I need to publish a site (like yahoo) with categories and subcategories, a banner on top, and content management. a search field for a database i'll provide structure. user login and session. hits counting. a full history of searched terms. full log of time, date, ip origin, country origin of querys and hits. weekly (or user configurable) delivery of stats. # of searches that lead to this company's add. user login to update his company's info. The complete idea is to put a directory online, and my clients be able to update it's information. sequence: homepage search field -> results page (1 of n pages..." counter) -> template page of the company's info, if the client has uploaded pictures of it's products, a link to catalog. also, i need to to be able to put dinamic content on index, so it is attractive for the surfers to come back. also, a scrolling news section. all the content to come from mysql. and admin's data update screens.
## Deliverables
1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. ((((2) Installation package that will install the software (in ready-to-run condition) on the platform(s) specified in this bid request.)))) i think it will be no necesary. 3) Complete ownership and distribution copyrights to all work purchased. So perhaps the maintenance can be done inhouse.
## Platform
As this this will be hosted on the usual web hosting sites (pay sites), and since it's to be extendend after the initial deployment,
**Linux+PHP+mySQL** are a definetelly a must. Perhaps after consolidation, my company is to put an owned server and then moved all in this server..
