CS 489 Final Project
CS 489 Final Project


Purpose of the Project

The purpose of this project will be to create a website interface similar to that of Facebook. Whereas Facebook is used as a means of keeping in connect with or getting to know new friends my website will be used by perspective business owners and other entreprenuers to get help and tips from successful business owners to get their business started or to maximize its potential. The different options avaliable throughtout the website will be the ability to access contact and business information, send messages and emails, post pictures of ideas that you have and be able to incorporate links from other places. This will be accomplished through the use of PHP, MySql, Javascript, and HTML. In using these to implement my concept it will make the website simple to use while also making sure it is sytlistically appealing to the user.
