How a Website Comes Together

Clay Parker Jones, of exitcreative, wrote an interesting blog post recently about a project he was working on for a couple of guys in Atlanta. The goal was to create a website that intelligently and efficiently catalogued the more than 11,000 barns and stables across the country. The result was RidingResource.com, a one-stop shop for equestrian info. (The site hasn't officially launched, but you can get updates on its progress through Twitter and Facebook)


Having never personally created a website (I've written copy for websites but haven't been extensively involved in design), I found the post incredibly interesting. Of particular note is Clay's strategic use of social media in getting the word out about the site.

Hey man, thanks for the post.

If you have any questions about any of it, holler! Or maybe leave a comment and we can continue the discussion there. Yet better, maybe we can do something collaborative about the right way to get a site up'n'running.

Thoughts?

Sounds good. I'll chat with my editors and see if we can't do some kind of featured piece on the creative process behind web design. In the meanwhile, nice job on the site. I hope it comes together well.
