Jaymack Custom Homes.
Challenge:
Jaymack Custom Homes is an award winning custom homebuilder who designs and builds sophisticated and elegant estate residences. Recently winning the SAM award for ‘Best New Custom Home $1,500,000 - $1,999,999’ and with more than 20 years of experience in the industry, their reputation as one of Calgary’s top homebuilders has never been stronger.
Jaymack Custom Homes asked The Secret Sauce Factory to design and build an interactive map that is capable of indicating in which developments Jaymack Custom Homes are being built.
In addition to building the new interactive map, The Secret Sauce Factory was also asked to provide and manage regular website maintenance such as content updates, regular maintenance and web traffic analytics reports — allowing Jaymack Custom Homes to concentrate on building beautiful custom homes.
Solution:
The interactive map The Secret Sauce Factory was asked to create needed to be simple and easy to use, providing a direct channel through which site visitors would be able to locate areas where Jaymack Custom Homes were under construction. The points on the interactive map also needed to be updatable and fully integrated into their existing content managed website.
The Secret Sauce Factory presented multiple solutions for the interactive map, ranging from integration with Google Maps to a custom Flash application. Jaymack Custom Homes relied on The Secret Sauce Factory’s expertise in integrations, and in the end, chose the integration between their existing website CMS and Google Maps.
The Secret Sauce Factory’s rapid development model and agile project management style continues to allow Jaymack Custom Homes to easily manage all website updates, whenever and however they need them.
Results:
By combining Google Maps and Jaymack Custom Homes’ existing CMS system, The Secret Sauce Factory was able to provide an innovative integration of two technologies. Now, their easily managed interactive map allows visitors to quickly locate areas where new custom homes are being developed. The Secret Sauce Factory’s capacity to provide creative and innovative technologies continues to allow Jaymack Custom Homes to concentrate on what they do best — building beautiful custom homes.
