Website designed in PHP with the following aspects (website will incorporate social networking and online shopping): - Social networking section with user profiles and networks. - Shopping section (which can only be accessed by a user who has registered and has a profile) with merchants listed in categories, with each merchant "home page" containing certain information about this merchant and a voucher print function or link to merchant's website. Shopping section will also have monthly competitions etc.) - CMS to allow merchants to load their own content and also enable us to manage these merchants. - Stats section which incorporates all aspects of the site as well as individual merchant pages. - Website theme needs to be easily modifiable to enable multiple themed versions of the site with separate user accounts and merchants. ## Deliverables The product will be sold to corporate companies as a employee benefit solution as well as other people who would then have to pay for the service via a payment gateway. Each company will have their own branded duplicate of the site on a different url. For example [login to view URL] or [login to view URL] In other words /alex will not be connected to /didata with regards to users and/or merchant offerings. The Merchants will not physically sell their products on the site, they will usually provide a discount on any of their products, this will be done via either a tracking link through to the merchant website OR the user will have the ability to print out a discount voucher which can then be used within any physical store for that merchant OR the user will just fill in an enquiry form which gets sent to our call centre to handle. **Social Networking Section:** PROFILE - View - Edit - Personal information: basic, contact, education, personal preferences - Status updates - Photos- upload LIFTCLUB - Latest liftclub offers - Latest liftclub requests - Add an advert - Terms & conditions CALENDAR - Company event reminder - Company event posting - Birthday event reminder-Birthday event posting **Online Shopping Section:** MERCHANT CATEGORY - Listing of merchants via category, for example Airlines, Health and Lifestyle etc. when clicking on a certain category the next page must display all merchants within that category and then each merchant must click through to the merchant "Home Page" - User must also be able to seach for a spesific merchant in this section MERCHANT "HOME PAGE" - Information regarding merchant, blurb, discount offering, section for product images etc. - 3 Types of merchants, Printable Voucher, Tracking Link, Online Enquiry **Content Management Section:** MERCHANTS - Merchants must have the ability to also have an account (this account will differ from the normal user account as the merchant must only have access to his page) which will then enable them to upload their content themselves - Content listed as in above MERCHANT HOME PAGE section.
