1dea Design + Media Inc.

1dea Design + Media Inc. is a Canadian-owned branding, marketing and web development agency in Ontario, with offices in Kingston, Ottawa and Toronto. It builds brands and WordPress websites for associations, not-for-profits, government bodies, tourism operators and businesses, blending AI-assisted research with human-led strategy.

The agency was founded in 2005 and reports more than 20 years in business and over 14,000 projects completed. It is run by founder, president and creative director Karen Bonhomme and CEO and strategic director Trevor Trewartha, with account managers, designers, project managers and a development team that includes QA and web compliance staff. It describes itself as a partner rather than a vendor and offers pricing adjusted to different budgets.

• Website design and development: WordPress sites planned for user experience, accessibility, SEO and GEO, built on Elementor so staff can update them without a developer
• Branding and graphic design: brand identity systems, marketing campaigns and templates, plus a framework for managing the brand in-house
• WordPress website support: flat-rate care covering updates, backups, security monitoring and quick fixes
• Editable tools: systems clients can maintain in WordPress, Canva, Word and Google Docs
• Conversion planning: frameworks that turn visitor interest into action

Its project process runs from discovery and strategy through user experience and conversion planning, creative development, build and implementation, and quality assurance before launch. Featured work includes Spirits Canada, Planning for Canada, 1000 Islands Tourism and Naturally L&A. Clients listed on the site include Queen's, Limestone, Kinarm, Providence Care, the Canadian Dermatology Association and the Canadian Association of Emergency Physicians, with testimonials from Rockwell Commercial, The Manse Boutique Inn and the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada.

The company reports supporting more than 70 WordPress websites monthly and says it has received global, national and local awards (self-reported). A testimonial from 1000 Islands Tourism credits a focused digital ad campaign with tripling website traffic, generating 20,000 leads and building a 10,000-subscriber email list. Its stated values are excellence, unity and humility, transparency, pushing boundaries and building for long-term durability.
