a new client. While I still feel a strong connection with rural businesses and organizations, I feel I am now reaching my full potential, while staying close to who I am and what I stand for.
Being part of a bigger team that  helps pave the way to grow Forest On-line Marketing Solutions to its full potential is very rewarding.”

OUR SERVICES

Our services, together with the services that Forest Computers is offering, makes us a one-stop shop for many businesses in Manitoba and throughout Canada. 

We develop websites that blow the competition out of the water….that is at least what we aim for. 
Website development is typically in WordPress and showcases your business or organization honestly but confidently. We have the experience to write copy with minimal input and understand how powerful images can be when used in the right way. We are patient and friendly and love to work with people even if they feel insecure about their internet presence. 

Ah….the power of high-quality photography. Photos can draw you in, help build trust and make reading a website a whole lot more fun. Some readers will more easily remember what they have read if an image gets presented that illustrates the written words. That is why just a pretty picture won’t be good enough to us. The words will have to support the imagery so it serves a purpose and blends in beautifully. 

Would you like a logo or business cards? A decal for your vehicle perhaps? We can help you with all kinds of marketing materials. 
Please discuss what you have in mind and if we can’t do it, we most likely will find someone who can! 

We offer hosting services starting at $20 per month. Your website will be locally hosted on our own server. We don’t resell services from a third party. 

Security, experience and personal service makes us stand out. 

Through our twin business, Forest Computers, we can offer you all the possible IT services you can think of. If you need a network or a better internet connection in a remote location, special equipment for a school or a better way to deal with sensitive data, let us know and we will connect you with the proper person at Forest Computers!
