PROJECT DESCRIPTION
In the project, I am developing a web2.0 site that will help single mothers in the city of Lagos (in Nigeria) share ideas on how to raise children, as single mothers, within the context of the socio-economic straits of the country and the cultural challenges of single motherhood. This site targets a very specific audience – single mothers in a particular city. Users join this network and get connected to other single mothers in the city who are happy to share their experiences with those who are on the same journey. By joining this community, users share and receive support. The site grows by having users create contents and curate contents which others have created. This crucial feature of user-generated content will propel the design and functionality of the website project.

Database
This project will utilize databases to present data and to process user input. Database entities will include the following:
*Members (to hold registration data of members)
*Blog (to hold individual blogs of members)
*Forum (to hold comments by members on specific issues)
*Jobs (to hold details of jobs which members post)
*Events (to hold details of events which members post)
*Photo (to hold URL and other details of photos which members shall upload to the server. The photos will be hold on the server, not on the database)
