Willing to pay for a searchable Internet Database

Looking to redesign The Actors Directory (http://www.tad.co.uk) database and would be grateful for all quotes and detailed questions you would like to fire at me. This service was initially established as a subscription based service some time ago, but proved to costly and uneconomical to maintain. The planned redesign has come together with the recent gain of new funds and strategies for development.

The new service will be completely free and run automatically without much maintenance any UK registered actor will add their details into the TAD database using comprehensive application forms for their details. There should also be the facility for inclusion of pictures, audio and video although these will be at cost due to hosting issues. There should also be a facility for searching the info on the actors as per the original design including the different fields listed. Once a search has been carried out and the desired actor has been found there will be a charge for gaining there contact details.

The site already has the later, a searchable database, although the maintenance and monitoring of the database has been to time consuming . The plan would be to offer free inclusion of details, free searching and fee paid for the contact details. This is similar to services used for dating sites such as (http://www.webpersonals.com/wp.epl).

We are a very small company with limited resources and funding, but are keen to offer a good service that is self maintaining. I lookforward to your quotes comments and suggestions

Establishment of a fully searchable database of British Actors, easy to use front end for web using actors to enter there details. Simple and efficient searchable database for returning details on actors. Facility to add audio, photos and video. The inclusion of transactional service by providing contact details to registered users.
There will also be smaller sub section for Agents and similar Media Professionals to add there details to establish a simple directory of Media Professionals
