Smart Media Consulting, LLC was selected to design and implement the Web site for an upcoming build of ABC’s hit TV show Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. The Little Rock Web development firm was selected by Lock and Key Productions and their selected local builder Woodhaven Homes, Inc. to create a Web site to provide information about the upcoming build and to recruit volunteers and donors to help with the project.

“We are thrilled to be part of this exciting project that will provide a brand new home to a deserving family in our area,” said Harper Grubbs, partner and Web developer of Smart Media Consulting. “This is an opportunity to make a difference in our community, and we’re proud to have been chosen to create the key communication element for this project.”

The Web site for the Greater Little Rock Extreme Makeover: Home Edition project is located at http://www.TheHouseJackBuilt.com/extreme and includes several Web 2.0 features such as a content management system, volunteer sign-up form, information about the family (once selected), news releases, visitor comments and more. During the build, the site will include a builder’s blog and photo gallery.

The Extreme Makeover: Home Edition television program features an intense one-week build that changes the life of a deserving family. Builders, individuals and volunteer groups donate their time and resources to work around the clock to build a home in less than a week. Five families in the Little Rock area are being considered to receive a life changing gift – a brand new home – and the recipient will be named soon. For more information on the project, and how you can help, please visit http://www.thehousejackbuilt.com/extreme.
