I already did the design. It is attached. We may add a keyword ability in the search as well.
The functionality would similar to treatmentcenters (DOT) com
Blogs would have social media sharing tools. Wordpress would be ideal.
The premier and featured spots can be bought on site so it will need payment tools.
URLs and site should be SEO friendly. URLs should have city and state in them if possible.
Articles will have social media sharing tools.
We will be selling the ability to be "highlighted" and when a search is made all "highlighted" listings come up first if their local area was choosen.
When clicked on a listing it will take them to a profile similar to this: [login to view URL] (DOT) com/demo2/listings/pure_cafe/ They will be able to pick the categories and subcategories they want to be linked to their profile.
A normal listing is free but featured, premier, and highlighted listings will be paid for.
I have the following scripts if it will help you: phplinkdirectory (DOT)com or enthrallweb (DOT) com/[login to view URL] but I don't have dedicated hosting and I am on linux hosting with mysql DB.
