MemberXpress - Web-based Community Site Generator

Project Description

MemberXpress is a website that tries to create social and deal sites around residential communities. It has a drag and drop feature that helps to create informative website modules which also acts as a website builder. The major use cases are, latest news, upcoming events, special offers, new articles, business directory listings, etc. The administrator can manage the main site and ads and the vendor is permitted to manage ads while the client manages the member site. A user can post new deals, news updates, events and so on that is happening in their residential community. It will help the members to know what is happening in their neighborhood this week or month and this network will help them to build a strong community. The administrator creates logins and social a networking site for the clients under subdomains. The clients configure the networking site. The vendors provide data for the advertisements. The advertisements are shown on client networks as well as mobile applications. The system is built using a multi-tiered architecture with distinct services at each layer Client, Presentation, Business, Integration, and Date. This approach provides massive scalability, flexibility, and performance. The primary goal of the technical architecture is to instantly and reliably generate social networking sites for the clients. To achieve this the basic architecture will include lightweight and stable data processing mechanisms including the following components. -A high-performance hardware platform -Relational databases that support a variety of optimizations -Full-text search engines to index and provide access to resources -A variety of servers, such as Web servers and FTP servers -Load balancers to cater to high traffic requests The system would use PHP as the front end and MySQL as the back end. Also other tools like JavaScript would be used for interface enhancements. It must be developed in a class-based manner to provide maximum reusability and extension ability. And it should be extremely scalable. The database should be highly indexed to achieve this scalability. Access to these sites is limited to members. Local merchants are encouraged to offer special deals and to advertise through the platform. The advertiser portal for local vendors is for posting deals to different communities. The application would be developed using the LAMP stack.
