Q: Why was the Atlanta Design Directory created?

A:  An Atlanta lady set out on a search to find a pool designer/ builder. The first stop was the yellow pages. Lots of pool builders were listed, some local, some out of state. This was informative and well organized. It was a comprehensive list, but she didn’t know which one to call. On the page, they all looked the same. She knew that no two businesses are the same. So asked some friends and was directed to find pool designers/builders on the internet. Through a search, she located a pool builder or two and found the sites most helpful. There were pictures of completed projects. She wanted more! She decided to broaden her search. But, page after page of search results did not reveal a satisfactory list. Some sites that promised to deliver a list of pool builders presented a form to be filled out with personal information and a list would be sent through email within 24 hours. These just were not what she was seeking. She wanted it to be comprehensive and wanted it now! She wanted a place where websites could be compared without a cumbersome search. From her experience, the Atlanta Design Directory was born and created for ALL Atlantans to locate the goods and services that they need for their home.
