After checking out their profiles and sample photos, Blanco decides to go with Emilio.

When Blanco goes to the ShutterConnect site, he sees a prominent search box that accepts natural language queries like "Photographers for birthday party on dec 31 in boston".The only other actions possible on this page are signing in (via box in top right corner), and signing up (bottom of the page). Since this is Blanco's first time, he just types his query as "Wedding on July 4 in North Dakota" and clicks on the "find photographers" button. He is then presented with a list of photographers who match his query:
The top of the page contains a search box so that he can create a new search if necessary. Below it, in the "information area" we list the number of results found for his query along with filtering options like budget; we also use the information area to display what we parsed from the user's natural language query. Below this information box is a list of profiles of photographers. A profile contains photographer's photo, short bio, ratings and some sample pictures. We also have an "x" button next to each photographer so that the user can remove that particular person from his list of search results. Clicking on the short profile takes the Blanco to the photographer's profile page containing more details, reviews and sample pictures.
