Game, set and match for PHPFox powered social network

Max Hastings, Head of Junior Tennis at the world famous Queens Club in London, wanted to provide the tennis community with their own social networking platform – one that would include all the functionality of Facebook to connect players and fans.

Max had tried numerous companies which promised to deliver the site, but each of these had ground to a halt and failed to complete the project. He asked Perceptant 101, the award winning website designers and web developers, based in Sheffield, to build a site that would include everything for an interactive tennis community, from breaking news, player Twitter feeds and video to tournament updates, live scores and training tips.

Perceptant 101 used the PHPFox social network platform to develop the Social Tennis Networking site, creating a unique theme for the community that fitted well with the client’s branding. It integrated news feeds from the ATP World Tour news site, as well as live scores for all the ATP World Tour tournaments and Twitter updates from players. Google Maps API was also integrated into the site, so members can search a world map to find other tennis fans and players, and arrange to meet up and play a match.

Perceptant 101 delivered the live site within three weeks of being contacted by Max, and it’s now working on more enhancements and marketing for the site.

Social Tennis Networking has already attracted a community of members from across the world, as well as drawing interest from retailers wanting to advertise on the network.
