Web Design

Create a simple website for a real estate business, which helps home buyers to get information on properties of their interest.

Minimum requirements for the solution include:

· Should be categorized into the following categories: house, townhouse, condominium

· Able to add/delete/edit properties (it is left to the contestant to decide what features need to be tracked with regards to a real estate property)

· Able to query properties based on such things as property category, price, and the location.

Optional features:

· Come up with ways to present the property online (such as exterior and interior photos, layouts, virtual walkthroughs, maps to the location, etc.)

· Users that are interested in a given property can make a bid.  This bid should be sent (by email) to person who placed the ad on the given property.  Also, you can show what the current best bid is, so that people placing new bids should be able to get an idea of what their competition is.  It's up to the contestants to figure out that their will be invalid bids (i.e. random people just placing a tremendously high bid on a property for no apparent reason), and thus need smart ways to ignore those bids from real bids.

The back-end can be implemented using one of ASP, PHP, or Java Servlets, with the database being either MySQL or MSAccess. Points are given for the creativity shown, working feature set, and for the presentation.
