Halfslide Design is proud to announce that we will soon be offering a new service for sites looking to create or update a daily deal website. We are offering to create and customize a template-based daily deal site as well as host it for a flat fee of $50 per month. The templatized site would look and feel similar to Game Deal Daily. Each site created and managed by Halfslide Design would feature the following:

1. A clean, standards-based interface that is completely browser-compliant.
2. The ability to add/edit/delete/schedule products through an administrative interface.
3. An optional store that would allow that would allow the site owner to sell other products in addition to the current deal of the day.
4. If the optional store is used, we will integrate all products with Froogle and update their details (such as quantity, price, etc…) on a nightly basis so that Froogle always knows about your latest products.
5. Two rss feeds - One for listing the site with many of the deal of the day trackers like Cheapofeed.com.  The other rss feed is for visitors of your site to retrieve your latest deal through their own rss reader.
6. Payment integration with Paypal, Authorize.net, and/or Google Checkout
7. Order management through an administrative backend.
8. Customized blog.
9. FAQ, About Us, and Contact Us page.

Halfslide Design is offering a discount to the first ten sites that sign up for this service. If you are interested in having your site created or redesigned, please contact Peter.

The owners of deal a day golf recently came to me and asked me to completely redesign their daily deal site, Deal A Day Golf. Their old site had a very dark theme with lots of black and dark green which made it very tough to read. They were also having to do much more maintenance on the site than they really wanted to. I spent the next few weeks working with them to create their new site which has gone live in the recent weeks.

Their new site was built around the goal of being able to configure the site and let it run with very little attention. I provided them with an administrative interface that lets them manage their products, schedule products to run, and set many other options on the site such as page meta and even gave them a somewhat simple store in their Past Deals section.

The new site also incorporates payment integrations with Paypal, Google Checkout, and Authorize.net. Their previous site only allowed individuals to pay using Authorize.net. Providing Google and Paypal just gives their customers that much more freedom when choosing how to pay for their products. If you’ve never seen Deal A Day Golf, check out their site and send me feedback on how you like it.
