After years without a website, today Dreamsocket is finally launching its online presence. The reason: we have always wanted a platform to give back to the community and launch our ideas from. Of course, we threw in common info about us, our clients and what we are doing for those who want to get to know us. However, our focus was to build a site robust enough to share all of our knowledge, tools and future plans to enable those around us. We accomplished this by creating three comprehensive elements on the site: support, products and a user accounts.
SUPPORT
A lot of our work with clients and the community involves education, where we are trying to explain technologies, concepts or our own tools. This is because when you deal with specialized subjects without a knowledge base around it, you can’t come up with a proper solution. The more specialized a subject is, the harder to move the overall space forward. Our support section aims at creating a point of reference for ourselves, our clients and the community in general to address this. Whether you are building enterprise video applications with integrated ad systems or you want to understand Flash SEO, we want to help.
The support section covers both subject and tool specific information and is broken down into articles, forums, documentation with commenting, a bug tracker, and release notes. Everything is publicly available and will grow significantly over time as we along with the community add to it.
PRODUCTS
In the product section you can expect to find all our commercial and open source tools, frameworks and applications. Here we provide any general information you need to know before making a decision to use a product, including overviews, road maps, featured solutions, software requirements, licensing information and more. If you feel you want to know even more about a product or need a reference on how to use it, there is detailed documentation in our support section for every release.
For those purchasing commercial products, we have an integrated store and user account system. Within this system, purchases can be made with credit card or pay pal and are immediately available in your account for download along with all prior releases. Whether we are putting out open source or commercial products, you are using a professional software site that has the support you need.
USER ACCOUNTS
Since the site has so many user driven features, accounts play a big role. Whether you are using forums or downloading software, every single action you take is covered under a single login. You only need to login once to access any user based task on our site.
THANKS
Everyone involved with creating the site deserve a digital round of applause for all their hard work. Kudos to John Ferguson, who created the initial design during a lot of late night and Saturday sessions. Big thanks to Eric Strohl, who took the art direction, added a bit of twist and carried it out for the entire site. Finally and most importantly, Chad Fuller who programmed everything. The site really is his baby and wouldn’t have happened without him.
