My
entrepreneurial idea is to create a website which would cater to students and
professionals in design fields (such as architects, architects, engineers,
interior designers etc.) and help them design their own portfolios online,
using different templates that can be customized. The site would also allow users to connect
with other users and different companies for prospective job opportunities.
I feel that
having a Windows, Mac, or Linux operating system would be necessary to create
this website layout. For me, I would
need a Windows operating system because this is the system that I am proficient
in. I would allow my employees to choose
which operating system they would want to work in because everyone has their
own preference.
As stated in
a previous post, we will be using Adobe products such as Photoshop to create
the different layouts for the website as a whole and the clients’ personal
websites. Adobe products require either
a Windows or Mac operating system. Adobe
programs will be needed to do all the design layouts and color choices. Both my employees and my clients should have
a Windows or Mac operating system so that they can run Adobe programs.
In order to
put the website on the Internet, we will need a server. The operating system I feel is best for the
server is a Linux operating system. Unlike
other server operating systems, Linux is open source which means that we can
change the code as much as we need.
Linux also has no viruses which is really good because then none of our
computers and our clients computers will be infected. Lastly there are no license fees associated
with the operating system.
I really like that your idea is specific to the design field. Similar sites like LinkedIn have had great success so I'm sure that yours would as well. I feel like specifically for you needs the Mac OSX operating system would be the best, especially because you are designing the website as certain designing software such as Adobe Photoshop works more efficiently on a Mac OS.
