CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
E-commerce was coined back in the 1960s, with the rise of electronic commerce – the
buying and selling of goods through the transmission of data – which was made possible by
the introduction of the electronic data interchange. Fast forward fifty years and e-commerce
has changed the way in which society sells goods and services.
In today's world, every retail shop owner faces the problem of constant fall of customers,
reason being the digital platforms taking over the business world. In order to survive the
entrepreneur competition going on, the local shop owners now have to take their business
strategies to a new level, by including the digitalization and e-marketing for their business.
They need to provide the clients/customers door-step service, where they can provide the
customer the most reliable and an easy service. An e-commerce website is one that allows
people to buy and sell physical goods, services, and digital products over the internet rather
than at a brick and-mortar location. Through an e-commerce website, a business can process
orders, accept payments, manage shipping and logistics, and provide customer service.
It’s tough to imagine daily life without e-commerce. We order Electronics, clothes, and
furniture; we register for classes and other online services; we download books, music, and
movies; and so much more. Ecommerce has taken root and is here to stay. From a bigger
perspective, every website on the internet is the E-Commerce Website. It can be the
platform, it can be a marketplace, it can be a portal, it can be apps, it can be an entertainment
website, shopping website, online courses website and online degree college.
We have taken over this project of developing a website for an authorized computer
hardware products dealer to help him make profits in the earning and provide the customers
the features that can ease their problems regarding buy.
• Product Variety: Explore a vast array of products from diverse categories, ensuring
you find exactly what you're looking for.
7
• Efficient Search and Filters: Easily locate products with our advanced search and
filtering options, saving you time and effort.
• Order Tracking: Stay informed about your order status with real-time tracking,
ensuring you know exactly when your purchase will arrive.
• Customer Support: Our dedicated customer support team is ready to assist you
with any queries or concerns
1.1 Identification of Client /Need / Relevant Contemporary issue
Ecommerce website is currently one of the most important emerging and thriving sectors of
web marketing. It has expanded faster over the past years and is expected to keep growing
at an accelerating rate.
From an end user’s perspective, ecommerce websites are very convenient to purchase
products and services online. The process is often very quick as the customers can place
orders in a relatively short period of time, without having to leave their homes or offices.
Moreover, customers can purchase from several businesses without having to physically
move around. Customers and potential buyers can be provided with a lot of information
that make their shopping experience quicker and easier as well as improved customer
service. They will also have the opportunity to purchase products and service 24/7
comfortably and conveniently. Allowing customers to shop for the comfort and
convenience of their own homes at any time can increase business sales and potentially the
customers’ loyalty. Most importantly, ecommerce websites enable a business to keep
consumers happy and constantly change to adapt.
Recognition of relevant contemporary issues:

The purpose of creating this Web Application is to outcast the discrepancies in hundreds of
such existing systems on the World Wide Web. Before E-commerce peoples refers to the
commercial transactions or exchange of information, buying or selling product/services from
person to person. In traditional commerce it is difficult to establish and maintain standard
practices. One of the major issues of traditional commerce is that it is difficult to create and
maintain standard practices because of the absence of a regulator. This can lead to different
8
standards being set for the same product within the same market. This creates confusion and
distrust among the buyers. This problem is solved in the case of e-commerce since there is
a regulating website on which all the products are put up for sale. There is a compulsion to
follow the rules because otherwise, the product can get banned from that online market.
In traditional commerce, the transaction of money is manual. Money is given in paper or

coin form in exchange for goods.
However, in the case of e-commerce, the most common form of transaction is cashless.
People can directly transfer money to the seller through their bank accounts or through e-
wallets. The internet facilitates a wide range of transactions that are outside the scope of
traditional commerce. One of the monumental advantages of e-commerce is its reach. In
traditional commerce, the market is limited to the marketplace surrounding it. However, e-
commerce is limited to nothing short of the entire world.
1.2 Identification of Problem

Poor User Experience (UX)
Problem: Many e-commerce sites suffer from complex navigation, slow loading times, and non-
responsive designs, leading to a frustrating shopping experience. A website that is difficult to
navigate or doesn't perform well on mobile devices can significantly deter potential customers.
Lack of Personalization
Problem: A one-size-fits-all approach to content, product recommendations, and promotions fails
to meet the individual needs and preferences of users. In the era of data-driven marketing, not
personalizing the shopping experience can result in missed opportunities for engagement and sales.
Security Concerns
Problem: With increasing incidents of data breaches and cyber-attacks, consumers are becoming
more concerned about the security of their personal and financial information when shopping online.
E-commerce platforms that cannot guarantee high levels of security may lose customer trust and face
reputational damage.
Inefficient Customer Support

Problem: E-commerce lacks the face-to-face interaction available in traditional retail settings
9
without efficient customer support mechanisms, such as live chat or AI-driven assistance, shoppers
may feel neglected, especially when encountering issues or needing guidance on purchases.
Limited Accessibility
Problem: Not all e-commerce websites are designed with accessibility in mind, making it difficult
for users with disabilities to shop online. This oversight not only alienates a significant segment of
the market but also does not comply with legal standards in many regions.
Proposed Solutions:
Enhancing UX: Implement a user-centric design that prioritizes simplicity, speed, and
responsiveness across all devices.
Personalization: Utilize AI and machine learning to offer personalized product recommendations
and tailor content based on user behavior and preferences.
Strengthening Security: Integrate advanced encryption methods, secure payment solutions, and
blockchain technology to protect user data and build trust.
Improving Customer Support: Deploy AI-driven chatbots and virtual assistants to provide real-
time assistance and improve customer service.
Increasing Accessibility: Follow web accessibility guidelines (WCAG) to ensure the site is usable
for people with a wide range of disabilities.
Significance:
1. Enhancing User Experience (UX)

A positive UX is crucial for retaining customers and encouraging repeat business. An intuitive, fast,
and responsive website can significantly reduce bounce rates and increase conversion rates.
Moreover, a well-designed UX improves brand perception and can be a key differentiator in a
crowded market.
2. Personalization
Personalization enhances the shopping experience by making it more relevant to the individual
consumer. By showing customers products and offers that align with their interests and purchase
history, an e-commerce site can increase the likelihood of sales. Personalization also fosters customer
loyalty, as shoppers are more likely to return to a site that understands their preferences.
10
3. Strengthening Security
In an era where data breaches are increasingly common, ensuring the security of customer data is
paramount. By safeguarding personal and financial information, an e-commerce platform not only
complies with legal standards but also builds trust with its customers. Trust is a critical component
of customer loyalty and can influence a shopper's decision to choose one platform over another.
4. Improving Customer Support

Efficient and accessible customer support is essential for resolving issues quickly and keeping
customers satisfied. Good customer support can turn a potentially negative shopping experience into
a positive one, thereby enhancing customer retention. In the absence of physical interaction, effective
online support mechanisms are vital for maintaining a positive relationship with customers.
5. Increasing Accessibility
Significance: Making e-commerce platforms accessible to everyone, including people with
disabilities, not only expands the market reach but also demonstrates corporate social responsibility.
Accessibility can enhance brand image and loyalty among a wider audience. Furthermore, in many
regions, accessibility is not just good practice but a legal requirement, making it essential for
compliance and avoiding potential legal repercussions.
Overall Significance:
Addressing these problems is significant for several reasons:
Competitive Advantage: In a highly competitive online marketplace, providing a superior shopping

experience can set an e-commerce site apart from its competitors.
Economic Efficiency: Streamlining operations and improving the customer experience can lead to
cost savings, higher conversion rates, and increased average order values.
Brand Loyalty and Reputation: A secure, personalized, and user-friendly shopping experience
builds brand loyalty and a positive reputation, encouraging word-of-mouth marketing and repeat
business.
Legal and Ethical Compliance: Ensuring data security and accessibility not only meets legal
requirements but also reflects ethical business practices, contributing to a positive social impact.

HTML (Hypertext Markup Language): The fundamental building block of webpages, used to
structure content. HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) is the standard markup language used to
create and structure content on the web. HTML provides a set of elements or tags that define the
structure of a webpage.
CSS (Cascading Style Sheets): Used for styling and layout of the website, controlling how elements
are presented on the screen.
JavaScript: A programming language that adds interactivity and dynamic behaviour to your
website. It's often used for animations, user input handling, and real-time updates.
PHP: Commonly used in web development, especially with platforms like WordPress and
WooCommerce. PHP (Hypertext Preprocessor) is a server-side scripting language widely used for
web development. It is a versatile and powerful language that allows developers to create dynamic
and interactive web applications.
13
Laravel: Laravel is a powerful and elegant PHP web application framework that follows the model-
view-controller (MVC) architectural pattern. It is designed to make the development process more
enjoyable and efficient by providing expressive syntax, conventions, and tools for tasks commonly
needed in modern web development.
SCSS: stands for "Sassy CSS," and it's a type of preprocessor scripting language that is interpreted
or compiled into Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). SCSS files are essentially CSS files with added
functionality like variables, nesting, and mixins, which make CSS more maintainable and easier to
write.
ARTISAN: Artisan typically refers to a command-line tool included with the Laravel PHP
framework. Laravel is a popular open-source PHP framework known for its elegant syntax and
developer-friendly features. Artisan provides a range of commands to assist with various tasks during
the development process, such as:
Generating code: Artisan can generate boilerplate code for various components of your application,
including controllers, models, migrations, views, and more. For example, you can use php artisan
make: controller to create a new controller file.
Managing database migrations: Laravel uses migrations to manage changes to your database
schema over time. Artisan commands like php artisan migrate allow you to run these migrations to
update your database schema accordingly.
Clearing caches: Artisan includes commands to clear various caches used by Laravel, such as the
application cache (php artisan cache: clear) and the configuration cache (php artisan config: clear).
Running tests: Laravel applications often include tests to ensure code quality and prevent
regressions. Artisan commands like php artisan test can be used to run these tests.
Managing queues: Laravel includes a powerful queue system for managing background jobs.
Artisan provides commands for managing queues, such as starting a queue worker (php artisan
queue: work).

1. Plagiarism Report
The issue of plagiarism is serious in both professional and academic contexts. The highest
attention to detail has been used in this project to guarantee the authenticity and uniqueness of
the content. We can state with confidence that there is no evidence of plagiarism in this report's
contents since the project team thoroughly examined it and used reliable plagiarism detection
techniques. Every source that was used has been correctly referenced and cited in compliance
with the rules. Any similarities discovered are either appropriately ascribed to this report's
original work or fall within the purview of common knowledge. We have maintained honesty
and ethical behavior throughout the project's growth since we hold these values in the greatest
respect.
This project has been thoroughly examined to determine its originality and compliance with
ethical writing practices, as part of the ongoing process of upholding academic integrity. All
parts of this report have been carefully examined using industry-standard plagiarism detection
software. None of the cases of content theft or unethical use of ideas from outside sources found
during the analysis were found. The group made certain that all references, paraphrases, and
quotes from outside sources were properly cited using the predetermined procedures. We
declareunequivocally that the team's sincere efforts are reflected in this report in its entirety,
and that any similarities found stem from shared knowledge or properly cited material.
2. Design Checklist
This project's interactive and visual elements were diligently created using an extensive design
checklist. Using Figma, a collaborative interface design tool, the initial blueprint and user
interface were created. Our team spent a lot of time throughout the project converting the Figma
design into a real, workable prototype. The design checklist covered a wide range of topics, such
as layout consistency, responsive design considerations, colour schemes, typography, and
conformity to accessibility guidelines. To guarantee accuracy in implementation, every
66
component was carefully examined and matched with the initial Figma prototypes. To close the
gap between design conceptualization and actualization, designers, developers, and quality
assurance collaborated cross-functionally throughout the iterative process.
To confirm the accuracy of the applied design elements, the design checklist was also put
through the testing phases. To ensure a flawless interface, user-friendly dynamic UI, usability
testing, compatibility checks with various devices and browsers, and user experience evaluations
were carried out. This careful attention to detail was done to make sure that the finished product-
maintained usability, accessibility, and overall user satisfaction while also mirroring the Figma
design. Throughout the project, the conversion from design to implementation was a key focus,
and the finished product is evidence of the care and attention to detail that went into turning the
intended design into a workable reality.
