For our web application, we are creating a possible web-site for Kiara’s job. Her cousin currently owns a small Acai bowl stand in Kailua and could use a website to help expand his business. The website will take pre-orders for their two types of bowls, as well as sell his merchandise. The business owner currently has t-shirts and stickers for sale at the stand, but thinks that selling it on a website can bring in more revenue. We will create a website that has different pages for each type of category (food, clothes, accessories), an “about us” page, contact us page, location page, and an invoice. The website user will also have an option to create or sign in to their account to receive sale notifications, as well as a fast checkout if they are signed in.
Our website will use arrays, loops/conditions, and custom login features to display the products in the store. The user will be prompted to sign in or register when purchasing products, using the File I/O aspect. We will then incorporate the sessions/cookies to kick the user off if they have been inactive on the site for a minimum of 5 minutes.
User will have to re-login if they are inactive for 10 minutes
The user will have to login/register on the products page or log in/register after clicking purchase before viewing the invoice. Regardless, the user must log in/register before completing the purchase of the products.
User registration, displaying the products for sale
Entering product quantities, user login/registration
Site is professional, unique, and flows from page to page
Start early and finish early! We will constantly be working on the project and have a checklist that will show the progress we have made, as well as what we still have to complete. We will take things in stages and set goals to have aspects completed by a certain date so we don’t have to cram right before the due date.
Progress Dates: (put “x” when completed)
Finish 1st Checkpoint by: Wednesday Dec 4
Complete web page by: Saturday Dec 14
Finish screencast aspect: Sunday Dec 15
Finish and turn in project report: Monday Dec 16
Finish and turn in peer evaluation: Monday Dec 16
We currently have finalized our idea of the webpage and will begin creating the web application. Since Kiara works for the business, she is familiar with the information that will be implemented on the site which will make the content easier to input.
