Title:Develop Post Code search to locate nearest office

Location:Anywhere

Job Description

We are looking for a web based “Nearest office” feature..
We have 40 offices around the UK..
We are looking for a way of displaying the nearest office to a post code.
The post code will already be in our database and we just need a web page that can generate the result by including the searched for post code on the URL.
The Post code will just be the Out Code, ir DE22, or DE 23 not the full post code.
For example, and really just an example of using URLs to search for web pages and nothing to do with post codes..
If I wanted to search for the people per hour Facebook page and had the ID I could just add it to http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id= to bring up the page…
OR
W are happy to look at a more enclosed system, possibly using Google Maps or Bing maps.. Possibly plotting the 40 offices on a Map so also visualising the nearest office, or giving an option to the customer of more than one office.
At the end of the day we want to quickly identify which office is closest to a postcode and will take advice on the easiest solution.

Here are a few examples of what we need..

Here are some practical tips on staying safe

Never pay any money to Clients and or provide sensitive details like your Bank information, Credit Card or Passwords
Never accept a Job if you have been directed away from PeoplePerHour to another website
Be cautious when providing your personal contact details (email, telephone number, instant message ID etc) before your Bid is accepted
If you have been asked to send samples, put a watermark on them or send low resolution examples to avoid being exposed and not getting paid

Keep your Escrow account topped up and ensure that you use the Private Message Board to track all pertinent details about the Job e.g. timelines, deliverables etc
Before you supply final works to Clients, ensure you have adequate funds in Escrow
