Opengarage Idea – Alumni Site built using wordpress and providing a hosted solution

No Comments

I just read a project description on rentacoder.com site from where we get bulk of our work.

 

We need a website for alumni( php & mysql). Alumni will sign up and each one will have tools to use like individual page with his/herprofile, invite members, wink them etc.

We are expecting 15 batches are going to register (each batch has50 students) from 1994-2014. Therefore while registering on this website. Youneed to put them in the batch wise database. You can use the criteria forregistration such as year of pass/batch and place of study along with other info.Each profile will have one page with photo upload option.

·Afterlogin…they should be able to see only the profile of their batchments. But noother profile.

Ex: A is a student of 2000. When helogs in, he should be able to see only 2000 batch students and can invite, sendmassage, wink them or add them.

 

I have been trying to find a good low-cost/free alumni script but seems like there aren’t out there or maybe I haven’t tried hard enough. But this doesn’t make the idea of having a out-of-the-box set of themes/plugins built for wordpress to create an alumni site in a jiffy. Apart from selling the theme/plugins or monetising it with other things, the alumni site itself can be provided as a hosted solution so that people can just purchase/signup with their domain and have a working alumni site including hosting.  I am not sure how much big this market is but it seems to be good idea nonetheless. I am thinking of collecting 2-3 member team and get this idea a concrete shape in coming few months. If you are interested to provide suggestions or help us out just put up a comment and maybe we can work out something.
