In this case, I'm trying to build a website that provides a directory of specialised businesses, with a page information for each. Each business needs to be assigned to one or more categories, one or more service types, and have a few other custom bits of information.<br />
<br />
I need to put together a custom search for the homepage using the defined categories, service types and other custom bits of information.<br />
<br />
My experience with Wordpress so far is a few weeks troubleshooting of existing websites, so I don't know much about how to choose a good plugin and how to create things like custom searches or set up the custom business data fields as described above. I'd appreciate advice relating to this particular project, but also any more general advice relating to choosing Wordpress plugins and customising them.
