Youth Employment Services

YES (Youth Employment Services) leads the Canadian youth sector with innovative programs that empower disadvantaged and vulnerable youth to become self-sufficient contributing members of society.

Youth Employment Services is one of the most popular not-for-profit employment services offered here in Ontario. They approached us to completely re-design their existing website. We took a fresh blank slate approach with YES , carefully crafting a design vision using responsive and mobile-first best practices. The end result is a clean and modern design that provides the end-user an easy to navigate interface.

Employment Job Board

The existing job board that is established had many integrated dependencies with internal CRM and automation processes. The custom development had to be migrated to a modern platform following best practices in order to prioritise security and scalability with the new Wordpress system. Careful planning, thorough testing and coordination throughout the project was necessary in order to maintain the existing dependencies with these internal legacy systems at YES.

Custom Web Design

We design bespoke, responsive user interfaces from scratch in Figma—never relying on off-the-shelf templates or generic themes.

Our team develops scalable design systems, typography hierarchies, and mobile-first layouts tested across modern devices to deliver seamless user experiences for Toronto consumers and B2B buyers.

Responsive

Developing a website that is responsive is no longer a new requirement, its mandatory. We use industry standard tools and best practices to incorporate framework and scaffolding to ensure your website responds on the many different screen widths across many different mobile and tablet devices.

Gone are the days of a “mobile only” website. We will design your site for desktop, mobile, tablet, portrait and landscape viewing. And it will be beautiful!

Custom WordPress Development

Shift8 specializes in lightweight, enterprise WordPress engineering. We build handcrafted themes and custom Gutenberg blocks with zero bloated page builders (no Elementor or Divi).

Our code follows modern PHP standards, strict security hardening, and clean API integrations with platforms like Salesforce, HubSpot, and custom REST endpoints.
