GuestHi,
We have a few presale questions:
We are looking to create a directory for a group of doctor’s offices in a WordPress site.
They have about 100 doctors and 10 offices. We’d need to be able to organize the listings:
1. per office location (10 locations, about 10 doctors each)
2. per Specialty (would group same type of doctor per office)We would also need the website’s visitors to be able to search for the doctors:
1. per office location (10 locations)
2. per Specialty (5 specialties)
3. per doctor’s nameIs that something your plugin can do?
Is it responsive?
Which items would we need to purchase?
Do you provide installations services?Thank you.

What you describe seems a lot like this site. SSCIT does have quite a bit of custom functionality added to it. But it shows what can be done.
Based on your description… you would enter all doctors as individuals, the locations would be the address and the specialties would be categories. Seems to be a fairly basic setup.
Themes are responsive or not… the templates for Connections, all responsive friendly (except Market).
You would need at least a template which supports category filtering and search. SSCIT is using a heavily customized version of the cMap template.
As for installation, sometimes I do depending on my availability and the project. I do not do data entry though.
Hope this answers your question.

GuestThanks. I’m unclear about what is customized (and how) and what comes with the plugin and the add-ons.

Sorry I was not more clear! It is actually all custom but built atop of an unmodified Connections plugin. I hope that makes sense!
They commissioned a custom extension for Connections which enables that search you see on their front page. They also have made extensive customizations to the cMap template. The point that I was attempting make was that it seems what you want to do is possible but you may want a custom extension as well.
You can do the setup as I describe above and review the cMap template and its demo to see if they suit your needs or not. It alone may be good enough. Or you may want something more custom tailored.
I hope that helps.
