What’s the big idea?

A potential client, Tim Jones contacted us to help build a social community. Tim is a highly intelligent consultant, providing expertise to the Department of Defense in support of operations and new innovative technologies. Big ideas is what Tim Does. This time, he brought his creativity to the social community space.

His idea is to build a social community around something he’s crazy about. Sports. The social community will allow sports fans to talk trash and join forces with other fans. Tim has a clear vision for the project. He has already outlined the website navigation in Microsoft Word and built preliminary wireframes or skeletons for many of the main website pages.

After digging into Tim’s big idea, I began drafting a Website Blueprint.
