I have been a client of The Sinus Node for two years and I must say that they continue to exceed my expectations in every task and project they oversee.

In 2005, I sought to design a custom-built social community site to accompany my homepage, http://www.hearandplay.com/. After many bids and much consideration, The Sinus Node Company was hired to develop the entire project.

I was amazed at the professionalism and efficiency of the relationship. We remained in clear communication and there seemed to be constant progress daily with my project. After just a couple of weeks, I had the foundation of http://www.hearandplayzone.com/ fully built and ready to test.

Just the core community they built for me in 2005 has been worth everything I've paid them to-date, considering that other firms quoted me rates as much as 10 times higher for just a portion of the features I now enjoy. I also received constant support and whenever an issue arose with the site, it was resolved quickly and efficiently.

Communication is everything. One or more of their programmers was constantly in contact with me via messenger, e-mail, and even phone, when necessary. I was so impressed that I decided to continue to work with The Sinus Node to further develop my community after its initial core development.

With features like forums, member profiles, private messaging, commenting, "buddy" and "group" mail, friend-adding, groups, content centers, and more, I had everything I needed to roll out the initial launch of my brand new community!

To my surprise, the community immediately attracted its first 1,000 members in less than a week. I attribute this mainly to the viral-pulling features The Sinus Node developed for me.

For example, a member can create their own profile page and when other members leave comments & messages, they are e-mailed a "new message" alert. Furthermore, members can join each others' buddy list and create networks within the site. They are encouraged to invite their friends, which makes the site grow faster since the members are now "evangelists," spreading the word rather than detached visitors.

I have employed The Sinus Node at least a couple dozen times after the first development project and have realized substantial growth of my community features and membership. In fact, just 10 short months after the community's first phase launch, it has attracted over 40,000 members and is headed towards 6-figure membership at exponential rates!

Through related product placement and regular Google adsense revenue, the site has more than paid for itself and provides a very effective customer and subscriber-retention tool to keep people logged in daily.

   

 

While my main site, http://www.hearandplay.com/, receives over 1.5 million visitors and tens of millions of page views per year, our new community, http://www.hearandplayzone.com/, has managed to pull in a whopping 500,000 annual visitors, 7 million page views, and thousands of repeat log-ins from loyal members every single day. On my profile page alone, you'll find thousands of beautiful thank-you comments sharing how helpful the community is and how glad they are that I created such a place to network with thousands of musicians all around the world. This wouldn't have been possible without The Sinus Node and their programmers' expertise in this field.

I am proud to say that I'm a customer of The Sinus Node and continue to work with them to enhance the experience of my community members. Regularly, we are releasing upgrades that cause the site to become even more attractive and engaging for its thousands of members. Not only does The Sinus Node staff implement ideas that I originate but they also propose new functions to further boost the site's interactivity. This knowledge and input from well experienced developers is invaluable when it comes to creating core competencies and competitive advantages within our community!

We hope to continue to grow HearandPlayZone.com to hundreds of thousands or even millions of musicians by persistently implementing cutting-edge functionality, viral-building activities, and fun features that other sites lack.

Thanks The Sinus Node for helping to bring what was only a dream into reality and for helping me to make this brand-new community a massive success! I owe you immensely for what you continue to provide for my site!
