Zelp!

About

Zelp! is my attempt at a rough clone of the Yelp! website, primarily focused on restaraunts as opposed to all businesses. Users will be able to signup, create business pages that will list details about their business and provide a forum for their businesses to be reviewed and advertised online by their peers. There will be implementation for User profiles to store reviews and interact with other Users who frequent the same businesses and a like system where reviews can be prioritized based on how the general populace feels about them.

In the future I hope to also implement maps as well as a search bar to further enable people to find things that are popular near them and potentially find some hiddens gems as well as let their own feelings be known to business owners. It's been a lot of fun trying to recreate this highly intricate site that has a ton of very cool functionality and styling, I look forward to see how much more I can implement.

To use the app you can either select the live link here, or by downloading from the repository and following the steps listed out in the 'Getting Zelp! started' section below
