Group Buy Website

Grate

A group buy website to enable cheaper buying for niche items.

Purpose

When buying something in bulk, each individual item is much cheaper than if you were to buy that same item sold individually. However, if you only need one of that item, buying it in bulk isn't feasible. However, were you to buy an item, let's say some pens, in bulk and split the cost with a few friends, who all also only need one pen. That would make it cheaper for everyone. Introducing, Grate, a platform that lets you buy things in bulk and split the cost with other people on the site.

Future Developement

As of now, this app doesn't actually do anything, as we don't have the resources to set up a distribution network. Were we to continue this in the future, we would add credit card functionality so that users could actually use the platform to buy things. That would, of course, require more funds. We would also add reviews and comments to the products.

Technologies

HTML: First Time CSS: First Time BOOTSTRAP: First Time

Theses technologies were used to create the fronted of the website.

PYTHON: django

This is where we had our backend and our backend was complete with working databses for users as well as for items in the shop page. We also had the email - sender on our backend. For our project we linked our HTML pages on the backend as well.

I worked on the front-end. I helped in drawing up an initial design in Adobe XD. I also contributed in designing the Landing Page and the Item Buy page using HTML and CSS. This was my first time using either of those programs. Even though there was an intimidating learning curve, I still had a fun time learning.

I worked on the front-end. I inspired my team with the design by helping create a prototype in Adobe XD. I also gathered some pictures and articles for my team. It was my first team doing a hackathon and I enjoyed it a lot.

I worked on doing HTML and CSS for the frontend. I contributed the shop page, the login page, and helped make them checkout page. I did some work on the Django backend where I helped debug a bit and to implement some of the HTML. I also made the demo video. This was my first time using html, css, and bootstrap, and I gained a lot of knowledge about building websites!

I worked on the back end using Django. It was the first time I tried manual form rendering.
