I created www.playerfind.co.uk quite some time ago and even got a little feature in the .NET magazine with it – Main problem I had was that I rushed it initially because of my work commitments so I really didn’t build it correctly and with all the features I wanted, about 6 months ago I got about 75% through re-coding the DAL to use SubSonic and then realised how much work was involved to get it to where I really wanted it to be.

So I stopped again and it’s just been sat there not doing much!
A few weeks ago I toyed with the idea of dusting off the project and re-building/designing it, and thought it was about time I pushed my Umbraco skills and use the site as a great example of what can be done using the CMS. Not to mention by using Umbraco I would get a fantastic Administration area which I could get people to help me moderate the site.
Along with this I thought it would make a good blog series for me to write about how I am going to approach the rebuild using Umbraco – So its time to get my lad Des to do some concepts on how the new pages will look as it really needs some design input. Then I am going to set of the structure and look at member types and what Document Types will be needed.
I’ll post up all the details in my next blog, along with any visuals I get and what the next stage will be.
