Expanding a Listing Site to have Membership, Forums in order to match users who can help each other with knowledge about the town they have to, or are thinking of moving to.
- English
I have a mostly built website using crocoblock. In addition to the listing capabilities it has, I need a membership function and forums. It is a site that helps people trying to pick a town to retire to. I have about 50 towns, set up much like you might set up a real estate listing site, but instead of properties, I have towns.
I also want to let members who already live in each town communicate by text or forum with on the pluses and minuses of each town to the people who are considering that town. I thought I could use a review plugin, but I have tried JetReviews, then tried another WPplugin call 'site reviews' and neither allow for thar kind of specificity. I thought I could create a more customized option by building a form (an extended userprofile?(jetformbuilder), and link the submissions to a custom post type (User Town Reviews) and its metafields. And then display those submissions by each town, and each user.
I doubt if I can build this by myself. I have built the rest of the site. Can you comment on the design and, if appropriate, quote how much this would be. (I am a retired artist and this is a hobby project....so quite low budget) What I would REALLY like is an ongoing text mentoring relationship after an initial Zoom call to see if language, working style etc are a good fit.
