The Company

Sound design bids is a sound design crowd source web page where people in need of audio can submit contracts for sound designers to bid on by uploading mp3’s.

The requirements

The web page had to be built in a programming language and to make use of databases to store information. Mp3’s needed to be played in flash so that people would have a harder time stealing them.
The page also called for a very clean user friendly look where content could change based on information from the database.

The Approach

Giant Spheres created a php and mysql driven site. The page makes extensive use of tables populated by the database to display jobs, users and mp3 bids.
Users can comment on bids, create a profile and message each other through the web page. There is also use of php mail function to notify users when a new job or bid has been placed.
Some marketing features include a current listing rss feed of available jobs for users to subscribe to, a twitter feed, a forum, a blog and more.

The Future

Future plans for the site include more online marketing, smoother content creation, slicker user controls ect.
