Website for Schools

We have temporarily put up some basic tables on [login to view URL], this is an extremely basic outlay & we desire a completely new site. The new site will have a simple search on the main index page which would include a couple of our categories (like location by suburb/postcode, age group or denomination). A comprehensive/extended search (new link/page) for more refined results. Results pages will be developed from a database that we have obtained. The database of schools must be easily accessed, changed & added to by us. Schools in the results & searches can be saved (most common reason for site membership). Each school will also have their own independent page of results/information. The site will also include a news section where we can update & incorporate news stories from institutions and media sources (the main page will have an area for current news). Other pages (other than results pages) will include a news page with archives, a Parent info/help page, a Student info/help page, & an attached forum. As a business model the goal of this website is to have large traffic to the site with which we can then sell advertising space on. By providing the best and most substantial information to our target audience we intend to develop large quantities of traffic. Here are 2 admired sites of similar purpose: [login to view URL] Simple search with well presented tabulated results, of which you can sort according to the column category of your choice, and links to find out more information on each school (ie: every school has its individual information page). Overall layout appeals to us as it is very clean and simple to follow including light colors and choice of font, with menu options to both top & left side of page. [login to view URL] Simple color scheme & layout. Good search to right in index/main page, would probably have that towards to top of our page with news underneath & advertising space on length of the right hand side of page ## Deliverables 1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. 2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition, as follows?
