Colonnade Security Inc. (Since 2006)

Evolving Media & Design Inc. has partnered with Colonnade Security Inc.—a leading Ottawa-area security firm owned by Carl Waddell—since the company’s founding in 2006. We collaborated on the initial design and development of their professional website, tailoring it to showcase their smart security packages, customer testimonials, and Alarm.com dealership. Over the years, we’ve provided ongoing updates, maintenance, and reliable Canadian hosting to ensure seamless performance and security.

As technology evolved, so did the site: In 2014, embracing a mobility-first philosophy, we redesigned the website with new features for modern users. In 2017, we added the CSI Journal—a dedicated section to position Carl as the go-to expert in residential and commercial security alarm systems and video surveillance. Then, in 2020 amid the pandemic, we made further enhancements to both the website and the CSI Journal, improving article discoverability and overall user enjoyment.
 
This nearly two-decade relationship exemplifies our commitment to long-term client success, delivering a user-friendly online presence that supports Colonnade’s reputation for exceptional service in Eastern Ontario.

Proven Results: Steady Growth and Strong Engagement in 2025

In 2025 alone, the Colonnade Security Inc. website attracted over 16,000 unique visitors and more than 21,000 total visits, averaging 1,366 unique visitors and 1,787 visits per month. Visitors explored deeply, viewing an average of 5.4 pages per visit—a clear sign of meaningful engagement with services, packages, and the expert insights in the CSI Journal.
These consistent, organic traffic numbers reflect the enduring value of a well-maintained, strategically evolved website: a reliable lead generator and authority builder for a trusted local security provider since 2006.
