Hello everyone!

I am working on my new web site and would like to ask you guys for some help. I am trying to figure out the web technologies needed to build a site for my new training division. Potential customers who access my site would be able to select from a ist of potential personal training consultants by viewing their profiles. My company would be the middle man/go between.

I am sure that some type of database technology would be involved - but I would like some more technical detail from those out there that can help me understand this better.

Thank you!

 

 

Yes, you would need to build a web application that connects your website to the profile database.

But really, there`s so many factors here ... and I`m not even sure what your question is ...

Hi,

I would think there is already a script/program to accomodate your needs. Here`s one example of a script the you can use to run a "freelance" website.

A search should present you with some alternatives.

Nhgnikole and Roland:

Appreciate your input. I know that my question wasn`t really clear - but I am definitely going to check out the scripting programs. This brings me a step closer.....

Thanks again.

 

Hi,

It seems like you are trying to build something similar to a site I have seen (can`t remember the name).  It was a site that was connecting baby sitters and the parents together.  Parents could see the baby sitters profile and contact them for services.

Based on our development experience a site like that could be built in an opensource CMS like Drupal or Joomla.

Hope this helps.

Good luck.

Hi Webster and thanks for your reply.

And - yes - I am looking to build a site similar to what you have described. I have heard of Joomla and will look into that.

Thanks again!

 

 

No problem, please let me know if you need anything else.

By the way Drupal (durpal.org) is better in terms of features then Joomla.

Best Regards.

I would like to talk to you. How can I contact you directly?

Thanks.

 

Joomla has a very strong community builder add on... I`d look into it.
There is a learning curve involved but IMHO Joomla has more potential than Drupal.

VirtualCPA - if you click on someone`s picture, you are taken to the profile. On the left, near the top, is a link to send them a message. You can contact someone that way.

I noticed you haven`t been here long - Welcome to SUN, btw!
