Zolabid.com is a national online services directory. Consumers come to the website looking for a service provider who can handle the job they are looking to complete. On the site they can find a reputable service provider directly or post their project and let numerous service providers bid on their project. Consumer can post pictures and detail of their project and correspond with service provider online to find the one just right for their needs.
The client was looking to create an online directory of Service Providers from scratch.
The Solution
The resulting website allows the site owner to manage account and user settings from within an online admin portal. Service Providers can manage their listings, purchase upgraded listings, banner ads, bid on consumer projects, correspond with Consumers via their dashboard and create photo galleries of their past work. Consumers can search an expansive directory of suitable Service Providers. Consumers can manage their bids, post projects and related images, rate service providers, post their projects and request/receive targeted project bids.
This website was completely custom built from the ground up, including a Content Management System (CMS) framework enabling the client to easily manage their website's content in-house and avoid ongoing maintenance costs. Once the website was complete Think Tank Designs created customized manuals that detailed how to make the specific changes the client needed cutting out the need for ongoing maintenance costs.
