Wildcat Helicopters

A few years ago, we had the pleasure of building the original website for Wildcat Helicopters. As their business evolved and their needs changed, we saw an exciting opportunity to revamp their online presence to better reflect their modern capabilities and attract new talent. We set out to create a fresh, dynamic website that would not only showcase Wildcat’s specialized fleet and services but also streamline their recruitment process. The result is a modern, user-friendly site that effectively supports Wildcat Helicopters’ goals and enhances their digital presence.

 

The Client

Wildcat Helicopters is a premier provider of helicopter services across Canada, the US, Australia, and more. Based in West Kelowna, Canada, they offer a range of services including helicopter firefighting, heli-skiing, Medi-Vac, search and rescue, and more. With a fleet specialized for firefighting, air rescue, and heli-skiing, and a team of experienced pilots and engineers, Wildcat Helicopters is dedicated to excellence in high-stakes aviation operations.

The Task

The primary objective of the website revamp was to attract new talent, specifically pilots and engineers, to fill various job positions. In addition to recruiting, Wildcat Helicopters sought a fresh, modern design to reflect their cutting-edge services and technology. The updated site needed to effectively showcase their fleet with dedicated pages for each helicopter, as well as feature specialized pages for the various services they offer.

The Results

The revamped website achieved its goal of streamlining the recruitment process. The new design quickly began capturing job applications and resumes, integrating them seamlessly into Wildcat Helicopters’ system. The site’s navigation was made intuitive and user-friendly, with smooth mobile responsiveness that ensured an excellent user experience across devices.

Key features of the new site included:

  • Custom Post Types: Developed for fleet, careers, and staff members to ensure tailored content management.
  • Custom Page Templates: Designed for fleet and services pages to provide a cohesive look and feel.
  • Header Video: A dynamic element on the homepage that captured attention and set the tone for the site.
  • Custom Animations & Parallax Effects: Enhanced visual appeal and engagement throughout the site

This successful collaboration with David Fenoulhet Design brought a contemporary, functional design to Wildcat Helicopters’ online presence, aligning with their modern brand and operational needs.

Communicative and professional

“Ben and the team at Wilson Creative were communicative and professional throughout the recent development of our company website. They made the necessary steps clear and kept a dialogue going so we knew where we were in the process. There were multiple opportunities to check in so we could ensure both teams were on the same page at each stage of development. Wilson Creative was able to build a website that features all the functions we required, and has modernized our online presence. This developed as our team worked with Ben to understand our business’s needs and our future goals for the company. Our new site is exactly what we need to not only show our clients what we are capable of but also help us attract professional employees to join our team.”
