Hello all
I need a program/site similar to [login to view URL], please make sure you are familiar with Facebook and what it can do before making your bid. I dont want an exact clone but I need its basic functionality and abilities. The major difference is going to be that this program will focus on baseball players and people who are interested in school baseball.
There are four main features of the site:
1) User profile
2) Research Section
3) Shopping through retailers and our own products
4) Admin Additions and special features
Details
1) as a user, you create your account – which we'll call the player bio. Also have the option to register as a non-player. To get registered, the user will input at a minimum their name, level (high school, college, NA), school, hometown. Additionally, they will have the option to input height, weight, age, glove of choice, bat of choice, shoes of choice, batting gloves of choice. Player bios will also include paragraphs about them- could be anything from personal stats, accomplishments, awards, etc.
2) users can add friends to their “team”. In doing so, they can send messages to their friends, but have links available to their friends team sites via their profile. The intent is to track friends results without having to go to multiple sites.
3) Also when people register, they can upload photos and videos. To do so, the photos need to be linked with a school. That way then parents or players want to see all the photos for their team, it's in one place. With the photos, they can purchase the photos through our site but it's sent to a photo provider such as snapfish. We will receive a commission for this.
4) The site will also have links for parents and kids to search schools. They can search a variety of options. For example – they can search all baseball programs in a particular state. Results can be shown by division (DI,DII, etc). from here, there will be links to the schools sites to research academics, athletics, tuition, etc. Need to set up a database for all the schools.
5) When kids upload their videos, they can send an email to any coach or recruiter and let them know that a video of them taking batting practice is on this site for them to view. This will work 2 ways – one being the players can actively contact multiple coaches without them sending multiple videos to a bunch of coaches. Two – this can get coaches on the site and can save many hours of recruiting.
6) Users can also receive alerts for products of the week. Products of the week are basically products the site will highlight for a week. Advertising rates will be paid by the retailer or the manufacturer
7) Users will also be able to shop through various retail outlets through our site. We will receive a commission when users buy through us from the retailers. So we will need a way to add retailers and their products to our site and be able to manage the retailers and keep track of sales.
8) Site will also feature articles about various topics and allow users to ask questions about approaches at the plate, fundamentals, etc.
9) Live blogs for all users to log onto and discuss baseball topics
10) The admin can add additional photos, advertisements, hot topics, special sections.
11) E-commerce with shopping cart options.
