New site concept: Spend
Date(s):
January, 2007 - August, 2007
Client:
Scripps Interactive Newspapers Group
As an employee of Scripps, Jay Small developed a working model for a retail marketplace site concept called Spend -- a project that had emerged through Scripps' Entrepreneur Fund.
Small's work included:
- Converting static Photoshop storyboards to working XHTML and CSS
- Installing and configuring Drupal 5 to manage the site
- Customizing Drupal themes and modules to provide all site functionality, including several views that had not been provided in storyboards
- Training site operators on use of the system
The project never launched to the public, but the company learned enough from it to develop and launch a later experiment, MySaleMail.com, which Small briefly outlined in a presentation in early 2008 at the America East conference.
