LO2 - Planning a multi-page website.
Hive IT - I will be creating a PHP scripted website for "Hive IT's" API on monitoring Hives across the UK. It will need to:
Be scripted/coded by hand, allowing for interactions between the JSON located on the Hive IT website, and the website i will be scripting.
Contain all the information required for a person to view the temperature and humidity of their hive.
Show why bees are important and what is currently happening in todays world that is an issue.
The website must be modular, and allow easy access for new hives to access the same information.
Purpose of the site :- To provide live infographics on the health of British bees. live stats will be present to show the adoption status of bees along with bee's saved, bees still unhappy (dying) and live statistics and updates of bees. The site will also raise awareness of bees importance in the world and what people can do to save them (adoption, PDF information pack). The site will finally contain a small web-store which allows people to sponsor bees online or buy bee merchandise.
Target audience :- Companies/Small families interested in adopting bees to help preserve bees and sponsors to help people aware of the death of bees and how important they are to humanity. Small children located anywhere in the UK along with parents.
Resources Needed:
- Photoshop for creating the logo and assets.
- Internet access to view and develop the website.
- Paper / Pencil / Photoshop for sketching website designs.
- Dreamweaver for coding the website.
- AMPPS for testing PHP locally.
Legal and Ethical
- Photos of the hive equipment.
- Usage for the Hive IT logo and for access to their open source API.
- I will have to reference where i get the photographs from if needed.
- Due to the specification allowing us to use Hive IT's assets, no explicit permission is needed.
Launch Date: 20th March 2016
Budget: As i hand coded my website, the budget would be £0 for creation. The website would however have to be hosted online which could either be done by already owned servers or through a different hosting provider. Hosting on https://nitrous-networks.com comes to ~£1.80 monthly for access to everything minus the domain. However due to Hive IT already owning a domain and hosting, it could be run off of the same system, for no extra fee.
Potential Revenue: People would pay to have their hives data transmitted through to the website most likely on a monthly basis. This would pay for maintenance of the site as well as it's upkeeps. Advertisements through Google Adsense could also be used for extra revenue.
I will not need access to the demo hives, but instead to the Hive Data hosted by Hive IT's API.
