The Challenge
Explorers Connect came to DeepBlueSky looking for an agency to help them transform their static website into an interactive, thriving online social community for Explorers throughout the world. Check out the site at Explorers Connect.
Due to anticipated growth the team at Explorers needed a platform that would be able to scale quickly and effectively in order to meet their changing demands.
Expert Consultancy
Over the course of a few weeks DeepBlueSky worked with the team at Explorers in order to help them agree a specification which met their needs in terms of both budget and business goals. This expert consultancy proved to be invaluable to the team at Explorers and ensured the final website was delivered on spec and to a strict budget.
The brief was to produce a social platform for explorers and adventurers of any skill level, providing news on adventures, expeditions, professional explorers and local groups. The members of the website are then able to follow the different items on the website to receive regular updates via their personal news stream and email updates.
What we delivered
Having agreed a specification, the team at Deep Blue Sky rebuilt the entire Explorers Connect website from the ground up using the latest version of Deep Blue Sky's Spirit Framework; a development platform that can integrate Content Management, eCommerce, CRM and email marketing.
Fully integrated with social media, the site allows quick sign up via Facebook or Twitter ensuring that the team at Explorers can maximise their influence in the global market. Our web development team constructed a unique database that allows for multiple item types that have inherent qualities, such as following and commenting. Each member of the site can add new posts, follow items that they are interested in, and interact and discuss with other members by commenting on posts.
