Sehh2279 Web Group Project

Simple static web app containing pages for book cataloguing and analytics used in the course project.

Project structure

  • wireframe.html — initial layout sketch
  • Sehh2279_web_GroupProject/ — main site files
    • BookCatalog.html, BookCatalog.js, BookCatalog.css
    • BookAnalytic.html, BookAnalytic.js, BookAnalytic.css
    • Dashboard.html, Dashboard.js, Dashboard.css
    • LateReturns.html, LateReturns.js, LateReturns.css

How to run

This is a static site. To view it locally, open the desired .html file in a web browser (for example, open Sehh2279_web_GroupProject/BookCatalog.html). To test relative paths reliably, serve the folder with a simple static server, e.g.:

Windows (PowerShell):

python -m http.server 8000

Then visit http://localhost:8000/ in your browser and navigate to the files.

Notes for contributors

  • Keep CSS and JS files modular and named consistently.
  • Preserve existing file names and paths to avoid breaking links.

Future development

Planned improvements and feature ideas (prioritized):

  1. Improve accessibility and responsive layout

    • Add ARIA attributes, semantic markup, and keyboard navigation support
    • Ensure layouts work on mobile/tablet (media queries)

  2. Client-side data persistence

    • Replace hard-coded data with JSON files or IndexedDB/localStorage
    • Add import/export for catalog data (CSV/JSON)

  3. Search, filtering, and sorting

    • Advanced catalog search with filters (author, genre, availability)
    • Pagination for large catalogs

  4. Interactive analytics

    • Use charting library (Chart.js / D3) for visual reports
    • Add date-range controls and exportable charts

  5. Authentication and backend API (long-term)

    • Add a lightweight backend (Node/Express) and simple auth
    • Persist data in a small database (SQLite/Postgres)
