Project Story

We began our support relationship with Interac back in 2018, assisting with their existing Joomla site. Our staff at the time worked on location due to various site access security issues. When the decision was made to move to WordPress, IDL Web assisted in building out various areas of the new website working in close contact with Interac web team.

Over the years IDL Web was hired to develop additional complete websites for the Interac Developer Portal as well as the Brand Resource Centre. We were provided with the visual designs via Figma and were in charge of the full site development, training and support.

In recent years, IDL Web was hired to resolve various AODA issues to ensure validation and certification. In 2025 we have been tasked to address various Google Page Speed issues which is part of Core Web Vitals scores for the main Interac site.
