What are the main features of a Chinese wedding?

Building a yelp for wedding photographers, what are some features photographers want?

• I am in the process of building a wedding photographer directory. What features are important for wedding photographers? Right now I have photo uploads, contact information, social sharing, price/location filtering and photo ratings. Things I am considering are customer reviews, google analytics for the profile page, scheduling system.

• Answer:

  http://www.weddingwire.com is your direct competitor. You would want to offer the majority of what they do. Good luck. :) I wouldn't offer the 5-component 5-star system. It reminds me of eBay's Detailed Seller Ratings, and is just as useless. They actually made it possible to use half-stars as well, which is absurd. The problem with such detailed rating systems is that they make it possible for someone to penalize the vendor without intending to do so. A higher priced vendor will likely get dinged in the "value for services rendered" rating, for example. This is bad enough on eBay that sellers explicitly request a 5-star DSR in all categories to avoid jeopardizing their Top Seller status, which carries tangible and monetary benefits. Do vendors actually want to be in these directories? Not really. They expose a prospect to many competitors. It is difficult to differentiate as a photographer and this forces intense competition. As for me, I offer a technology to get more reviews. More review sites means more business for me. :)
