Zinc-Shoes System Requirements Document

Introduction

The purpose of this document is to outline the system requirements for the "Zinc-Shoes" project, a website designed to showcase a shoe brand. This document will detail the functional and non-functional requirements, user personas, design concepts, and technical specifications necessary to build and maintain the website.

System Overview

Zinc-Shoes is a four-page linked website aimed at showcasing a variety of shoes and their prices. The website will feature interactive elements such as hover effects to reveal shoe details, a category section for easy navigation, an about us section, an article section for reviews, and a stage-like section for highlighting best-selling products. The website will also include an admin role for managing content efficiently.

Functional Requirements

• As a User, I should be able to view shoes with hover effects to see details.
• As a User, I should be able to navigate through different shoe categories.
• As a User, I should be able to read reviews from entrepreneurs and customers in the article section.
• As a User, I should be able to view the most selling product showcased on a stage.
• As an Admin, I should be able to manage products and reviews.

User Personas

• User: Interested in browsing and purchasing shoes, reading reviews, and exploring different categories.
• Admin: Responsible for managing the website's content, including products and reviews.

Signature Design Concept

The homepage of Zinc-Shoes will feature an interactive 3D shoe carousel using @react-three/fiber and @react-three/drei. Users can click and drag to rotate the carousel, revealing different shoe models in a dynamic, engaging manner. Each shoe will have a hover effect that enlarges the image and displays additional details like price and available sizes. The stage-like section for best-sellers will use gsap for smooth transitions, making the featured product appear as if it's being spotlighted on a rotating stage. This interactive experience will captivate users and encourage exploration.

Interaction Model & Motion Direction

The landing page will employ a "parallax" interaction model, creating a layered depth effect as users scroll through the site. Decorative elements like floating shoe silhouettes and atmospheric color gradients will move at different speeds, enhancing the storytelling aspect. Internal pages such as the admin dashboard will adopt a "static" model for clarity and ease of use.

Non-Functional Requirements

• The website should load within 3 seconds on a standard broadband connection.
• The design should be responsive and accessible across all devices and screen sizes.
• The system should support concurrent admin and user sessions without performance degradation.

Tech Stack

• Frontend: React for Web
• Backend: Python, FastAPI
• Database: MySQL or MariaDB, using Alembic for migrations
• Local Orchestration: Docker, docker-compose
• Server-side Orchestration: Kubernetes

Assumptions and Constraints

• The website will primarily target users in AI, with currency and timezone settings adjusted accordingly.
• The admin role will have full access to manage all content on the website.
• The system will be designed to handle a moderate level of traffic typical for a niche e-commerce site.

Glossary

• Hover Effect: A visual change that occurs when a user places their cursor over an element.
• Parallax: A scrolling technique where background images move slower than foreground images, creating an illusion of depth.
• Carousel: A rotating set of images or content that users can navigate through.
• Admin: A user role with permissions to manage website content and settings.
