This is the final project submitted in compliance with the requirements of General Assembly (Sydney) to graduate from the Web Development Immersive. For this project, I chose to make a dating website.
CorinthiansBliss is a dating website where users have to register to have access to other users' profiles. The website has a search function where users can search for dates by selecting their preferred attributes of their potential dates. Once a user has found a search result, he or she can send a message to the other user and likewise receive a reply, if any. The website utilized the following applications to achieve a functional and clean website:
- Ruby on Rails - wireframe upon which the website is built
- Bootstrap - responsible for creating a clean and presentable website
- Cloudinary - responsible for storing all the images saved in CorinthiansBliss
- Heroku - where CorinthiansBliss is deployed
Here is our live site

The improvement of a website is a continuing process. No matter how perfect the website appears, there will always be changes that need to be made if users are not satisfied with it.
-
Planning is essential to making websites. Therefore it helps when developers know what needs to be done and what features can go later.
The website would have provided better user experience if the following features were incorporated which would have allowed users to:
- Send messages to the other user in the same message history.
- Let users see only the names of the other users once in the messages tab to avoid repetition.
We would like to thank Luke Hammer, Matthew Edge-Williiams and Jack Wolf for helping me develop the website and correcting and improving the codes I had. Many thanks also to Lingxiao Wang and Weijia Li for fixing the bugs in the codes.
