We have built a ready-to-use business listing & review site (like yelp), customizable to your needs and risk-free! You can view the live application at any time, use it, evaluate it, and if it fills your needs we can proceed with customization.
You can contact us to discuss more details about the application as well as to give you a link where you can evaluate it.
What you can customize within the current proposal:
1. Categories / subcategories / tags
2. Location
3. Custom rating criteria for each category
4. Images (e.g. logo, home page)
(additional customization is possible as a separate project)
