Build a Website for a Cooking Network

Key Features: • Recipes A searchable directory of recipes split by genre, health indication, skill level, etc… Full recipe to show photos, ingredients, method, time, skill and health rating. All users should have the ability to submit a recipe for approval by the content team. Once approved the recipe would go-live across the site. • Directory A searchable directory with an A-Z of companies and retailers with multiple classifications by genre. Directory listing to display, photo, logo, 400 character description, key features bullet points, address, telephone, email form, website address (with link) and optional map (if member company decides to add this). Also for those retailer listings there would be a link to products they might have listed, with a search facility. Directory should be associated to a country, to start with we are looking at three main countries, USA, UK & Australia. So preference to the local listings should be given depending on the users location using IP tracking. • Shopping A searchable directory of products listed by those retailers that have uploaded a “product feed”. Products can be categorized into different genres, these are pre-determined by us. Price, Genre filtering should be offered to the side. On click through to the product a full size image should be displayed along with description (simple HTML allowed) and a link to purchase the item or more information, which will be displayed via a button. On click the retailer should be charged a pre-determined fee from a pre-paid account credit. If the retailer is out of credit the button will not be displayed and an alert should be sent to the retailers account informing them that a visit was made but the button was not displayed due to there being no credit available. Shopping should be associated to a country; to start with we are looking at three main countries, USA, UK & Australia. So preference to the local listings should be given depending on the users location using IP tracking. • News / Blog A simple article system displaying articles in date order. Articles to be tagged and comments allowed by registered users. Articles to contain an image, date, tag, title, main body text. Articles to be written only by some users and admin. • Other Considerations o Advertising Throughout the website there should be many options for advertising the retailers products where they link to recipes and news articles. So relevance and tagging is essential. o User Sign-up / Login A branded user area should fit seamlessly within the design and not a separate “dashboard” style login. Users will have the ability to change password, view comments, submit and review their own recipes, add a business listing, unsubscribe from the newsletter and add / manage news is they have the ability enabled by and admin. Admin area can look different if needed, but full control over News, Products / Feeds & directory listings (inc. Categories etc…) is required. o Payments Stripe or PayPal integration for payments for Premium Directory listings and retailer click throughs.
