Abstract:
The professional services website includes a mass storage unit connected to a web server. The web server serves a plurality of web pages, which allow for user submission of a description of professional services, a transaction date, and an offer to pay for the services. An application server communicates with the web server and is also connected to the mass storage unit. The application server maintains a database of professional service providers. The database resides on the mass storage unit. Using data from the application server and database, the website mediates communication between the user and professional service providers who accept the user's offer. The only communication permitted by the professional website between the professional service providers and the user is an acceptance of the user's offer with no preconditions. There is no bid/ask, i.e., no counter offer is allowed.
