Click image to launch the website
planetsurf.net, a web portal and directory for surfers established in 1996, came to us with a desire to greatly expand their services and tap into the new opportunities through Web 2.0.

The Goal
Our task was to create a vital and growing online community for surfers worldwide by adding member services and community features to the existing planetsurf.net website. The project included a complete redesign to give the website the flexibility to grow as services expanded, and launch features had to include forums, picture galleries, clubs and member information to attract new users and support other marketing efforts.

Our Solution
The major challenge with this site was integrating all the community features into an effective and clean design that provided very intuitive visitor navigation from the most basic to the richest levels of community interaction. With this in mind, we started with crafting the back-end solutions with the help of software from Ecreations Software. Once the back-end solutions started coming together, the design elements were refined to create a clean and appealing layout that gets visitors to all the major functions of the site within 2 clicks of the mouse. The important information is linked up-front, and visitors are encouraged to rearrange their homepage with content that is most useful to them.

planetsurf.net is a great example of an effective, Web 2.0 website that can grow and produce results for years to come.
