My entrepreneurial idea is to create a website that has information about different events going on all around the world. This website would allow someone to choose their location, the maximum distance they would travel to go to an event, and the type of event they are looking for. By including all this information it would narrow the results so that the user doesn’t have to scroll through a million events that do not relate to what they are looking for. This website would not only be helpful when someone is home but also if they are going on a trip and want to plan their trip and what events they want to attend.
This website will not only have information about events going on but it will also allow the user to purchase tickets to the events while still using this one website. This part of the website makes it more convenient for the user so they don’t have to then search the Internet to find the tickets. This is also good for the events because I think it will increase the attendance and amount of people buying tickets. Although people may see on a website an event they want to attend it is very common that they won’t pursue the idea of trying to find a place to purchase the tickets.
Along with all the information about future events and the ability to purchase tickets there will also be a section of the website that allows people to post pictures and comments about past events. People can then see pictures and read about the event from the year which will assist them in determining if they want to attend the event that year. This will be monitored everyday so that nothing is inappropriate on the website.
Since I hope to become an event planner when I graduate I think that this is a great idea. It would also be a good thing for event planners to get their names out in the public and for people to see their work and therefore get more business. Also, if someone is looking to host a party and wants to do research about event planners, locations, caterers, etc. This website has all the information in one place so that it is easier for them to find what they are looking for.
This project has helped me see how what I learned in class can be applied to a website and learn about how a website is created and what is needed to keep it running. By having weekly blog posts about different topics I was able to develop my project in more detail and consider every detail and necessity that I would need to run my website. For example, when learning about identity theft I was able to apply what I learned about computer security to my website so that when people use credit cards to purchase tickets they will not have to worry about their information being stolen.
I think that this website has potential to be created and used all around the world. This website could be very helpful to all different kinds of people and could become a very popular and widely used website. However, this website would have to be monitored and updated every day throughout the day and would require someone to manage it.
