The Challenge

The vision for SalsaHook.com consisted in creating a website that would serve for the promotion of the niche of salsa dancing and music. Event promotion (dates, times, and locations) would take a major precedence in its purpose, but important also was to achieve SalsaHook.com as a social network where it was the users who contributed the content to the site, which could allow it to be location specific and cover information in about as many cities as users were willing to share.

The Solution

A conceptualization for a dynamic social network where users could signup and add content to the site, such as events, articles, venue information, videos, photos, etc., was put in the works. -- As a sustainable social network, members of the site would have user panels and user profiles from which to network, but the main goal of the site remained the general promotion of salsa dancing and music, which could be sustained by the participation of members who were promoters, instructors, venue owners, or just salsa lovers who wanted to participate. A complex framework was created and tools such as Google Maps API were added to event and venue pages to allow users to easily gain driving directions to any location they wished, and the YouTube API which allowed users to link their youtube videos in salsahook.com, etc. There were many more scripts done to achieve the overall purpose and vision that had been attained during the planning process.

The Results

SalsaHook.com is truly the first website of its kind within the Salsa dancing and music community and global niche. It mainly serves, as it was conceptualized, the purpose of promoting events and venues where salsa events are happening and which users can attend. The database architecture is highly advanced in how it holds and links the sharing of information across different "geographical locations" and how it allows for a wide array of functionalities within a same site. SalsaHook.com has not received many marketing, but it's SEO optimized construction has helped it go from hundreds of hits to thousands, all on its own.
