Pulling Out the Big Guns
January 28, 2010
An interview with Brad Parscale, owner of Parscale Media, and Michael Hahn, owner of HCC Development, is currently featured in the Showcase section of the ExpressionEngine website. EE is the CMS (content management system) of choice at Parscale Media, due to its scalability and flexibility in development and empowering clients to manage their own websites.
Leslie Camacho, the President of EllisLab, creators of EE, was gracious enough to grant me a mini interview on the expanse of their product and how they chose Parscale’s work.
To give you an idea of how big a deal this is, Leslie shared that there are over 110,000 registered members at ExpressionEngine. What does this mean? It means there’s a lot of freakin’ people developing websites using their product and Parscale Media is pret-ty darn good at it.
So how exactly did they choose a Parscale site to be showcased? According to Leslie, “We've wanted to showcase a well-done commerce focused site for a while. We had a lot of options to consider but when we saw the extent of Dury's Gun Shop we knew that was the one to go with. When you start thinking through the complexities of putting a Gun Shop online you begin to get an inkling of the task involved and its great seeing how EE was up to the challenge.”
This speaks to the capability of the product but as for its effectiveness he says, “I think that really shows through in what can be accomplished with EE in the hands of a pro and Dury's Gun Shop is an excellent example of that.”
For the third time in five months Parscale Media has been nationally recognized for various aspects of web development within the industry, twice for www.durysguns.com. The Dury’s website also won the first annual FoxEE “Best Site” competition, held by HCC Development in December.
Not too shabby for a very humbled web marketing firm from San Antonio.
