Project

The aim of this project is to create a Phase 1 prototype web site for a start-up company. The prototype will be used for demonstration to potential investors and as a prototype of the user interface for the eventual production system.

The goal of MyTab.com is to provide web users with a "master account," through which they can access and navigate their many online accounts through a single, safe platform – eliminating the need to continually retype usernames and passwords as well as open new tabs inside their web browser to access accounts. One of the most convenient features of MyTab is that users will have the ability to log in and out of their accounts by clicking a "Login/Logoff" button attached to the bottom of each account’s thumbnail. Upon logging in and making active the accounts of their choice, users can simply click on any active thumbnail and it will maximize (much like a Facebook picture), allowing them to manage and navigate the account through the MyTab screen.

Practical considerations

The following considerations need to be addressed during the feasibility study.

• The client is based in Stamford, Connecticut. He will visit Cornell several times during the semester, but most communication will be remotely.
• Since this is an entrepreneurial project, it is essential that the ownership of all the rights to the design and code are agreed in advance.
• The production system will need to have very high security. This does not have to be implemented in the prototype, but the framework must be there.
