Cycling from coast to coast and sharing online

Tim Keates was referred to us by a great friend of LogicSpot. His request was a bit different to the norm – so it got our creative and technical juices flowing before we’d even started. Tim wanted to deliver a website and blog that would very easily plan and record a cycle ride he was undertaking for charity and be able to share that with his friends, co-workers, sponsors and press.

Tim also wanted to get this done in 4 days.

Oh, and Tim wanted to be able to setup and maintain the Google Maps himself but had no technical knowledge whatsoever.

And Tim also wanted to be able to blog during the journey from his Blackberry onto the website.

So not much to deliver then. But, as I said, we like requests that are a bit different and rose to the challenge.

CMS, map integration, Blackberry blogging

We created a WordPress website for Tim and set about coming up with a simple, effective design for him.

We then got to work on how the maps could be integrated with WordPress – all the plugins we found for integrating WordPress with Google Maps were not cutting the mustard – so we wrote our own php plugin, tested it pretty quickly and implemented it onto his site.

We then put together a sample Google Map for him under a new Google account and gave him access and us access to it so we could train and support him both before and during the cycle journey.

The Blackberry blogging was nice and simple to deliver.

And Tim was ready and raring to go about half a day before he had to pack his bag and get on his bike.

A one-off development for a wonderful cycle ride that was a complete success.

Thanks, Tim for giving us the opportunity to help you make a difference.

Testimonial

My recommendation for Mark is simple -

His contribution to my brand has been absolutely pivotal -That is it.

Without his powerful web design and support our first event may have failed to launch. Through the start-up period he contributed to an incredibly successful campaign. We are now on our second event together.

He has assisted me to distill my eclectic thought process and given me hints & tips to guide me. In meetings his personal communication skills are a joy. I come off a call feeling cool, calm and collected. I feel we are aligned with what needs to happen & by when. There is always forward motion.

I have no hesitation in recommending Mark at the highest level as a charismatic leader in web business, and as a gentleman, out to do good in the world as a whole.”
