Cybersocket.com Gets an Extreme Makeover

The Cybersocket website has a new streamlined look, with more interactive features, a brand new Webmaster resources section, improved navigation, a hand-picked search engine, and a full electronic version of the print magazine.

Cybersocket worked with Cubik Media on the initial redesign concept, and engaged the services of Bionic Pixels to implement the backend database.

“The old website was what we considered cutting edge design and function seven years ago and it served us very well for six years,” said Cybersocket co-founder Morgan Sommer. “It has been retired with honors. But in those years, our company and products evolved and the website was always having new components cobbled onto it. We needed a new design and architecture that would allow for modular additions and reflect the variety of resources that Cybersocket has developed over the past seven years.”

It’s now easier than ever to search for the site you want (or need!) among Cybersocket’s 8,000+ unique Web listings. And the hottest articles from Cybersocket’s nationally distributed print counterpart come alive with a click.

“We have created a site that is intended to ease and intensify the user experience and provide unobtrusive advertising/branding space for our sponsors,” continued Sommer. “The site now has five times the potential advertising space as the previous site. With this new design we will be able to roll out new additions and improvements while staying organized.”

Part of Cybersocket’s ongoing mission is to promote the gay and lesbian Internet industry, to help it thrive. The new Webmaster Resources section is for website developers, owners, marketing directors, content managers, and account managers. All the information these professionals need, from listings of the top affiliate programs to the lowdown on Cybersocket’s infamous gay Webmaster parties, is organized here. You’ll see why Cybersocket continues to be the Leader in Gay and Lesbian Online Information.

Cybersocket LLC, now in its sixth year of business, has continued to pioneer the forging of gay and lesbian website search tools into extremely useful publications. Continuing to introduce new products and services each year has led to their spectacular growth and expansion.

The company publishes Cybersocket.com, a search engine, Cybersocket: The Gay Net Directory, an annual guide with over 2,000 gay and lesbian site reviews, the printed Cybersocket Web Magazine, and the Cybersocket Newsletter, a biweekly e-newsletter targeting both Web professionals and Web surfers.

Cybersocket Web Magazine, in print since 1999, is the largest freely distributed gay and lesbian periodical keeping gay and lesbian Web surfers and webmasters up to date on the latest Web trends by featuring informative articles and new site reviews. With 70,000 copies printed per issue, the magazine is subscribed to worldwide and has a readership of over 200,000.
