1. Overview
– Our company collects all of the obituary information throughout Canada and other relevant details related to the same
– This information is provided to us from hundreds of sources
– We take all of this information, input it into a spreadsheet (or a database, whatever is easier for you) and then upload this information onto the website for paid users to be able to search & view.
– When users view this information:
Each ROW represents one (1) obituary
Each COLUMN represents a particular detail of each individual obituary (EX: Date of Birth)
There will be thousands of ROWS
There is going to be 15-20 COLUMNS
– The most important part of this business is the search function of the website – it is extremely important that users can find the information that they need and view the information in an easy effortless way
– Users need to be able to search with filters – for example, they could only search for “people who died in their 70s” in “Brampton”; or, “people who died a natural death” in “Hamilton”
– This site has two goals:
o 1. To entice people to buy our online membership service (through look, feel, text, security)
o 2. Provide easy to use information (through accurate/timely data, effective search application)
– This data is updated periodically to the website that you are creating
– Clients purchase this information through the website. With a purchase, they can view all data on the website.
– All subscriptions go on a monthly or yearly basis
– Clients have full access 24/7 during the time in which they bought the service
