Hi all.
I need to pick your brains. I am investigating the feasibility of setting up a commercial directory website for the area I live in, with businesses paying an annual fee for inclusion. Part of my study is to see how such a site would be set up and maintained. To my way of thinking a simple HTML site with a home page linking to a seperate page for each category of business (e,g. Hairdressers, Car Mechanics, Bookmakers etc.) perhaps with sub-sections (Ladies Hairdressers, Men's Hairdressers etc.) containing lists of the businesses and incorporate a Site Search facility. I would also need an application form for businesses to join. Am I being too simplistic here? Has anyone any experience of a similar kind of website? Any suggestions as to sources for Forms and Search facilities? I can find a number of these on a Google search, but don't know which are reliable. Is there any way that, as businesses are added to a listing, they could be sorted in alphabetical order (though I guess that if I used an unordered list, this would not be too much of a problem)?
I have a reasonable and growing knowledge of HTML and CSS and I am not keen to get in to PHP etc.!
I know I am asking a lot, but any help would be much appreciated.
