• Lectures and Labs (practicals) from Week 1 - 5 will help you gain the skills to complete the
assessment item. You need to work in parallel.
• https://kroki.io/ and https://dbdiagram.io/ supports DBML which provides a quick way to
convert text definitions of tables to a diagram
• Remember that your database is
for a SaaS product with multiple
users!
• You can also use Django Models to create
your tables and then include the database
schema diagram
• Note this is the relational schema of a database
that shows the tables, fields, their types and how
the tables relate to each other.
This is not a conceptual model.
Database Design Tips

• Why HTML Mockups?
Why not just graphic mockups or hand drawn mockups?
The main reason is that the assignment is due half-way through the semester. We would like you to be
up to have the HTML so that you can then just implement the HTML in Django Templates for your
project. This does not mean that you don’t need to go through a design process, which may involve
using graphics.
• Can I use Django base templates or Next.js _layout files?
Yes. Just make sure you deploy your app and submit with a Readme.md file with details on how to
access each of your screens. We don’t expect anything to be functional – there are no marks for this in
the Design Document.
• Can I implement the project in another web framework other than Django or Next.js?
No. For support purposes we have restricted the frameworks being used to two. Some of the questions
in the exam will be related to Python and Django.
