Orlando, Florida's Golf Media Partners and Stevens Media have been working together since 2004, following a recommendation of Sam's skills from GolfZoo.com. Initially, the goal was to redesign GMP's existing golf school and golf travel websites, including golftravelinfo.com, golfschoolinfo.com and ultimategolfschool.com. When the dust settled, Sam had re-launched six new websites, each of which can be updated by non-technical staff via easy-to-use content management systems.
Within the year, another eight websites were launched to promote the various locations of the Advantage Golf School. Concurrently, an intranet site was developed to help manage the company's digital assets. The intranet now includes a document management system, a web calendar and a documentation website.
In 2005, Stevens Media custom designed and developed a golf school reservation management system for GMP, featuring WYSIWYG content creation, automated rate calculations and a client response system. New features are currently being added to this system and the product will re-launch in January 2007.
Another large project completed over 2005-2006 for GMP was the development of an extensive network of parked domains: small websites featuring in-house syndicated content and advertising parked on one of the hundreds of GMP-owned domain names. A single source of content was setup at golfsyndication.com; RSS is used to push content channels out to the network. A custom implementation of Amazon Web Services is also integrated throughout the network to present relevant products from Amazon's catalog, further monetizing the company's domain portfolio.
Stevens Media greatly appreciates the opportunity to continue working with Golf Media Partners on the on-going development of their golf network.
