Details

The project aims to develop NewsVIZ, an intuitive online data visualization tool designed for users with no coding experience. The tool will enable users to create interactive charts, maps, and graphs that can be easily embedded in websites or reports. NewsVIZ will support various chart types, including bar charts, line charts, pie charts, scatter plots, and more, offering users a wide range of visualization options. Key features include customization for branding, collaboration capabilities for team projects, and interactivity to enhance user engagement through tooltips, zooming, and filtering. Additionally, the platform will ensure accessibility by allowing charts to be exported in multiple formats and ensuring responsiveness across all devices. The project will also involve developing a pricing model with three categories based on feature packages.

Deliverables

The deliverables for the project include a functional prototype of the NewsVIZ platform with implemented features such as chart customization, collaboration tools, and interactivity options. The team will also deliver a responsive design that works seamlessly on various devices and export functionality for different formats. Additionally, a detailed pricing model with three distinct feature packages will be developed, providing clear options for potential users.
