Networking Web Site for Contractors

Chiefmall.com, the networking Web site for contractors, was launched to localize all contractors worldwide on the Web. The site could be seen as a cross between Google and Facebook for users and contractors. Users can easily locate contractors nearby, contact them, or post jobs to them. Contractors, in return, can easily build their own Web sites with contact information and picture portfolios.
