Question I am struggling with an issue now and at a cross roads. I crated a page that I’m about to make our new homepage. http://www.adszoom.com/adszoom-international-home-page-classified-regions/#top ( just the template not the domain name )
replacing http://www.adszoom.com/
There will be over 250 versions of the current http://www.adszoom.com/ one for each region. Example: alabama.adszoom.com This is a lot of work and I have explored ALL options including wp - multi site ecs.... external .css sheets I mean all options. I am trying to steer away from this above idea and replace it with this.
Instead of having 250 separate wp sites for the regions. Just have a gravity form waiting for them when they click a region example: form name Alabama/auburn .
1 form for each region.
the link from the regions page gos directly to this form.
Goal’s : cut down on user error and make it easier for searchers to find local stuff.
idea 2 that makes way more sense.
If I kept the current http://www.adszoom.com/ and placed http://www.adszoom.com/adszoom-international-home-page-classified-regions/#top
after the “ post new ad “ button,,, meaning that the flow would be like this. After they click “ post a new ad on http://www.adszoom.com/ it would then take them to http://www.adszoom.com/adszoom-international-home-page-classified-regions/#top
they would then be forced to pick there region ( that in the end matches perfectly the search ) and i would have 1 gravity form for each region. Region already filled in example:
form name: Alabama/auburn ( this is the area they will post )this way the poster will be forced to pick a region every time! this is important because If I leave it up to the poster to pick they always screw it up example: florida becomes Fl,fla,FLA or what ever and that makes it impossible to narrow it down for someone that just wants used stuff in there town got it?
the challenge is how would i then give the ability to the searcher to search just Alabama/auburn
got it? they don’t wanna see stuff in Ca if they live in florida! so what would i add to the current search tool bar we us or what would i replace it with and how would i create a drop down with the form names as ( the places regions/citys/states ) so the only results are the ones displayed off that form.
so the searches would be ether “all” like current. or there is an added drop down that will only pull data from the form selected.
thanks
ps i know i make stuff hard lol this is probably something easy im missing...
