Analyzing the project – booking online

The project we are going to realize in this chapter is an online booking site.

Let's imagine you get hired by a company doing online booking, because their site is good, but they know you can make it superlative.

You will work with many other great developers so you will have all the backend functionalities you need; you can also ignore all the problems with the styles, because other people will take care of them; the only thing they need from you is a good, bug-free, web interface.

This domain is new for us, so as the first step, we will go around looking at the website of many competitors, to get an idea about what users can expect from such sites.

This is the list of the competitors we are studying for ideas:

• Booking.com (http://www.booking.com/)

• AirBnB (https://www.airbnb.it/)

• Expedia (http://www.expedia.it/)

• Trivago (http://www.trivago.it/)

• Hotels.com (http://www.hotels.com/)

• Venere.com (http://www.venere.com/)

You can see that all of them share the same...
