Final Project Proposal

For my final project I will be working on an online shop dedicated to sports merchandise. It will be called OfficialSportsGear. The site will have merch for NBA, NFL, MLB, and professional soccer leagues. It will include a limited number of teams and player gear due to size and time constraints of the project. The homepage will consist of a welcome greeting as well as a carousel of featured items which will be "best-selling" merch picked according to my personal preference. It will also consist of tabs and dropdowns to navigate to specific sport or type of gear. The front end will be written to include Bootstrap, JavaScript, HTML, and PHP features. An example would be dropdown menu's, login page, onClick events, and product viewing from database. It will feature multiple pages like a HOME, NBA,NFL, MLB, SOCCER, ABOUT US, CheckOut, and Cart. The products themselves will be viewable as their own page like in project 2 possibly with additional information added that will also be stored within the database but not shown when only "quick viewing" items or window shopping. The backend will include all the products and users for the store set in tables within a database. Only logged in users will be able to add to cart and "purchase" products. This will allow incorporating login features, session management, cart tracking, product organization and displaying, and possibly order summaries. Visitors will either be window shopping, navigating through the site, and/or "purchasing" on the website. They will click on product pages, view different categories of gear, add to cart, and be checking out. The database will contain at least two tables for users and products. There will possibly be additional tables for different sports. The layout will be sleek and modern with as much bootstrap assisted interface as possible to produce a professional and update look comparable to any other website. The website will have a navbar and possibly a side navigation for certain categories. A website that would be similar to my website would be fanatics.com which is an official sports store with licensed gear. My site will be different in look and style that would distinguish the experience. It will also be made using custom code unlike other websites using templates or frameworks.
