having products in their cart, then website will ask to add product in cart
first.
On the contrary, designing web applications is characterized by
some constraints and limitations. Developers are limited to a small set of
graphical widgets for use in presenting a user interface. Web-based
applications require high investment in software, as well as maintenance
costs for the software and personnel for software administration. In this
study, verification of credentials for membership cannot be done. Besides,
there is a payment page although just for demo.
Customers are advised to fill in pseudo details (DONT FILL YOUR
ORIGINAL CARD DETAILS THERE). By the way, website do not save these
details.
1.7 RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
The research method used for this project work is quantitative research
reviews the current system, provide its description, identifying the

discrepancies and eventually giving a suitable solution. Therefore, the
method used in the design and collections of information from various
sources are as follows:
Studying the present system in detail and the organizational style.
Knowing and understanding the input and output
processes of the existing system.
12
A qualitative form of interview was conducted in
the organization to understand the mode of
operation of the old system.

the website and within a few mice clicks they are off. Such simplicity is
what makes online shopping appealing for consumers. The question is,

CHAPTER THREE
3.1. Methodology
3.1.1. Introduction
This Section describes the methodology applied during the
development of Ecommerce retails store. A methodology is a model,
which project managers employ for the design, planning,
implementation and achievement of their project objectives. Effective
project management is essential in absolutely any organization,
regardless of the nature of the business and the scale of the
organization. From choosing a project to right through to the end, it is
important that the project is carefully and closely managed. Based on the
nature of my project solution, it was essential to use incremental
Software development life cycle (SDLC). .
3. 1. 2 Justification for the Methodology
This model can be used when the requirements of the complete system
are clearly defined and understood, like the case of this project where;
Major requirements were evidently defined; however, some details evolved with
time.
There was a need to complete the project within a short time schedule.
A new technology is being used or the resources with needed skill
set are not available. I was learning Flask and Django and could
iterate from one technology to another to ensure I effective
implement all the functionalities.
The project had some high-risk features and goals.
