2.3.2 Drawbacks
While our Event Information Portal offers numerous benefits and unique features,
it's essential to be aware of potential drawbacks that may impact its effectiveness
and user satisfaction:
Limited Reach: Despite efforts to provide localized content, there may still be
gaps in coverage, especially in smaller cities or rural areas with fewer tech
events. This could result in some students feeling left out or underserved by the
platform.
Competition from Established Platforms: Existing event platforms like
Eventbrite and Meetup already have a strong presence and user base. It may be
challenging to compete with their extensive resources, established networks,
and brand recognition, particularly in the Indian market.
Dependency on External Data Sources: Your portal relies on external sources
for event information, such as event organizers and community forums.
Inaccurate or outdated data could lead to frustration among users and undermine
the credibility of your platform.
Technical Limitations: Being built with HTML and CSS may limit the
functionality and scalability of your portal compared to platforms developed
using more advanced technologies or frameworks. This could affect the user
experience and hinder future enhancements or expansion plans.
User Adoption and Engagement: Convincing students to use a new platform
and regularly engage with it may be challenging, especially if they are already
comfortable with existing event discovery tools or social media platforms for
networking and information sharing.
Sustainability: Maintaining and updating the portal over time requires ongoing
effort and resources. Without a clear plan for sustainability, including funding,
7
staffing, and long-term support, the project may struggle to remain relevant and
effective in the long run.
Data Privacy and Security Concerns: Collecting and storing user data for
registration purposes may raise privacy and security concerns among users,
especially given the increasing focus on data protection regulations such as
GDPR and India's Personal Data Protection Bill.
The problem at hand is creating an ‘Event Information Portal’ using HTML and
CSS to provide students with information about upcoming hackathons and
extracurricular events.
