The concept of the site is simple.
On the front main page, there will be a site logo/name at top
Underneath that there needs to be either a flash/or if it can be done without flash that would be better for SEO, version of a map of the US.
Something similar to this ... [login to view URL]
On this map, it will be interactive. You will see listings (small dots or stars) on each city within each state. When the visitor hovers over the listing they will be able to see a small description of that Service Provider, with a short description.
Upon clicking that description it will take them to page for that service provider with a listing for that Service provider, that also shows some images of the provider.
Administrative control for the site admin:
Needs to have a way to
a) enter the service provider listings, and upload images
b) charge the service provider a monthly fee to be listed.
c) option to not charge the service provider a monthly fee to be listed.
*** Only the site admin can create provider listings.
d) on the site there should be a link to email the admin to be able to be listed in the site. (Also with instructions on how to cancel their listing)
e) Will just take paypal for subscription listings, should be a signup page for that.
