Site-for-truckers

A business card website for a trucking company. This project was developed as part of a university web development course. It allows clients to submit cargo transportation requests and contact the company via a feedback form.

The Russian version is available here.

Description

Many trucking companies lack a structured online presence, leading to chaotic communication via phone and messengers. This website solves the problem by providing a single information hub and a structured request submission tool. Clients can fill out a transportation request or send a message through the feedback form. Managers receive organized data, speeding up response times and reducing errors.

Technologies Used

• Frontend: HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript (vanilla)
• Backend: PHP (native)
• Databases: MySQL (structured requests), MongoDB (feedback and comments)
• Infrastructure: Docker, Docker Compose
• Security: Environment variables (.env), input validation

Features

• Online request form for cargo transportation (name, contact, cargo details, route).
• Feedback form for questions and comments.
• Company information and service descriptions on the main page.
• Fully responsive design (PC, tablet, mobile).
• Dual database architecture: MySQL for requests, MongoDB for flexible feedback messages.
