Phase 2 of Little Diamond Models is Complete

Phew! It took about 4 months of hard work but we finally finished phase 2 of one of our favorite client’s websites: Little Diamond Models.

This is a huge website with a ton of great features. We started this project not even a year ago and it already sports a monthly visitor volume of nearly 20,000. What a success story!. The site soaks up nearly 2 GB of bandwidth each and every day, that’s a lot of downloading and uploading. This was up to 6 GB at one point….that a bigga pizza pie!

We think the best highlights were the casting call feature that allows boutiques to post calls to models to meet certain photo criteria. Pet and photographer bookings and we upgraded several modules to make them much faster.

So here we are, Tom Petty on the radio, pretzels spilled on the desk, a glass of Publix sweet tea, and we’re starting to plan out phase 3. Lots of good features for models, boutiques, pet models, photographers and visitors of all kinds. We plan on this taking nearly as long as phase 2 but good things come to those who wait. Little by little, the site grows and over time we come out with a hum-zinger of a website.
