Project Details:
Looking for local and free classifieds site, something similar to [login to view URL] and [login to view URL]
Any person can sign-in for free and post for free. Buyers can lookup ads by categories not regions or cities and it’s all free. My money is generated by featured ads only. Database to host all clients’ info and items for sale is MySQL. Clients’ usernames should be their email addresses and no two usernames should have the same account (email address). The sign in process should automatically generate and send an email to the each new user and users should be able to change their password whenever. Only sellers or posters should have usernames and not buyers. The free classified site should be categorized like this:

There should be a column on the left for all featured ads. The search feature should be on top-right corner. There should be the following main sections, but not limited to: Post Ad, Contact Us, Search and Home.
Each person should be able to post up to 4 pictures. No matter how large or big the picture that is being posted, the pic should be minimized to a standard resolution and size (i.e. 640x480 or less). All pics should follow a standard posted size. Content description of each item should not exceed 2 pages. As an admin for this site myself, I will be looking and monitoring posted ads regularly and get notified of each new or updated one. Therefore, I should be able to delete unnecessary and unwanted ads accordingly.
Above are the main guidelines to this website. Nevertheless, if anything comes up during the project design, then will be discussed separately.
