Website Designs

a)  purpose

A family-based social networking platform similar to Facebook but without memes and pages. Members will be able to post status updates, along with photos and videos to share with their family and friends. There won’t be alike or share system, but people will be able to comment on posts, with a very in-depth sensor system, allowing users much younger than 13 to join the site, unlike Facebook. Images will be stored at high quality as a way of backing up photos, there will be an option to download everything ever uploaded to the site if users lose their photos.

b)  format/style

There will be card based posts on a user’s feed that people can swipe to get rid of, much like Inbox by Google. They will swipe them after they have seen them to remove them from the newsfeed. Users will have profile pages displaying all of their posts, and a little section about them to help other users identify who they are.
