In order to design my website, I would like pictures from college students in their cars. User content would make it seem more realistic, so I would ask college kids to take the pictures and send them to me for me to post on the website. In order to do this, I need to make sure the pictures they send me have enough DPI to show up clearly on the screen. 5X7 photos would be the best size for the website.
On the website, I would install a "Trip Cost" application to add up the cost of the entire trip and then divide it between the carpoolers. It would take into account the cost of gas and tolls along the way. The riders would then be assured of the cost of their share.
In order to do this, I would use a RFID in their EZPass to record how much they spend on tolls. The information could then be used to determine how much each rider owes the driver. Students can then be assured their driver is not ripping them off, but the cost of the trip is validated by the RFID.

Excel will come in handy for SUcarpool.com because it can store massive amounts of information in an easy to use and organized format. I would create a spreadsheet of information concerning each student with a profile on the website. It would store their name, email address, ID number, home address, school address, what kind of car they own, how many passengers their car holds, and their home college.
Collapsible Menus would be of the utmost benefit to me because this is a ton of information for each student, and it would be hard to analyze it all at one time. Instead, a collapsible menu would allow me to organize the information into easy to sort categories. Pivot tables would also be valuable so that I can analyze vast amounts of data quickly.
I would probably hire a design team to create the website, but in case I want to change the colors, I can use hexidemical color rules to tweak the colors I do not like. Using the sliding scale from 0 to F, I could make the colors darker or lighter and play with the saturation and hue. I would make sure to use RGB color since it is the mode used with a light source, or a monitor in this case.
