building an aviation directory
On Wed, 18 Feb 2004 10:15:07 +0100, Martin Hotze
wrote in Message-Id: : Hello, I have a rather good aviation related domain available and as there are a couple of hundred visits a month to it I want to rebuild the site (the script is available and webspace is no problem *hehe*). the site will be an aviation only directory (mainly for airports) - the yahoo style (yeah, just what we needed, another directory ...). my question is: what is the best way to build the structure? sorted by state/country? by type? examples: - Americas - United States - Arizona - $airport1|2|3 - Americas - United States - Arizona - Phoenix - $airport1|2|3 - Business - Flight Training - Advanced Training - $CFII1|2|3 - Business - Online Shop - $shop1|2|3 For sure you don't care where the online shop is located, but you might not be very interested in a CFII from Florida when you live in California. how do you search? by region or by type? any other input? martin Why limit your users to a preset format? A form containing write-in or pull-down boxes for each field of the search (a la Landings airmans database) would let the user decide for himself what search criteria he wants. x-post, f-up set Oops |

I also search by airport name and/or identifier. I generally find it a pain to have to include the State in my search parameters, since sometimes I'm not sure what the State is.

I generally find it a pain to have to include the State in my search parameters, since sometimes I'm not sure what the State is. And sometimes the city is on the border of several states. Jose -- (for Email, make the obvious changes in my address) |
