SLC Rental Website (why it will be awesome)
Problem: Finding the RIGHT apartment or house to rent is a pain in the arse
Solution: Our innovative interactive website!!!
Overview of Website • Ability to easily post an ad for your apartment and house rentals • Upload Pictures • Ability to do a customized search through posted ads according to user’s specifications • Provide more area specific information
System Architecture • Web-based user interface • HTML, Javascript • Java based server program • Java, JSP, JDBC • Database • mySQL
Why we need something like this….. • With the upcoming Olympics, people might decide they want to move here and need a good way to find a decent place • Other web sites are more general…..and can’t/don’t provide area specific information • Web sites that DO provide area specific information don’t have decent apartment searches
Case Study: Yahoo • What they do well: • Good user interface • Several search customizations • How they suck: • Lack of area specific information • Poor ability to narrow search down to specific areas of town
Case Study: CitySearch • What they do well: • Provide very area specific information • How they suck: • Search engine has very limited search customizations (can only search by city)
How our website is unique…… • We try to incorporate a strong customizable search engine with access to area specific information
