Project Description:
We need a website developed on a CMS such as WordPress, Joomla!, DotNet Nuke, etc., that will be
used as the hub for a professional organization to allow people to sign up and pay for memberships,
communicate information to members, etc.
Here is an example of a site we like: http://areaa.org/ however the site is slow loading and incorporates
Flash, which I don't want to use, because we want the site to be both standards and platform compliant.
Here are their specifications:

For the Online Membership Application, Education Calendar, Event Calendar & Dues/Invoices sections
they all need to have access to make a payment for both Member & Nonmember pricing.
On our backend we need to hold the member contact information and have them listed as members so
they get the correct billing on events & education. Nonmembers should be able to create a Nonmember
profile.
Member Profiles can have the following – Photo, Logo, Contact Information, Bio and link to their
webpage. When they are in the Member Section we would like them to be able to send messages to
another Member through the system.
We will want the ability to upload images & video in the ‘In the News’ section.
We would like to not show the email but have a contact page where they fill out their information and
send blindly to the member.
We would like to have some areas for advertising space. We would like to have less scrolling then the
AAREA site and with a much cleaner and stylish look.
The site would need to be easily administrated via the web browser, which is why we want it developed
on something like WordPress or Joomla!
