Web Application for Realtor 'ClassLook' Using Dot Net – Online Classes

Client Brief

The client's requirement was to develop a calendar based web application that allows a realtor to search for events and classes (educational programmes) on calendar. Functionalities like view class information as well as enrolling for classes are also among some specific requirements.

Our Endeavor

This website happens to be a means of helping realtors to get connected with big shots of real estate brokers in and around Arizona. Specialist offer classes and users enroll themselves to take up this classes to enhance their professional skills. We have designed and developed the whole website and call this ClassLook.com (http://classlook.com/beta/default.aspx). Currently this is running on beta, but later the client wishes to redirect it and launch it as a fully functional site. We have started working on it from scratch.

We have created a web application that allows the registration of a provider and realtor for multiple cities. A Provider can create the classes and events for selected cities only. However, the Realtors could search for classes and events and get registered with the events that they would like to participate in. The registration is done for cities separately by the provider, whereas the realtors too are asked to get registered with each city in which they wish to operate. All classes/events are displayed in a jQuery based calender. The reason behind developing a jQuery based calender is the availability of many advanced features through it like the custom drop-downs,Slider pop ups and calender search without page postback that could only be achieved using the jQuery and Ajax.

Initially we have done the following things:

Designed the database and architecture of the website
Designed graphic (one for each) for homepage and an inside page template
Done tableless HTML conversion and have developed 5 static HTML pages
Integrated default flash video player

We have incorporated the following functionalities in the front-end of the website:

The main menu on the home page displays the following – Home, Realtor, Class/Event Provider, and One Time Event functionalities
Realtors are able to search for CE classes, business training classes, and events
Class/event providers are able to list their class details and events

Two types of users can register themselves with this website: “Realtors” and “Class Providers”.
