Introduction

The project, autumn-idea, aims to develop a per shop website with a focus on creating an engaging and interactive landing page. This document outlines the system requirements necessary to achieve the project's objectives.

System Overview

The autumn-idea project is designed to provide individual shops with a personalized online presence. The primary focus is on developing a captivating landing page that effectively showcases each shop's unique offerings and attracts potential customers. The system will be user-friendly, visually appealing, and optimized for both desktop and mobile devices.

Functional Requirements

• As a Visitor, I should be able to contact the shop through a contact form on the landing page.
• As a Shop Owner, I should be able to view analytics on visitor interactions with the landing page.

User Personas

• Shop Owner: Individuals who own and manage their shops, responsible for maintaining and updating their online presence.
• Visitor: Potential customers who visit the shop's landing page to learn more about the products and services offered.

Signature Design Concept

The landing page for autumn-idea will feature an interactive "Shop Carousel" concept. Upon landing, users will see a dynamic carousel of shop images that rotate in a 3D space. Each shop image will be clickable, allowing users to explore more about the shop. The carousel will respond to mouse movements, creating a sense of depth and engagement. This will be implemented using @react-three/fiber for 3D rendering and gsap for smooth animations and transitions. The interactive carousel will provide an immersive experience, encouraging users to explore the shops further.

Interaction Model & Motion Direction

The landing page will employ a "parallax" interaction model, providing a layered depth experience as users scroll. Decorative elements will move at different speeds, creating a visually rich first impression. This model is ideal for the autumn-idea project, enhancing the storytelling aspect of each shop's unique offerings. Internal pages will maintain a "static" interaction model for clarity and ease of navigation.

Non-Functional Requirements

• The system must be responsive and function seamlessly on both desktop and mobile devices.
• The landing page should load within 3 seconds to ensure a smooth user experience.
• The system must be secure, protecting user data and shop information.

Tech Stack

• Frontend: React for Web
• Backend: Python, FastAPI
• Database: MySQL or MariaDB, with alembic for migrations
• Local orchestration: Docker, docker-compose
• Server-side orchestration: Kubernetes

Assumptions and Constraints

• The system will primarily target shop owners in India, considering local preferences and business practices.
• The project will adhere to standard web accessibility guidelines to ensure inclusivity.
• Budget constraints may limit the extent of custom features available to each shop.
