Answer 1

Did You face any challenges?

As a learner one always faces the challenges but one should not back off from them rather face them boldly.

The story was not different for me I have faced challenges in making the website more user-friendly with all the user actions in my mind and put them into the website was a challenging task. Also, thinking of every possible case where the website would behave abnormal and eliminating those bugs was much interesting.

Once created the website wasn't enough but taking feedback from colleagues was a very important task. I made sure that I don't miss any loophole in our product by implementing the maximum possible suggestions we got.

Now Our next biggest challenge is identifying the target audience and build tactics to strategies to face it.

What did you accomplish?

I have accomplished making a website which is a complete reflection of my thought every single component gives a unique idea. Making a website is easy for everyone but making it to achieve the realistic goals to achieve consumer expectations is a big deal. The people whom I have shown the site are impressed with it and are willing to work with me.

Statistically speaking, out of 50 people I have made the survey I got 39 positive responses only 11 negative responses. Things like this make your efforts worthy and work more passionately.

Are you happy with the end product?

Yes, I am really happy with the end product given the time I have spent on it is cheering.

Did You have any issues with PHP scripting?

Honestly speaking, I was not proficient in PHP before this as I was working on flask on my previous project. So, it was obvious to face issues. There were a number of them.

• Most problems were caused by my preconceived notion.
• Some libraries which I wasn't aware of wasted lots of time.
• Debugging became a bit difficult.
• Sometimes database behavior was peculiar.
• Sometimes I ignored UNICODE issues with my assumptions.

But in the end, I have managed to make my script work well by course and plenty of online resources.

Is there anything that you would do differently the next time that you put a website together?

For sure I have realized a lot of things that I could have done better when I compare my site with other giants in the field.some of them are listed:-

• The focus should've been more on the user interface.
• Database management could have been more efficient.
• User authorization should've been better.
• Next time I need more sample sizes for user feedback.
• The selection of some framework was not good and will try to do better.
