OH! Media

What OH! Media does

OH! Media Inc. is a Regina, Saskatchewan-based full-service web development and design agency operating as a division of Phoenix Group. Founded in 2006, the firm employs 10 specialists spanning front-end development, accessibility, design, SEO/SEM, digital buying, and videography, and has served 170+ clients across Canada over approximately 19 years. The company builds custom responsive websites for government bodies (including the Government of Saskatchewan, Crown corporations, municipalities), non-profits, and corporate enterprises in sectors such as manufacturing, agriculture, healthcare, tourism, and telecommunications.

The firm's core technology stack is a proprietary content management system called OH! CMS, which powers the back-end of all client websites and is designed for client-side ease of use. Development is performed in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and WAI-ARIA, with full WCAG 2.1 Level AA conformance. E-commerce capabilities are delivered through an official Shopify partnership for retail use cases and custom integrations with Stripe, PayPal, PaySafe, Moneris, and Bambora for bespoke payment flows. Complementary tooling includes Google Analytics, Hotjar, MailChimp, Google Workspace, and the WAVE accessibility tool. OH! Media does not maintain websites it did not build, which reinforces recurring relationships.

The business model is project-based professional services with quote-driven, multi-year pricing. Revenue streams include one-time website development and design, branding and content services, SEO/SEM and digital marketing engagements, e-commerce build-outs, and recurring revenue from VPS hosting with a 99.9% uptime guarantee and ongoing training and support. Go-to-market is direct sales via the company website, email, and phone (306-546-2118), with a dedicated project manager assigned to each engagement from kick-off through launch.
