I started a little bread baking business with a friend of mine autumn 2007. Because we were selling our loaves to college students we decided to use facebook groups and google spreadsheets to keep track of our customers and their orders. This was a good solution to our weekly work flow and ’storefront’ for the time being, however, we did want to an even more aggressive track to lessening our work on admin stuff so we could get back to baking. Making a facebook application is the result.
What I have written so far actually takes more time to manage than the facebook group, though it does allow the customers to give us more feedback and info about themselves than we had them do previously. This is certainly going to be an ongoing project that requires me to gather more feedback to put together the most usable product that I could make.
Not my original intention for my final project, but I eventually decided to start from the ground up and do a redesign of my personal website. I couldn’t manage to finagle the javascript codes for a photography portfolio in time for the final, but I haven’t given up. It is a work in progress that I have decided will be added to my personal website instead of adding yet another additional site to manage separately.
Here is the working page that will shortly grow into a flourishing and all encompassing website for my disposal:
