We've been running some sample apps using Coldfusion with Twilio, and.. how cool! Rather than bore you with code, I am just going to tell you what all it can do. First Twilio... Twilio allows developers to build applications that use the phone network to interact with people on landlines and cell phones all over the world. With just a few lines of code, we will have phones ringing. We can actually build applications that interact via text messages with a simple phone-number based API or our very own short code. Developers can now connect users across web browsers, mobile phones, tablets, and even traditional phones.

Why is this so cool? Because it allows us to use our existing web language and developer skills to build voice and SMS applications. And Twilio is a "pay as you go" communications platform, powerful and simple it let's us focus on what we do best. Leading companies like eBay, Intuit, and Salesforce have used web languages in tandem with Twilio's API to build industrial-strength voice and SMS solutions on the Twilio platform, launching the next generation of enterprise communication apps reliably and at scale.

How does it work? A user calls or sends an SMS to your Twilio phone number. Twilio receives the call or SMS and makes a request to the application. Your app receives that information and sends XML back to Twilio. Twilio executes those instructions and interacts with the user.

That's it in an nutshell! So think outside the box, save some money and let Webhelio work with you to leverage the power of the Twilio platform for your voice and SMS application needs.

We developed this community based website using a base of Joomla! and PHP with a MySQL database and then we married the whole thing with a Coldfusion based coupon management system that uses an SQL Server database. Our design started with a simple Joomla! template, and quickly transformed to the design and layout it is today with the help of some major customiztion work on our part to fit the clients needs. This website is really cool, it uses real world, enterprise level ingredients to form the foundation of a business/consumer e-commerce website. You won't want to miss this one especially if you live in Lee's Summit!

The Brief History... We formed the concept for Lee's Summit Deals in the late Fall of 2008. Not just a fly by night! Leessummitdeals.com is programmed to withstand the test of time, and we are committed to Lee's Summit. With the economy taking a down swing, our ideas were formed to cut business costs in the areas of printing and marketing, advertising and coupons. Watching the news, listening to researchers talk about the poor economy, we wanted to make a difference and not just sit back and take what was coming. Ideas were formed over the conservation of friendship, and our feeling was that if we can help in even the smallest way, then we would be doing our job to help boost the economy back on its feet.

You Can Help! Now we are asking for your help! Consumers, let the businesses know you care and appreciate their hard work by providing valuable feedback to them. Businesses, reward your customers and let them know of all the great services and deals your business has to offer. Everybody, interact with each other and share with your friends the great deals and information you find on Leessummitdeals.com!
