Day 14 Hour 1-8: Building the Web Application

Alright, folks! You've made your plans, now it's time to bring those plans to life by building your web applications. This is where the fun begins!

Here's how we'll proceed:

Setting Up the Backend in Airtable: The first step is to set up your database using Airtable. This will act as the foundation for your web application.

Remember, the database should be designed to store data about the schools and training agencies, their project ideas, and other relevant information. Structure your tables and fields in a way that supports the functionalities you want to offer on your web portal, such as profile creation and project idea submission.

Designing the Frontend in Softr: Once the database is set up, we'll move on to designing the frontend of your web application using Softr.

You'll want to design a user interface that is intuitive and easy to navigate. Remember, the key functionalities of your portal should include profile creation for schools and training agencies, a space for project idea submission, and a matching system that enables schools to contact potential partners.

Keep in mind the principles of good web design as you create your pages - consider factors like visual hierarchy, color scheme, typography, and responsiveness to ensure your site looks and functions well on various devices.

Setting Up Third-Party Integrations (if necessary): Depending on your specific project requirements, you might also need to set up some third-party integrations.

For example, you might want to use an email service provider to send out automated emails whenever a new project idea is submitted, or a notification service to alert users when a potential match is found. We've previously discussed using Integromat for these types of tasks, so this could be a good time to apply those skills!

Remember, building a web application is an iterative process. You'll likely encounter challenges and obstacles along the way, but that's all part of the learning experience. Don't hesitate to ask questions, seek help, and experiment with different solutions. Good luck!
