THE PET PEOPLE E-COMMERCE BUSINESS
THE PROJECT
The Pet People is a fictitious firm that provides pet owners a way to easily locating suitable people to take care of their pets. This project had groups create an e-commerce business from scratch with the ultimate goal being the creation of a semi-functional website for the business. Groups had to come up with a business plan and determine the financial layout of the firm. They are to code the website for their firm using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and PHP.
The Pet People's website consists of features such as searching the potential pet caregivers based on certain search requirements, and paying through the site. The website also has logging in capabilities with corresponding profiles. The point of our business is to make it easier for pet caregivers to market themselves to potential customers and for pet owners to easily find trustworthy people to take care of their pets.
MY ROLE
I came up with the initial idea for The Pet People, later I was elected by my group as the "CEO" of The Pet People. Being the "CEO" basically just meant I was the project manager, so I was making sure everyone stayed on the same page and the website looked unified at the end. I finalized the documentation throughout the project based on what other members wrote. I contributed a lot to the research that went into finding the best prices to include in our financial layout. Specifically on the website, I was in charge of the sign-up and login interfaces for the pet owners and the pet caregivers. I also helped decide and code the CSS reference page that was used throughout the site.
