Hi Khuzaima

Yes this makes sense ........

Check this out .. i have modified the site .. Following changes i have
made
1. separated business-directory ver all field are publicly avaliable
2. merged anchors for Org. name and contact name

well yes i have taken all the field for business dir ( as u suggested)on
new site.
But im not very clear abt the address part which u told should have a
state/city geographical distribution . Well if u mean that it should be a
drop down list .. eg. if i select maharastra on state list then
list
of city should also change respectively.I think this could be added in
further version .Wot u say?

If anyone has any other suggestion lemme know

Cheers
Raj
