Current design: http://goodsandservices.ca - there can be also seen functionality. All details about website's design attached with wireframes. Design: Please take a look at the attached file. The design i attached is fully corresponds what we want for Main page and Categories page. All needed to be done is to adapt this classifieds web site to our business categories. Please let me know if the designer will need some clarifications on that. Structure: Please take a look at www.scoot.co.uk. The solution within the inside of an actual directory is great. You are able to see all the companies at once and by clicking on the company’s gallery let’s say it expends. I will try to make a wire frame to attach. Also Filter option is great solution, read in the following points in more details. Visitors can fill out a designed form to find businesses within a certain mile radius by location. The user chooses the categories and fills in their contact information. Logo should be definitely redesigned and be interesting creative and unique. Category list on main page should show how many companies are registered and if any were added during 1 day to put it there somehow. Something like “Business Services " (32) +2 (a day) Search should be done only by keyword and the city (postal code). After search result return it should show in what category keyword was found with the ability to narrow the search by keyword in category. (Look ebay search results for reference) To make a menu Static (Kijiji) with the City Option as in www.kijiji.ca as well. Menu should consist of: Home( Categories), Add your business for free, My account, About us, etc. See wire frame attached as well. City (Toronto) will be shown by default, and can be changed any time. In addition, location can be narrowed or extended to other small cities, regions or provinces (filter). Compare Memberships page should be easier to read example: http://www.cityshopper.ca/pricing.php On the header of the page should be “Featured listingsâ€, which will rotate periodically, and filter down when a user goes to specific category. For example in “property category†there would be only property related featured listings on the header. Or the featured listings will be highlighted and at the top, and below them there will be free listings. I like the idea of filter http://www.scoot.co.uk/find/accountants-in-uk on the right hand side. With the filter user can change whether he/she wants to see businesses which could be sorted by Postal code/featured listings/reviews/specials/gallery/pdf (price list) to make search easier. I’d like to implement that idea on goodsandservices too. There should be some kind of a mark (updated within last 24 hours) showing that there are some changes in the business’s page (price list added, more pictures added, etc.) A very good example in the member’s page structure is: http://www.scoot.co.uk/find/accounting-activities-primarily-bookkeeping-in-uk. In addition to the page as it is now on goodsandservices there should be tabs on the top such as “Servicesâ€, “Galleryâ€, “Reviewsâ€, “Pricesâ€, “specialsâ€, “hoursâ€, and with ability to add additional tabs as needed as well as being able to filter pages for example pages with “paid referrals†and “special offers†only, such as http://www.scoot.co.uk/find/accounting-activities-primarily-bookkeeping-in-uk Also there should be Referral Fee added to the table underneath of “Book mark and share†$$$, by clicking on that client will see how much the business owner is ready to pay for the referral in a form of cash or gift certificate if business owner chooses to have this option on his/her page. If business owner is ready to pay referral fee than there should be a button refer a friend. Review feature should be more precise, rate few things for example “valueâ€, “priceâ€, “serviceâ€, “overall experience†etc. with the 5 stars. I liked the review feature at www.scoot.co.uk
