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.
