The Problem
BlackLight is a project with big potential to make a huge difference but to launch they needed a Django development company to take on the challenges that come with this kind of business. The website that was needed for the task required a custom-coded Django framework to create the tools that make the resources accessible.
Attention is being brought to bear on Black-owned businesses and with good reason. So many small businesses are falling to the wayside in post COVID times, and none more so than those owned and operated by persons of color.
BlackLight is a comprehensive database of Black-owned businesses, their contacts, websites, and other business information, recommendations, and referrals for them. By creating a resource that puts all of this information in one place, businesses and communities otherwise overlooked can thrive through mutual support.
Our Solution
Knowing the importance of this project, the Idea Maker team went to work in partnership with the brilliant minds behind the BlackLight project. The collaboration built a website and comprehensive database that is constantly updated by the customized web Scrape Tool to pull information from various sources and put it at their users’ fingertips.

What We Did
Custom Coded Web Scrape Tool
Some scrape tools used for gathering website information can negatively affect your SEO, however, an ethically written scrape tool can be used to boost your business website to new markets. Idea Maker created a detailed scrape tool to pull information from sites all over the web and deposit the information in a usable database.
Database Viewer with Filter Features
The database that the scraper information lands in is built into a custom database dashboard with highly detailed filter features so you can find the right business for your needs. This dashboard also allows you to exclude specific businesses from your search based on certain criteria.
Search Features
In addition to the base filters on the database, there is also an integrated search feature on the project database. When you’re needing a specific business type, searching to see your options is more efficient than digging through the filtered results.

The team was very responsive and easy to work with. They are professional, talented, and experienced team. They were able to meet all our requirements.
Idea Maker is distinguished for their personalized collaboration and white glove services. The team is dependable and reliable, sticking to the project's plan, offering feedback, and pushing back on the right things.
The way they understand the requirements we present to them is fairly solid. Both in terms of bringing their own interpretation in nailing the requirements and their design sense. By the time we launched, I had gotten significantly more value from our collaboration than what we had discussed in the original specs.
This is a boutique development firm where the Founder is directly involved with the project and the primary contact. This is unlike many development firms where you are simply handed off to developers that are not stakeholders. This is an important distinction that results in much better project accountability.
I have never had a site like this built before. I felt that Idea Maker and Tom had built numerous sites like this, and they were pros.
Idea Maker's portfolio is what drew us in. Their design style was in alignment with what we were after. We had initial consultations with 3 companies that we had narrowed it down to. Once we had our initial meeting with Tom at Idea Maker we knew we had the right choice to make. Their communication style works well for us.
Their customer service is excellent — they’re incredibly accessible and available, which I appreciate. Furthermore, they have enough experience and bandwidth to fulfill all my needs. They’re one of the best vendors I’ve worked with.
