Just to provide an overview, it will be based off of the TripAdvisor model - providing services to users and charging business who use the site's space to advertise on a revenue per click basis. I would also like an interactive forum for reviews.
Just to provide a very rough and ready summary: I like to adopt a 'revenue per click' website model, it will be an ad-renting space which will essentially sell an advertisement service - similar to that of booking.com or TripAdvisor as far as the number of pages required is concerned, approximately: 'ABOUT US' - about us - resources and policies - careers - trust & safety - contact us - accessibility statement
'EXPLORE' - review forum - add a place - join - help centre/FAQs

If it wasn't already obvious, I am a complete novice with these sorts of things! So, I am probably not even entirely sure what my requirements are at this stage.
