Splash Page/ Cookies/Table (Week 2 Ideas)

Splash page

With other examples of online address books and social media sites, its important to have a splash page were users can either sign up or log in to their existing profile.

To the right is a quick mock-up of a possible design for our splash page.

Cookies 

A cookie will be useful for users who wish to log back in, so they won't have to re-enter their details onto the website. So the minimum we will have is the user name and password cookie. We can set the password to display * 's instead of characters however encryption of the password is another subject of research. A good example of cookies in action is at http://www.cookiecentral.com/demomain.htm view page source to see how its called and used.


Tables  (for data base)


What we will need:

User ID -
First name
Secondname
DOB
Address
Telephone Number
Mobile Number
Photo
Family Tie

We will also be looking into encryption of this table.
