I'm just wondering, what will I need to understand to do a site like this. Essentially someone has asked if I could do it and I obviously said no. However out of curiosity, I'm wondering if someone can break it down for me;

  • The said client wanted her business to login with emails and contact details to view / share properties listings. A way for her to be able to contact visitors with more business / properties of interest.
  • Be able to view pictures and details.
  • Easily updated / edited, preferably on the website.

What type of database / coding would be needed?
What type of protection can be used, as it's obviously clients data so protection is required.

On another note: I will be doing her photo shoot soon and she's still looking for someone capable of doing it. Anyone who is willing to take on this challenge, feel free to email me for more details.
 
HTML, CSS, AJAX, PHP, MySQL covers the tech that you would need.

As for protection, depends entirely on what information you are transferring, storing and how secure you want it to be. There are numerous security techniques for input and transfer.

You could reduce development time by using Wordpress and buying a theme. There are quite a few property ones. http://themeforest.net/searches?term=property&type=files

How would you make it work under Wordpress?
(This could be very cost effective for the client)

What about login? What other alternative are there?
 
Wordpress has registration features as standard. Then there is a register+ plugin that can enhance the details you take.

Did you take a look at those themes? What don't they contain functionality wise out of the box that she would need?
