This capstone project involved developing a mental health support website tailored for first responders. The primary challenge was the absence of existing content or design guidelines, requiring our team to conceptualize and create the entire structure, content, and design from the ground up.
I was responsible for designing the database for this project. Creating the ERD was particularly challenging at first due to the lack of existing content and the early-stage nature of the business model. After several iterations and refinements, this is the finalized ERD for the website.
In addition to designing the ERD, I was responsible for converting it into Laravel-compatible relationships using Eloquent ORM. I also set up the corresponding migration files, seeders, and factories to support database structure, testing, and initial data population.
