Title of Report (Give the report a relevant title reader of the report will understand)
Website Development for Selling Automobile Spare Parts
Executive Summary
E-Commerce websites are one of the most important aspect of the business in the
contemporary markets around the globe. With the digitization of the buying and selling
process it has been possible to develop business in the global aspect, and beyond the
geographical boundaries, across the world. The report discusses about development of
one such E-Commerce Website which sells the automobile spare parts to the clients on
the demand (Chaffey, Hemphill and Edmundson-Bird 2019). The parts are developed as per
the orders placed by the client and sold upon proper payment. For the development of
the website certain recommendations are made such that the client can have a better
idea of what the specific functionality and the requirement of the project are and how it
will be developed with proper approach and methodology.
Introduction
Include the purpose and context of the report. Include a definition of words that needs explanation. May
include the methods of investigation
The benefits of the E-Commerce website is not unknown to us. With the development of
these website, effective business solution has been developed along with enhancement
of the cost and time efficiency of the business as well as the client. They can simple
compare and buy the best product as per their needs. All these can happen just by
pressing a few buttons and entering the details of the product they want to purchase. The
purpose of the report is to make the clients aware of the E-commerce website which is

available for the purchase of the Automobile Spare parts (Shi and Yuan 2019). The report
is developed for the clients understanding about the functionalities, method of
development, requirement, findings and methodology of developing the website.
Findings
Main Body describe, compare and evaluate. From the research what was found?
It has been found out after investigation that there are several options regarding the
choosing of the language for development of the software. However, the development
team has taken numerous technical languages in consideration for the development of
the website, such as ASP.NET, Java Script and SQL Database among all other complex
languages. These languages are comparatively simpler to code and understand amongst
the other.
Methodology
As per the requirement placed by the Client. The Software Development Lifecycle
methodology will be used for the development of the website for selling the automobile
spare parts (Saxena 2019). There are numerous models which are used by the SDLC and
they are as follows:
 Waterfall Model
 Agile Model
 Iterative Model
Website Host
For the purpose of hosting the website the following are chosen:
 Go Daddy
 Hostinger
 Linux Hosting Plans
Client Server
 Apache HTTP Server
Programming Language chosen:
 Java Script
 PHP
 C++
2

 ASP.NET
Designing
For the purpose of the designing the website, the following language are chosen
 HTML
 CSS
 PHP (Tatroe and MacIntyre 2020)
Cloud
For the purpose of online operations and storage the following cloud computing
technology are taken into consideration:
 Private Cloud (Dong, Wu and Cheng 2019)
 Google Drive
 Dropbox- Third Party Cloud Computing Services
 Bitrix24.Drive
 Open Drive
Conclusion
(concluding analysis and evaluation of findings) Restate the main idea, summarise the findings.
After determining the requirements of the software development project of developing the
website, it can be concluded that the project developed with the usage of these
technologies will be successful and will run as per the expectations of the client. The
designing technologies that are taken into consideration are used for the development of
the larger and more complicated projects and is expected to work as per the demands
placed by the clients.
Recommendations
(What will be recommended that the company purchase/change or undertake to address the issues
identified?)
After detailed analysis of the project requirements and findings, certain recommendations
are suggested for the development of the website by the software development team to
the client with respect to the functionalities, methodology, tools, techniques, languages,
servers and host. This will help in the development of the website in a more systematic
manner.

Functionalities
Apart from the requirements placed by the client, the following functionalities in the
website will be extremely beneficial:
 Creating User Profiles
 Shopping Carts
 Purchase History
 Payment Gateway- Paypal, Credit Card/Master Card, Visa
 Filters- By Brand, By price, By color
 Types of spare parts
 Model Years
 User Guide
 Return Policy
 Inventories
Methodology
For the development of the website, Waterfall Model is suggested. This is because it is
one of the simplest model and each and every step has to be completed for proceeding
towards the next stage (Lemke 2018). Moreover, it helps in the departmentalization and
obtaining managerial controls. The rigidity of the model helps in development of specific
deliverables.
Programming Language
The programming language that will be considered should be less complicated such that
implementation of the change is easier in the future. Less complicated language
increases the ease of coding and modification of the codes for establishing changes in
the website as per demand becomes smoother. Thus the following two languages should
be chosen for the development of the website.
 ASP.NET
 Java Script
Website Host
The most reliable and trustworthy hosts help website to run smoothly, thus the following
are recommended for the purpose of the website.
 Hostinger
 Go Daddy
