Beltsville, Maryland (PRWEB) January 20, 2008 -- Clark Turner Signature Homes recently selected Merrick Towle Communications (MTC) to develop a dynamic website, www.CTExtremeDream.com , and oversee the marketing program to support the builder's involvement in this weekend's episode of the ABC-TV program "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition." The episode "Luther Family" is scheduled to air this Sunday, January 20, 2007.

MTC dedicated over 180 hours to the CTExtremeDream.com website. With over 12,000 photographs and several days' worth of information and updates to sift through, MTC's marketing and digital teams gained Extreme Makeover: Home Edition's approval of the site's contents and kept the site up-to-date while providing the media and the community with daily information during the event. The website attracted over 64,000 unique visitors during the October 2007 build, and that number is expected to double when the show airs this weekend.

Clark Turner Signature Homes of Belcamp, Maryland, managed the entire construction project, bringing together more than 1,500 volunteer contractors and trades people to build a new home and therapeutic horse riding facility for the Luther family of Port Deposit, Maryland. Work on the massive construction project took place between October 14 and October 21, 2007.
