Progress of the project
Choice of subject
At begin, the subjects below caught our attention:
- Swiss history
- The pollution
- Bulbs
- Creation of a generator of HTML / CSS skeleton
The objectives
Our purpose is to convince our visitors that the incandescent and halogen bulbs are a disaster of the economic point of view and must be replaced.
To replace them, there are two possible choices, fluocompact or LED. Our second objective is to warn our visitors that fluocompact isn't the good choice because not recyclable. Indeed, they contain some mercury, a highly toxic substance.
Our last objective is to motivate our visitors to buy LED. Even if the LED is more expensive in the purchase, they turn out more economic in the long term than fluocompactes. Furthermore, the last generations of LED offer a very good lighting.
Personas
To offer an adapted interface to our visitors, we had to define who would be our visitors. To be made, we created three personas.
Organization
For the realization of this site, we divided up the tasks in the following way:
Name | Task |
---|---|
Bastien Beuchat | Data research and realization of the page 'Calculator' |
Quentin Di Meo | Realization of comparator pictures |
Creation of contents for the homepage | |
Simon Lièvre | Data research and realization of the page 'Calculator' |
Picture retouch of certain icons | |
Marcio Ferreira | Realization of comparator pictures |

Quentin Singer | Research and creation of contents for Good to know page |
Lucas Bulloni | Design and creation of website |
Pierre-Yves Lachat | Data research and realization of calculator page |
Realization of comparator page | |
Normand Paratte | Realization of comparator page |
Marc Borruat | Realization of comparator page |
David Rihs | Search and creation of contents of 'Good to know' page |
To organize our work, we used Trello.

Photo laboratory
To be able to compare the quality of the lighting of various bulbs, we set up a laboratory of tests. In this laboratory, we staged different objects that we shone with various bulbs. For every tested bulb, we measured the quantity of light with a luxmeter and taken a photo. You can discover photos and result of these tests in our comparator.
Below, two photos stemming from our laboratory.


Programming
To be able to realize our site, we used the languages already studied at the school as well as the new languages as the PHP. List of the used languages:
- HTML
- CSS
- JavaScript
- PHP
- Jquery : JavaScript framework
- Bootstrap Twitter : CSS Framework
- Quicksand : JQuery plugin for filter and sorting data
- Flip counter : Counter management
- Google Chart Tools : Graph creation
