– theonedollarwebsite.com – The one dollar project born as a practical example of an article of this website. The idea explores the limits of the costs reduction in technology. It based on the fact that the kind of websites proposed require less storage space than a photo taken by an iPhone. So, if you can share easily a picture since your phone, you can store for free this kind of simple websites. In addition, you also need a domain, a name on internet, in order have a serious website. However, thanks to competence, you can get them for a price as low as one dollar. Of course is just an idea and definitely is more practical to pay an extra price for an upper service.

Design posters and other marketing material. Raise the money to cover the expenses required to publish a mobile app. Create a promotional video. In conclusion, an interesting project that allowed me to learn about many different technologies.
