Looking for Suggestions Please

[EmmaSts]

Hello all...
I'm currently developing an Escort Profile website, this was initially for a client but due to circumstances they've had to cancel the order and as I'm not one for just leaving things half finished I'm going to continue to build it and I would like to ask you to offer any suggestions please.
So far I have the Home page, Blog list, Profiles (FAKE PROFILES for TESTING), FaQs up and running, Database setup and the dynamic outputs running too.
I've been looking at other sites to get idea's but i thought I'd ask here for suggestions so I can develop the site to peoples needs rather than following another site which people may not like.
PLANNED FEATURES //////////
Escort Profiles : Escorts can add profiles and information about themselves, times available, how much they charge per hour, services they offer, Pictures. Users can Rate the Escort and Leave Reviews. Submit a Booking request where the Escort can Accept or Deny.
Search : The Search feature will be for Female - Male - TGirl Escorts, this will also have a LIVE SEARCH Where users can search by name, Town, or Services offered.
Blogs : Blogs are a great way to tell a story or generally open a Conversation, Users will be able to reply to the blog (Just like a forum topic).
Member Panel : Member Panels are used for Login where users can access their details and change settings, Escorts can update their profiles adding more information, pictures or change any details they wish.
Featured listings will be charged. (Not sure on prices as i don't know what other sites charge)
///////////////////////////
So if you have any idea's or features to help protect escorts and/or punters to make the site experience a more dynamic and friendly place I'd love to hear them
If you've had any bad experiences on other sites please let me know, Any input no matter how small can make a big difference and I'd rather build this site with people in mind on what they want and need to see so I can get this site finished...
Once it's finished I will probably sell it as a functional website.
If you'd like to have a look so far you can find the site at https://escpro.co.uk/

Thank you and i look forward to your suggestions

I've had a quick look at the site, from what I can see it's well put together but it seems like you are going to be restricting a lot of the information behind membership access, is this membership access expected to be paid for membership or free for punters/clients and escorts to join and be able to communicate?

[EmmaSts]

Thank you for taking a look LordLuken...
Alot of the profiles are incomplete as they're fake profiles for testing, however I have filled in the MelW profile with more information to test functionalities ( https://escpro.co.uk/view.php?escid=4 )

The membership access will be Free as well as any communications to Escorts, Escorts can add profiles and all information without restriction and potential Punters/Clients can send messages too, Rate and Review Escorts, Post and/or Reply to blogs..
The only Paid functionality will be for Featured listings.

I've read stories of Escorts being mistreated and there's been no way of knowing who the client was due to lack of information, membership is used to better protect Punters/Clients and Escorts, ALL Member IP addresses are logged in order to help in the protection should there be any misconduct.
So with the system i'm putting in place, even if the Escort only has the members username to go by, I can provide an Email address and IP address related to that member if need be.

VPN's , proxy servers, throw away emails make tracking users personal details difficult.
payment transactions not so easily hidden.
If the membership is for security reasons, maybe the best way would be to charge a minimum fee
eg; £1 thus ensuring you have a valid means of identifying members who contact the escorts.
The members Identity would still be protected under the data protection act, but would be available to
the law if a crime was committed.

Maybe if I leave Registration Signups Free but have a fee of £1 to give the Client/Punter account access to send messages, view Escort contact details .. Would this sound a better solution ?

Sounds like a good plan

https://www.escpro.co.uk/ is now open for registrations though I do still have the Dashboard to build which will take a few days and the VeriPay system to put in place...
I've had another idea and thats to also add a rating system for Clients/Punters which Escorts can vote to give other Escorts an Idea of their punctuality etc...
I'm thinking if a Client/Punter Recieves X amount of bad ratings the account is suspended automatically...

how about on the WG side, a "black list" of sorts where WG's can highlight any clients who mistreat or behave badly , might be in the form of a chat room thread ..hidden from public access.

Thank you pipwillow...
Forgive me but I'm not familiar with the term "WG" ??

My thinking is when a Client/Punter sends a message to an Escort, the Client/Punter ratings are also sent through, and I think the way forward to help Escorts is to also have a list, like you say so they can access at any time showing Client/Punter ratings:
Bad - Poor - Average - Good - Excellent
As you mention, Escorts to be able to add comments about a client too to give better insight for other Escorts to view

So far:

Update on the EscPro WebSite....

A PRIVATE Client Reputation list added only for escorts to rate and review clients that have sent them a message...

Good - Average - Bad

List of clients shows all ratings where Escorts can view to see their reputation...
