Locallife for users

Locallife is a network of sites that constitutes a guide for both visitors and residents of a particular area. On local sites, users browse menus of restaurants, retailers, contractors, professional services, details of schools, and much more. The individual Locallife sites are identical in design and layout. Locallife websites are organized into nine main categories, which are color-coded for clarity and ease of use.
