Description

A full web Admin, B2B and B2C interface for Modern Boating Magazine for Federal Publishing and as a prototype for other publications. This interface enables boat dealers to upload and manage their boats for sale to the web site (including 5 images, managed and resized in real time). It also allows users to search these listings to display a list from their search preferences, see details of a particular boat, with pictures and contact a dealer by email or see a list of all that dealer boats. Built with HTML/CSS/JavaScript/PHP/MySQL The Boating Website is the companion to the Boating Magazine. The website was pre-existing and the job was to implement an application to manage listings within the site.

The listings had 3 audiences

  1. Boat dealers had to be able to upload their boat listings with images onto the site.
  2. Internal staff had to be able to manage and approve listings and dealer membership.
  3. Users of the site had to be able to search boat listings existing on the site.

  • The photographic upload would automatically resize the images to be the hero and secondary images as well as create a consistent larger image.
  • If an image had already been uploaded, the site would say so. The site would also manage the size of the image and make sure it was the correct file type.
  • When a boat was deleted from the site all images were automatically deleted as well.
  • The boat detail page had the means for a user to send an email to that Dealer that would be pre-filled with information on that boat, so the Dealer knew what was being talked about.
