PharmaTowi
Quick Overview
This website was designed as the final project for the Web technologies course of 2018-2019.

For pharmacists, this website was aimed to simplify the workflow as well as offer simplified exposure.

Technologies Used
In order to provide the different functionalities we had to employ a range of technologies. For a full set of requirements, please see the requirements.txt file in the root of the project.
- Django: The platform was developed using the Django framework
- HTML(5)
- CSS: The Bootstrap framework was used. This allowed us to provide a good mobile experience as well as desktop.
- Javascript
- Ajax: Ajax was used multiple times throughout this platform. For example in generating the map with the pharmacies and when rating and posting comments. This allows us to display new content without the user having to reload the page.
- Mapbox and Twilio API
