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.
