Bigfoot - Nova Scotia's Original

Philip Wall, Director of Finance - Marketing Co-ordinator for Bigfoot Systems® called LuckyDuck because, plain and simple, the Bigfoot website had some problems. We looked over the site, made our recommendations, and got the go-ahead.

Bigfoot's plastic, pre-engineered footing forms are used with construction tubes. Dependable, versatile and built to last, Bigfoot delivers quality results fast. Bigfoot - the Original - is an innovative, award-winning product that works to save time, money and aggravation, whether you're a do-it-yourselfer, contractor or factory owner.

Meeting or exceeding building codes across North America, Bigfoot is manufactured from recycled high-density polyethylene (HDPE). It is used not only as a pier footing, but also acts as an anchor to prevent uplift in areas subject to high-velocity winds.

LuckyDuck is proud to say Bigfoot was designed, and is manufactured, right here in Nova Scotia!

Captain Wayne Walters of Bluenose II called on us for a new website earlier in the year. It was a labour of love for LuckyDuck - the last time Allan had worked on Nova Scotia's Sailing Ambassador was as a shipwright during a refit. I've always had an emotional connection to both Bluenose and Bluenose II.

Adding to the project was tracking down photos by Maurice Crosby, Sherman Hines, John Knickle and W.R. MacAskill. As well, LuckyDuck took a series of photos of the crew and Lunenburg waterfront and interviewed Captain Walters for the shore crew page.

Each summer, Bluenose II gives public cruises and travels to special events near and far proudly personifying "History under sail!" Stories of Lunenburg's Original Bluenose and Captain Angus Walters have enthralled generations of Atlantic Canadians. As the undefeated Queen of the North Atlantic, she was the world's most famous Nova Scotian fishing schooner earning a place of legend in our hearts and history books.

Web design testimonial from Captain Wayne Walters

"Why work with someone without proven results? Most webmasters don't know how to sell and turn your site into an "extension" of your operation - LuckyDuck does. Most webmasters are more concerned with image other than results. LuckyDuck does a beautiful job, while actually getting results! You can have an awesome site, but who really cares, if no one sees it?

"LuckyDuck web design knows how to create the web strategies, design features, and content to draw an audience to your site and keep them coming back for more. It may sound like I am a part owner with my unabashed enthusiasm. I'm not, but I know what works for us. Thank you Allan and Jodie."

Ken Havinga of Blue Sapphire Cabinetry says good cabinetry, whether it be kitchens, built-ins or side pieces needs to be functional. "Less is more. Integration into the clients' home is very important.

"The challenge I work for is combining elements of form, function and durability while keeping it affordable and accessible. A piece should be created to be as relevant tomorrow as it is today."

Ken strives to lessen his carbon footprint by using methods and materials to fulfill that goal. He recommends and uses organic finishes of linseed oil, beeswax and/or natural resins and materials obtained from sustainable forestry approved suppliers.

Web design testimonial from Ken Havinga

"To be competitive today a website seems almost mandatory. When choosing someone to design a site for my growing cabinetry business, I hoped to find a web-designer who could articulate my woodworking philosophies and services, and begin to build an identifiable brand.

"Jodie Turner and LuckyDuck Web Design exceeded my expectations! Jodie made the process for building my site a pleasure. Efficient, professional, timely and fun are words that I would use to describe Jodie. Her easy going nature, her creativity and expansive knowledge of web-design and promotion proved invaluable to launching my site.

"The project was completed quickly, hassle-free and resulted in the successful launch of a web-site that I can build upon as my business surely will as a result of Jodie's efforts!

"Thank you Jodie! Cheers!"
