System Requirements Document (SRD)

Project Name: omega-dog

1. Introduction

This document outlines the system requirements for the omega-dog project, which will serve as the foundation for the online pet shop branded as Loyal for Ever Pets. The platform is designed to cater to a broad market, providing a seamless experience for dog breeders and pet enthusiasts to showcase, browse, and purchase pets and pet-related products.

The system will focus on delivering an intuitive user experience, manual order confirmation, and essential pages like "About Us" and "Contact." This document captures the functional and non-functional requirements, user personas, and technical specifications to guide the development process.

The omega-dog platform, branded as Loyal for Ever Pets, will be an online pet shop tailored for dog breeders and pet enthusiasts. It will feature:

• A catalog of pets and products.
• Online ordering with manual confirmation.
• Informative pages such as "About Us" and "Contact."

The system will prioritize simplicity and scalability, ensuring it meets the needs of a broad audience while allowing for future enhancements like automated payment processing or appointment booking.

Locale-specific considerations for Cameroon (CM) include:

• Currency: Central African CFA franc (XAF).
• Timezone: West Africa Time (WAT).

6. Signature Design Concept

Floating Pawprint Navigation

The homepage of Loyal for Ever Pets will feature an interactive floating pawprint navigation. Here's how it works:

• Visual Design: The homepage will have a soft cream background with animated pawprints that "float" across the screen. Each pawprint represents a key section of the website (e.g., Catalog, About Us, Contact).
• Interaction:
  • Hovering over a pawprint will cause it to "bounce" slightly and display the section name.
  • Clicking a pawprint will smoothly transition the user to the corresponding section.
• Micro-Interactions:
  • Subtle sound effects (e.g., a soft "woof") when a pawprint is clicked.
  • A ripple effect when transitioning between sections.
• Color Shifts: The pawprints will subtly change color when hovered over, transitioning from Warm Coral (#FF6F61) to Soft Gray (#B2B2B2).

This design will create a playful yet professional first impression, making the website memorable and engaging for users.

7. Non-Functional Requirements

• The system must be responsive and accessible on both desktop and mobile devices.
• The website should load within 3 seconds on a standard broadband connection.
• The system must support manual order confirmation workflows.
• The platform should be scalable to accommodate future features like automated payment processing.

8. Tech Stack

Frontend

• React for Web

Backend

• Python
• FastAPI
