The platform described is a reverse-engineered version similar to a well-known content sharing site, designed specifically for professional designers or design enthusiasts to share and discover content easily. It retains familiar features such as shouts, sharing stories, and displaying friends who voted on a story, along with additional functionalities. This platform is integrated with social media tools on a popular sharing service.
For both webmasters and readers, several tools are provided, including a bookmarklet for easy content submission, a voting/submission button for website integration, and a WordPress plugin available in the official repository. Webmasters can also optimize submissions using meta tags and follow established standards for default images or thumbnails.
The current owner, a freelancer, is looking to sell the platform due to an increase in freelance work, which leaves them with insufficient time to further develop the project. The platform is not currently generating significant revenue due to the lack of a strategic revenue plan. It does, however, incorporate AdSense on story pages 30 days after submission.
The platform operates using PHP and MySQL, with a VPS being recommended for hosting, although a basic hosting plan may suffice. The sale will include the transfer of all related domains, Photoshop files, a Twitter account that updates with new frontpage stories, a WordPress plugin, and all source files. Traffic has been verified with a popular analytics service.
