Previously, we have showed you our Night Class’ e-commerce websites and the students’ reflections on the development process of their projects. Now, let us share with you our instructor’s thoughts on the student outputs.
Each project will be evaluated based on two main categories: 1) Design and 2) Functionality.
ADVENTURE
Design
- use of white, black, and gold to target a specific group of audience worked well.
- landing/home page has a classy appeal and the banner picture complements the layout.
- pages were responsive and adapts properly to changes in window size
Functionality
- able to sort items by category
- had problems with modal implementation during the presentation so the edit item and delete item didn’t work. I am confident though, that these functions are working sans the modal mishap
- could be improved by updating the item stocks whenever customers checkout item/s
- could be improved if the admin page is not accessible to regular users
BOARDOM
Design
- I admire the fact that the entire layout and design of this website is done in basic css, without using frameworks such as Bootstrap. The downside is: the pages were not responsive
- good use of modals to show different games grouped by category
Functionality
- complete functionality and admin privilege
- stocks were updated every after customer checkout
- admin has access to the list of customer orders

Design
- very good design

ComPH
