Our contributions to GBS have helped it evolve into a remarkable social buying platform that’s utilized by many businesses worldwide. Along the way we’ve also designed and developed several GBS themes and custom built features for our clients.

Group Buying Site (GBS) offers premium WordPress themes and plugins to run your very own online daily deals website like Groupon or LivingSocial. We take great pride in the quality of our products and services to ensure that our software contains well-written code, that our designs are intuitive, and that customer service is top notch.

GBS makes it easy for you to get your very own online group buying business up and running in just a few hours. We leverage the power of WordPress as a content management system to allow GBS owners the ability to easily create and manage their daily deals through a user-friendly interface. Furthermore, because WordPress is so easy to use and intuitively designed, almost anyone can operate and deploy their own daily deals site using our GBS plugin/theme. Simply install our GBS plugin/theme, configure your theme’s/plugin’s options, create some deals, and launch your site.
GBS is the originator of the premium Group Buying Plugin and Group Buying Theme for WordPress. Some people may refer to it as the Groupon of WordPress. Our goal for GBS is to manufacture an easy to use collective buying system so that businesses and individuals can operate their own daily deals website. WordPress offers a well established and ever growing community of business owners that are always looking for new opportunities to monetize their websites. For them and many other aspiring entrepreneurs, GBS and WordPress are a perfect match. In contrast to shilling out thousands of dollars for software, or partnering with group buying platforms that take a majority of all your sales, why not launch your own group buying site using our out-of-the-box daily deals solution today?

The system allows for green project owners to crowd source by listing their projects as contests, communicating with bidders, approving designs and managing document handovers.

Mission

The mission of SecondProject is to create an online community in which designers of green innovation and managers developing small to large scale green projects can network to create solutions for green projects. These projects could be anything from retrofitting a car for bio-diesel to designing a green housing development. Our goal is to provide two things: 1) a community in which project managers can profile their projects to receive community feedback and designers can profile their own skills and work in order to network, and 2) a system through which project managers can run contests to receive design solutions for specific components of their projects. The managers will offer a reasonable prize and the necessary information, and designers will submit their best design solutions, according to the information provided, in order to compete for the prize. With these two components (the community and the contests), our mission is to create the go-to site for green development and innovation.
