Need help in redesigning my pet friendly travel booking site.

    I have a pet-friendly travel site called: FetchFriendly.com
    Powered by Priceline and for the past 2 years I have done nothing with it, not even advertising but somehow I've made $58 from 3 order which isn't much but shows there could be a demand.

    I came across this one site I really liked and wanted a similar layout so that I could add more dog related content. The site is: officialpethotels.com and I want a layout like that.

    To get a better idea of what I want to add please refer to the below link and imagine if my site had a layout like that for each state: http://officialpethotels.com/us/az/phoenix/

    State Page:
    On each city under the map area and to the right of the hotels there will be user submitted and reviewed listings these sections will be arranged by top ratings including:
    Doggie Daycares
    Dog Walking Services
    Animal Shelters
    Dog Parks
    Dog Clinics
    Dog Meetup groups powered by meetup.com
    State specific forum. - Buy, sell, trade, adoption for dog and items
    and a section at the bottom showing state specific dogs for adoptions based in that area.

    Users can submit listing for services under their state and even pay to have it featured and highlighted.


    Home Page
    The homepage aside for having featured travel deals, will also automatically pick-up the location of the user and have these features:

    Local dogs for Adoptions
    Local Meetup Groups based on dog lovers powered by meetup.com
    Local/National Dog News
    Latest Blog Reviews Preview
    Dog Care Tips
    Donation Meeter for a cause
    Featured members dog of the day.
    Poll
    And a forum based on the location automatically detected. - Buy, sell, trade, adoption for dog and items

    Checkout will have a round-up for donation feature and a percentage of every sales goes to the charity.

    Anyway that's the model I'd like to develop then start marketing it. I already like the style of fetchfriendly.com if anything I'll refresh it just a little. So no worries about it looking like the other site.

    I just really wanted to make this site not only a booking resource but a learning resource and a way to raise money and save dogs. It's more of a passion.

    I also wanted to see if this was possible to be based on Wordpress or some kind of CMS so later on I can edit or tweak things. As far as budget goes I don't have a lot but what do you think would be needed?

    Thank you to all.
