Blacksburg, VA, April 3, 2015: This week Pass It On! has made large strides towards finalizing development. The team agreed on definite rolls for backend and frontend work, with work moving at a very fast pace. With definite roles being assigned and tasks being assigned, the team is confident in having a great product in the future.
“I’m solely working on the frontend aspects of the site, which I really enjoy since I find interface design to be fun and rewarding. I’m looking forward to gaining feedback of my work once we have the site functioning” Matthew Chittum
“I’m starting to work on the backend of the site this week. It’s really exciting for me because this is the first time I’ve gotten to work with the back end of a site!” Joshua White
Since last week, the team has brainstormed and came up with changes to the UI of the site. Some of these changes were created by members of the team while other changes were from suggestions from the presentation last week. The team plans to develop with the User primarily in mind, planning to perform more usability testing in the upcoming month once the site is in a functional state.
“Feedback from our testers and peers has been extremely valuable in helping us make design decisions.” Alex Ciccone
As decisions are made on design, the usability of the website is becoming concrete. These decisions also allow for the team to begin organization of our backend and linking it to the front end.
This coming week with the implementation of the back end, the team hopes to have the connection established to allow for user account creation and login. During this development the team will keep security in mind to provide users with a sense of comfort and confidence. The team is working hard to bring this project to fruition as quick as possible while keeping high quality in mind. Follow the team as they make progress to a final product.
“We are making good progress, planning out our back end, and making decisions on usability and design. The team is gaining momentum as we make leaps in development to a final product.” Minahm Kim
