We want to use Drupal to build a website for our global UFO research organization. The site will serve as our primary method of communicating with our members and the general public. It should provide for minimal advertising space.
The site will involve electronic commerce in two forms: first, members should be able to sign up for free memberships, but will be allowed to make purchases of premium memberships, order materials and make donations. Second, users will be able to purchase merchandise such as hats, t-shirts and other similar type products.
The site will include a number of interactive forms and will store submitted information in a MySQL database. There will be a need for some inital report screens, with ongoing opportunities for reporting development.
The site will also include the ability for users to submit photos, and video that will be displayed after approval on a profile page. The site will utilize other data warehousing sources (YouTube) to store large files.
The site will include blogging and discussion threads.
It will also include one advanced page that lists active content from user submissions both graphically and in text.
The phase I development will include the following pages: Home, User Registration, Registration Success/Error, About Us, Contact Us (Form), Incident Report (Form), User Profile Page (Blog / Discussion Board) with embedded YouTube/Social Media/Flickr links, Merchandise (E-Commerce), Donate (E-Commerce), Incident Database (Reports/Active data) and Press Releases.
The purchaser does have web experience and can assist with certain areas of development in order to save on cost.
