Background

Web technology relates to the interface between web servers and their clients. It includes markup languages, programming interfaces and languages, and standards for document identification and display. Though Web Technology can mean many things, the general idea is that it is used because it can reach many people all over the world on multiple platforms and operating systems, to make the Internet more powerful and easier to use. Web technology is one of the most important examples of modern science for development in the information sector. Everything nowadays is based on web technology and used by most people, offices, and medical, and engineering, business, industries, and hospitals, educational institute and many other fields. It also helps people of different sectors to promote their business, helps get connected and to get help in study related problem and information about the world as well. Internet is the base of web technology. Due to these advantages we choose web technology for our project and the great way to explore in the field of web technology is through ecommerce sector. Electronic commerce, commonly known as e-commerce, is a type of industry where the buying and selling of products or services is conducted over electronic systems such as the Internet and other computer networks. Electronic commerce is generally considered to be the sales aspect of e-business. It also consists of the exchange of data to facilitate the financing and payment aspects of business transactions. This is an effective and efficient way of communicating within an organization and one of the most effective and useful ways of conducting business. Online shopping is a form of electronic commerce which allows consumers to directly buy goods or services from a seller over the Internet using a web browser. Online shopping has grown in popularity over the years, mainly because people find it convenient and easy to bargain shop from the comfort of their home or office. One of the most enticing factor about online shopping, particularly during a holiday season, is it alleviates the need to wait in long lines or search from store to store for a particular item. It is not entirely a new concept to grasp. It has been lingering in the background ever since the Internet was commercially available to the public. Although online shopping continues to grow, there are problems why consumers hesitate to shop online. In this project, the main aim is to demonstrate that with better interaction features in online shopping could improve sales over the net.

Problem statement
There are many advantages of online shopping such as incredible convenience, price comparisons, infinite choice, easy access to consumer reviews, no pressure sales. But there are many problems we must deal with during the period of project completion. They are: To choose between the programming languages best suitable for the task was challenging. So learning basics of few languages was necessary. Ecommerce is a business so learning of account related problem was also done since account related calculation is critical in business. Keeping features friendly is also the important aspect so deep study of working mechanism of ecommerce website is also an important process to deal. Maintaining favorable environment for the website will be also tedious. To have the proper knowledge and features of the platforms we are dealing in which we are programming.

Research/ Project Objectives

The primary aim of this project is to demonstrate that with better interactive features in web sites could improve sales for online retailers. The main advantage of this project was to understand the web technology more clearly and implement it in the field of ecommerce along with to provide information and updates of various types of products to customers with lots of user friendly features. Since our single website may be used for providing information of products and updates of new arrivals which enables the user to use this website and get the information about the needed products in more simpler way. The main objectives of the project are as follows: To learn about the Online Shopping industry. To investigate potential problems with Online Shopping and resolve it in our project. To create a prototype website focusing on one of the many problems that arises within Online Shopping. To evaluate the prototype with an existing online shopper.

Project Methodology
The webpage that we are going to develop follows different procedures. The procedures will be completed by using our own knowledge along with consulting our teachers, senior students, reading different websites or blogs, taking tutorial guidelines written by reputed programmers and by generating ideas by reading different eBooks related to php, mySql and database. Some main classifications of procedures are listed below: Topic selection with requirement analysis: In this phase we select the appropriate topic and requirements for development of our webpage. While developing we will use windows operating system, Dreamweaver with xampp. Program coding and testing: While coding for our webpage we will use php language with Dreamweaver. MySql is used to extract the information from database. Xampp is used to connect to php. While coding we will test each modules in effective way. Debugging: When we get errors in our program then we will immediately try to solve them. Development and documentation: When we make our program free from error then we will create installation package with proper user guides and other essential components to run our website.

Expected output:
The output we are expecting is to create a prototype website which will be capable of informing new arrivals of products, advertisement of products and to sell useful products etc to the customers. A friendly feature is also an important expected result in our project.
