Smart Homes is initially selling its product and needs a Web store-locator application. To support this capability, Smart Homes has requested that you design and develop a prototype. Your solution must address the following:

1) The Web application must use Google Maps.

2) The Web application must contain the following user interfaces:

The search input interface must allow the user to submit a zip code and mile radius for the search parameters.

The search results interface must display a table of store location results.

3) The Web application must integrate at least one social media site such as Twitter, Facebook, or Google+.

4) The Web application must allow visitors to post videos directly to YouTub or another media-sharing site.

5) The Web application must facilitate international sales of Smart Homes' thermostats by providing a currency converter, allowing users to convert the United States dollar (USD) price to the currency of the buyer.

You will be using Google APIs website to complete your assessments. For this purpose, you will need a Google account. After you sign in to Google, go to Google APIs (linked under the Required Resources) and create a project. (Note: You do not need to sign up for a free trial of the cloud platform.) Once you are in, explore the console's APIs, especially the maps, YouTub, and currency conversion APIs.

Instructions

Work through creating a Web application framework for the site to create a professional design that will allow you to present each of the Web components in a consistent manner. Using a framework like Bootstrap will make your site much faster to deploy, allowing you to focus on the functionality of the various Web components. The framework focuses on cross-browser compatibility and CSS-less functionality, saving you time and allowing you to create a mobile-read website efficiently. Create your Web pages, and write a one-page memo explaining the technologies, frameworks, and protocols you have used in creating the Web application.

Part One

Create Web pages for your site as follows:

Create all of your Web pages (one for each Web component including this task).

Use an existing framework to build your site.

Use HTML, CSS, and JavaScript along with a framework to help format your pages and navigation.

Format page navigation using consistent design specifications.

Explain the technologies, frameworks, and protocols that you have used in creating the Web application.
