Jason was very clear, very quick and very reasonably priced. All my fears of building a site and everyone's nightmare stories were put to rest. Jason put us at ease and his quick and creative talent was exciting and in no time we are up and running and in business.

Nuts & Bolts: , , , ,

The team of people at First Horse Publication came up with the idea of providing a site that would provide resources for trainers as well as help potential clients find horse trainers in their area. They partnered with code to translate their idea into a viable website that would be interactive, useful, and profitable. At the heart of the site is the horse trainer directory. Horse trainers are able to purchase an annual listing which includes their picture, contact information, and specialties. In turn, potential clients are able to locate a trainer by zip code proximity, browsing by state, or browsing by specialty.

From start to finish we worked closely with the clients to make their idea a reality. The project started with a brainstorming session that put meat on the bones of the idea. The next phase involved designing the layout and navigation for the site and finding stock photography that matched the client's vision for the look of the site. Then programming commenced and the functionality of the site was implemented using both existing Drupal modules and custom built modules. As the site neared completion code arranged hosting for the site, a credit card processor, Google Adsense, and Google AdWords. Finally, just before the site went live training was provided so that the clients could administer their site.
