We have created our own project website to introduce AllerScan. Rather than utilizing online website WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) editors such as Wix or WordPress, we made the decision to develop our own platform.

Our choice stemmed from the desire to exercise greater control over design specifics and avoid limitations imposed by online website tool providers. By taking this approach, we aim to assume complete ownership of our website and liberate ourselves from dependency on these companies.

For instance, our website is designed with Responsive Web Design (RWD), guaranteeing an optimal viewing experience across various devices such as laptops, tablets, and smartphones. Furthermore, we have the ability to customize the icon and title displayed at the top of browser windows. Importantly, our site will not feature the banner advertisements of Wix or any other third-party company at its masthead.

AllerScan is a program that compares ingredients from an input image of a cosmetic ingredients list with our comprehensive allergen database. It checks whether any common allergens are present in the cosmetic product associated with the inputted ingredient list image.
