GOTRIbal
One of the best parts of what we do is we get to feel like heroes on a regular basis. When Tanya from GOTRIbal (gotribalnow.com) came to us, her site was a mess. Her old site was disorganized and dysfunctional, and her users were dissatisfied and crying out for help. After a few meetings and lots of planning, we were ready to come to the rescue.
It’s All About Communication
At the core GOTRIbal is a social networking site for female athletes. In networking the most important aspect is communication. The whole website is built around that.
Communicating to an audience
One of the prominent features of visiting gotribalnow.com is the ability to get access to tips and advice from professionals. To facilitate that, we developed a special resources section to feature posts from select users (the resident experts).
Communicating with each other
GOTRIbal offers users the ability to express themselves in many ways. Blog posts, photos, and videos may be shared on their profiles, or users can participate in active discussions on the online forum or comment on almost any post on the website. Of course, not all conversations are public, nor should they be. Users can communicate using private messages or posting on each other’s profile page (which are only accessible to “friends”).
Superhuman Web Development
We used the Drupal content management system to rapidly build out the site. With a very large developer community and big names like the White House and Lifetime TV to its credit, Drupal was the perfect solution to address the needs of a growing social networking website. It’s like having your website backed by the work of thousands of people.
Always At Your Side
We pride ourselves on being available to support our clients when they need it. Gaslamp Media maintains accounts on the site to handle user support questions in the online forum, and we’re available by phone, email, or in-person for support.
“Thai, Dennis and the entire team that worked on the GOTRIbalnow.com site are not just developers, they are true professionals. They are a caring, customer-service focused, reliable, and responsive team. They repeatedly demonstrated care for my company’s best interests, taking great pains to both advise me on what is best (for UI and privacy issues) and help me make regular adjustments and tweaks to make sure the site served its purpose. Their focus on my needs always seemed to take precedent. A rare and valuable asset on a web development team. I will recommend them each and every time someone asks me who they should use.”
