Overview

Many people in their 40s and older find themselves needing to share the cost of living due to losing jobs or being laid off. Many times, these people need to share living expenses and one way to do that is to find a roommate. Roommates40Plus.com is a website that allows people to submit forms based on if they’re looking for a roommate or renting a room with people needing a place to live. There will be two types of logins, one for people wanting to rent out a room and another for people wanting to rent a room for themselves. Users will be able to filter their searches by location, preferences, etc. Users have the option to chat on the site or email directly. The platform will be hosted by Wix using an easy to update design, low maintenance cost, built in database to store all user information and PayPal as a payment option for donations.
