nmvfAm considering wordpress as platform for a new business, but unsure whether wp and plugs-in will enable me to do what I need the site to do. Aside from basic stuff that I know wp can do, below are some of the more advanced features I need the site to do. Any views on whether possible in wp and any help on which plug-ins are really appreciated.
Essentially the site is a forum for people to sell specialised consultancy services via skype (providers) to another group of people (buyers). I need a site that contains and features:
1. a 'Linkedin-like' directory with people and their skills
2. To enable providers to update a personal calendar with time slots of when they are available
3. Ability to book people for a session, ensuring to get time zones right (so that someone in Hong Kong kan book someone in Amsterdam and they turn up the same time)
4. A dashboard feature for providers to see their bookings and past business made
5. A feature to enable provider and buyer to log-in for their previously booked session and confirm the session has started, thereby triggering payment
6. Feature to enable multiple buyers using the site under one corporate code/deal and therefore billing
7. Ability to link an iphone app into the site so that a buyers can A. search on providers and B. update info that appears in his profile on the site.
Above in a bit in short but hope it makes sense and that wordpress can do this. Thanks in advance.
