The brief for this website was to take a spreadsheet (in CSV format) of 4,000+ marketing professional’s contact details and load them into a Wordpress site which my client would charge users a monthly fee to access.
In order to do this, I set up a custom post type for ‘contacts’ with loads of extra meta-data attached to each item. Then I used the WPMU Dev Membership plugin to hide parts of pages from the user – Only logged in and paying members are able to see premium content.
The site is also fully responsive for smartphone use, and has excellent load times (great for SEO).
