I have a weebly website https://www.usaspiders.com/ and quite often I get emails asking me to identify a spider for them. What I really want to do is create a database that has different options for visitors to pick from to help them look up their spider.
For instance, it might give them different body shapes to select from. Below that, they have diferent legs to select from. Could be long or short, thin or thick, with spiny hairs without, with banded pattern or without, etc... Then below that they can choose abdomen colors. Leg colors. etc...
After they select the options, it would search a database and give them a list of spiders that match their choices and maybe even which ones are closest to their match. Maybe even display a picture of each match as well so they can look at it and see if it looks like their spider. FInally if they dont find a match, they can send an email.
Basically that is my hope. I have imagined cool ways to do it, with maybe actually building a picture of a spider as it goes even, but first I just need some way to allow visitors to search a database.
Is this even a possibility? Preferrably a cheap way. lol
