Detroit is about to get another website all about, you guessed it, Detroit. Bill Stacy is getting ready to launch dodetroit.com next week as away of connecting people with the fun, exciting and positive things going on in the city.
"We wanted to create something that was just Detroit and portrayed it in a positive light," says Stacy, editor in chief of
dodetroit.com.
Stacey and six other people including freelancers and interns have been working on the website from the
Russell Industrial Center all summer. They plan to hold six launching parties with food, drink and live music all around the city when it launches next week.
The weekly newsletter will let people know what is going on, along with listing useful information about things like apartments, lofts, schools and libraries. Stacy plans to do this without having dodetroit.com overdose on advertising. The website will have two banner ads on the top and bottom of the site as a way of funding the operation.
"That's all," Stacy says. "It will never expand beyond that."
