My second project involved me creating a web site for my Hosting company, I created the engine, design, and an ordering system. This project allowed me to learn general form creation, server-side field verification, and server-side email processing (to alert me when a new order is submitted). This project took me about 3 weeks to complete, from concept to completion. The most tedious and time consuming portion of this project was the design, I spent 3 days researching competitive hosting companies and the sites they created. The engine I created has the following features:
- Server-Side Order Processing, which includes emailing a copy of new orders to administrator.
- Outage Engine, which allows customers to see if there are any network or systems outages at a given time.
- Testimonials Engine. which allows prospective customers to view comments and testimonials of current and past customers.
- Product Information, a breakdown of the features that each product offers and their corresponding price.
If you are looking to start a project like this I would recommend that you thoroughly research your competitors, only with this information can you make a competitive site. After you have completed your research, create a general plan of what features you need and what you want, then decide if its possible to add all of your features or just some of them.
