-
frontend system structure: Frontend systems are responsible for the User Interface Design -
backend system structure: Backend system structures are supporters of front end system structure. It is designed to complete the full functionality of the platform to implement and connect all system features.
The overall feature of the platforms are as below: * The platform provides a peer to peer sharing/rental service * Provides a search algorithm and displays results * Creates listings * Views listings * Creates and manages user accounts

The platform is also responsible for electronic payment transactions. Privacy security concerns were not raised in the first iteration. However, in the second iteration encrypting of passwords and better security data of verified ID will be implemented. Partnership with PayPal and/or other financial services can be explored. Further legal advice will be required to plan for unfavorable circumstances.
Insert testing examples
* Paper Prototypes

* Users are able to navigate the system - 'Mental Model'
* The system provides a unique and helpful experience
* The user trusts the system with sensitive information (location etc.)
