Complete site design

Peten On the second page I have added a picture with a main idea of the front page. Just to give a first impression. Since this is a project where design and coding is involved. I’ll make a distinction. Design: - I definitely prefer a Web 2.0 look – but user-friendliness is more important than design – so applied usability is a must. - Peten is named after a rainforest and an ancient capital of the Maya’s, I’d like this worked out in the theme of the website. - Bright colors are preferred on a white background. - Working with CSS as much as possible, to make the site load quicker. Of course it’s cleaner as well. - Sites like [login to view URL] and [login to view URL] are an inspiration to this site. (This as an help with designing the website – especially [login to view URL] is likeable with all it’s bright colors) Coding: - Each store can add themselves to Peten. - They can add their own products with the help of a simple standard (for example a text file with tabs) - For me it has to be easy to enter data (store and product), I collected, into the website. - Since we work with a Google Map to locate the stores, the registration process should also be linked to this ( we can discuss the easiest way to do this with the current map-coder ) - Each store will get their own subfolder. For example: [login to view URL] Here all the products of the store are shown in a standard layout which can be slightly modified by the store. For example the colors and the brand. - Users can find all this data easily with the help of a search-bar. Related info should also be shown on the search-result page. - Popular searches should be saved for other users to see. - Related stores and products should be shown to the user on the frontpage. Let’s say a user searches supermarkets, other supermarkets should be shown on the frontpage whenever the user returns to that page. When he searches for a new category, this new one will he shown on top. I think three remembered categories are sufficient. If the fourth category is visited the first one should disappear. - All code has to be as secure as possible. This is intended as a platform for stores so reliability has to be assured. - Optional: the searched values should be saved on the website as userpreferences.
