Creación de una plataforma web informativa para viajeros con página web y gestor de contenidos

Abstract

Access to information in the digital age has revolutionized the way travelers plan and enjoy their adventures. The web has become a fundamental tool for obtaining up-to-date information on destinations, accommodation, transportation, activities and recommendations. However, the abundance of information online can be confusing and disorganized, making it difficult to plan a trip efficiently. Therefore, it is essential to have an effective and easy-to-use web platform that provides reliable and up-to-date information to travelers in an organized and accessible way. In this context, this degree project for the Software Engineering Specialization aims to develop a web page that is intuitive to use for users and, in addition to this, to develop a content manager that allows the management of this web page intended to offer information to travelers in an orderly, updated and easily accessible manner. Website design and development are crucial elements in creating a successful web platform. Usability, accessibility and visual appeal are some of the important aspects that must be considered in the creation of an efficient web page. For this, the best web development practices will be applied, based on international standards and user experience, with the aim of guaranteeing a satisfactory browsing experience for users. The content manager is a fundamental tool in the creation and management of the web platform, since it allows users to create, edit and manage the content of the site dynamically, without the need for advanced technical knowledge in web programming. In this work, a REST API will be created that will allow managing the information of the web page through operations such as POST, UPDATE, PATCH and DELETE, this information will be related to countries, cities, tourist destinations or places of interest. Each of these entities will contain detailed and structured information to ensure that the publications follow the same line in terms of design, with the aim that users become familiar with the page and use it both to plan their trips and to discover new places from the perspective of the page content creators. In addition to the above, it is important to note that the REST API that is being implemented will allow the dynamic construction of the main page automatically and in real time. This will be achieved by executing GET operations to the API at the time of entering the web page, which will ensure that the content is always up to date, regardless of the section being visited. In this way, an improved user experience is guaranteed, since fresh and relevant information will be obtained on each visit, thanks to the API's ability to provide data in real time. This dynamic and automated approach will allow for greater flexibility and adaptability in the presentation of content on the home page, thus providing a more personalized and engaging experience for users interacting with the website.
