Phase 1

Phase 1 – Functional Design and Wireframes

In this first phase of the project, I have defined the core functionalities and technical objectives of the Sky Apartments web application. The key outcomes of this phase include:

📌 Functional Analysis

• Identification and classification of features into basic, intermediate, and advanced levels, based on priority and complexity.

👥 User Roles and Permissions

• Specification of three user types: Anonymous, Registered, and Admin.
• Definition of capabilities and access rules for each user type.

🧱 Entities and Relationships

• Initial design of the domain model, including main entities such as:
  • User
  • Apartment
  • Booking
• Defined the relationships between them.

📊 Feature Highlights

• Image uploads (e.g., apartment photos)
• Ownership and access control for user-generated content
• Use of charts for analytics and statistics
• Integration with third-party services:
  • Maps (Google Maps)
  • Email notifications
• Advanced functionalities:
  • Dynamic pricing based on demand, dates, and season
  • Smart apartment search based on reviews and availability

🖼️ UI/UX Design

• Creation of low-fidelity wireframes to illustrate navigation and page layout.
• Visual drafts of main pages (e.g., home, listing, booking).

📝 Documentation

• README.md created with:
  • Project summary and goals
  • Functional and technical objectives
  • Development methodology and planned phases
• Detailed analysis of:
  • Screens and navigation
  • Entities and attributes
  • User permissions
  • Visual components: images and charts
  • External technologies
  • Planned algorithm or advanced query logic

🗂️ Project Tracking

• GitHub Project board created to manage tasks and monitor progress.

📰 Blog

• First blog post published on Medium to introduce the project and outline development plan.

🚧 This version includes no code implementation — only planning, design, and documentation have been completed.
