Working almost exclusively with organizations in the adventure and tourism industries, VentureWeb’s clients include local and international brands such as Santa Cruz Bicycles, Genuine Guide Gear, Sea to Sky Gondola, Banff & Lake Louise Tourism and Cervelo Cycles. Their clients really value VentureWeb’s collaborative approach, world class standards and true understanding of their businesses.
The VentureWeb team members all have colourful and varied backgrounds. VentureWeb’s principal, Jim Morris, was a rafting and outdoor guide (i.e. a professional dirtbag) before establishing VentureWeb. Meanwhile, the lead developer, Olly, was a snowboard instructor at Whistler prior to making the switch to coding; the UX/frontend developer, Roger, was an ACMG ski and rock guide; Rosara, their content strategist, raced mountain bikes professionally; and Jeremy, the marketing director, was heavily involved in the early development of Whistler Mountain Bike Park – and they’re just a couple stories from VentureWeb’s 15-strong team.
