LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US:

Joined builds and grows global professional networks to improve the careers, opportunities and professional development of our members. Our members are professionals that join networks and create social media profiles using the latest technology to build their brands and network for job and business opportunities.

Joined is a free service, and will be launching a paid premium membership options with enhanced tools and functionality.

HERE IS WHAT WE NEED:

1) Professional Premium Member Profile page with Showcase area-

eg. Member Profile page - http://joined.com/index.php/members/view...

2) Member Profile and Premium Member Profile buttons (2) for signature

Members will receive all current free features currently found through their profile. Additionally, Premium Members will receive a Member Showcase area. This allows for the uploading, storing and presentation in the form of images, links, clips, documents, videos, etc. of members portfolio pieces, accomplishments or work samples.

THE DESIGN SHOULD EMBRACE EASY AND FREQUENT UPDATING OF THIS CONTENT (in a social media/web 2.0 model) WHICH WILL OFTEN BE RICH IN COLOUR, STYLE AND VISUAL IMPACT.
