Job Type:
PHP, Website Design, MySQL
Description:
 For the past 3 days I have been looking for an off-site, impartial, 3rd party
organization to host our website ratings. What I've been able to find are 5
star sites that mostly concentrate on site ranking by traffic, back links, and
other irrelevant stats. We are looking for something similar to eBay Feedback
so that our customers can report about their experience dealing with us. When a
new customer is thinking about purchasing from us, they MAY be more comfortable
after reading our feedback. Hosting ones own feedback is of little benefit
because it can be manufactured to say anything.

I've found what I'm looking for in the eBay Feedback, Yahoo Shopping Ratings,
Cnet Reviews, Epinions, and a host of other sites like them but you have to
either list your products with them, or create a product feed to get rated.

What I'd like is a website created with a Dreamweaver template, written in PHP
with a MySQL database. On the homepage, it will:

1. List the mission of the website. (impartial ratings)
2. Present a directory that a customer can drill down to find a merchant for a
type of product they are looking for and view its ratings.
3. Provide a link for merchants to find/create their profile.
4. Provide a link for a customer to find/rate a merchant.

The site will be created in phases. I will create the Dreamweaver template.
You will create they dynamic content pages. The first phase will include the 4
features above and:

1. The rating system will be similar to those sites listed above.
2. A merchant can create an online profile and be notified when someone leaves
feedback. Place a link in the company profile for merchants to create/edit
their company profile and copy their link code. Before allowing a person to
save changes to a company profile, an email posted on the website will have to
validate the changes.
3. The merchant can respond to feedback.
4. A small graphical icon/link that a merchant can place on their website. The
icon/link will display a logo and the merchant's rating. When clicked, it will
open to the merchant's profile on the site where the visitor can read reviews
and post feedback.
5. Before someone posts feedback they are required to create an account and have
their email validated, IP address recorded, address given compared to IP
geographical region. Record other relevant data and perform other relevant
identity checks.
6. When a customer posts feedback for a merchant, an email will be sent to the
customers email address on file that has to be validated before the feedback
becomes public.
7. Do not allow someone to leave feedback more than once for a merchant in a
specified timeframe.
8. To be able to prevent (wishful thinking) merchants from giving negative
feedback to their competition, do not allow vendors to post feedback. Possibly
track the IP address that merchants use to create/edit their profile and then
disallow them from creating a customer account. Store the time that the
merchant account was created or last edited. Store the time that
feedback/ratings are left. This way, times can be compared and feedback removed
if fraud is suspected.
9. All relevant variables will either be stored in the database or in an
includes file. All variables will be documented.
10. All code documented.

Project ends here, but must plan ahead for features in phase two.

Phase two:

1. The directory will be pre-populated with many of the Internets top merchants.
2. A way for a merchant to display a portion of his site feedback and ratings on
his site, then a more link that opens their page on the site.
3. Find a way to distinguish between the feedback from someone who made a
purchase, from someone who did not.
4. An administrator back end.
5. Use of language filter to prevent obscene language.
6. Create ways to prevent fraudulent feedback/reviews.
7. Implement tracking so that when the logo is shown on a merchant website, it
is counted.
