Local Business & Services Directory

I'm aiming to create an engaging, user-friendly directory website for local businesses, services, and items. Users should be able to log in via social media (Facebook and Google), contribute by listing their own entities, and interact through a comprehensive review system. Key Features: 1. User Authentication: The platform should implement simple and secure social media login options. 2. Review System: A Google-like review system where users can comment, rate, and review listed entities. 3. User Contribution: Encourage user participation by allowing them to list their own businesses, services, and items. 4. Multimedia Reviews: Users should have the option to upload photos with their comments and reviews. 5. Search Functionality: The directory website should have an effective search engine that prioritizes the highest ranking businesses. The website should be not only functional but also visually appealing, simple, and enjoyable to use. Ideally, I am looking for a freelancer with: - Expertise in website development, particularly in creating interactive platforms. - Experience with implementing social media logins and review systems. - Capability to design a user-friendly interface. - Knowledge in SEO and search engine optimization for websites. The directory will encompass a wide range of entities including: - Restaurants and Cafes - Retail Stores - Home Services - Government Offices - Service Providers (like insurance companies) - Miscellaneous Items (like electronics, cars, toys, etc.) In terms of search filters, I would like to include: - By category - By location - By rating - By search word If you have the required skills and experience, I would love to hear from you.
