Website designed in PHP with the following aspects (website will incorporate social networking and online shopping): - Social networking section with user profiles and networks. - Shopping section (which can only be accessed by a user who has registered and has a profile) with merchants listed in categories, with each merchant "home page" containing certain information about this merchant and a voucher print function or link to merchant's website. Shopping section will also have monthly competitions etc.) - CMS to allow merchants to load their own content and also enable us to manage these merchants. - Stats section which incorporates all aspects of the site as well as individual merchant pages. - Website theme needs to be easily modifiable to enable multiple themed versions of the site with separate user accounts and merchants. ## Deliverables The product will be sold to corporate companies as a employee benefit solution as well as other people who would then have to pay for the service via a payment gateway.
