1. Identifying user requirements of EventLightTM
The user requirements of EventLightTM is a database driven website so that they can
achieve their basic requirements and needs. As the company has been recently established, they
want to involve a great range of the operations that can attract the customers to a huge extent and
thus can further help in increasing their popularity as well as productivity rate. Their actual forte
is to make an organisation of the venues on the website and also, they can sell tickets on the
same as well. For getting the attention of the customers, EventLightTM want that on the website,
the whole list of events can be visible in a way that the customers can easily access and
understand it. Also, they want their should be an option to book tickets online so that it can seem
easy enough for the customers as well. Therefore, EventLightTM is focusing on including a
variety of such feasible options that can be able enough to attract a higher rate of customers and
also, it will however help in maximizing the rate of productivity as well.
Also, their requirement is to make involvement of featured events as well on the home
page, which means involving the details and pictures of the recent happened events in order to
grab the attention of the customers. So, enabling the online sales is also considered as an
essential requirement of the EventLightTM . Also, the company want that the events can
classified in a few categories such as comedy, theatre etc. so it can seem easy enough for the
customers to find it. There are some essential factors that the company wants to have whiled the
customer investigates the data such as exact time and date, cost of tickets etc. As there are
various factors that the company needs to involve, so EventLightTM can opt for social media
integration because this is considered as an effective way for increasing their popularity rate so
that more people can get to know about it. Therefore, it can also help in increasing their rate of
productivity as well (Sakas, Vlachos and Nasiopoulos, 2014). This can be done by making their
whole content shareable enough through various factors such as by making involvement of the
search engine optimisation etc. Increasing the visibility of the content further helps in improving
the user experience which further helps in maintaining their interests in the company and that can
be termed as an effective factor for maintaining a better competitive range in the market place.
Also, they can involve the feature of online mapping through which the customers who had
booked some event and are unable to find the exact location, then through means of online
mapping, they can get the location of the specific event. This can in turn also act as another
essential function completing the requirements of EventLightTM.

2. Implementing the design of the components based on the requirements
In achieving all the requirements of EventLightTM, it is very important that the
implementation of all the design components have been done in an efficient and appropriate
manner. Design components are considered as a range of factors that helps in a better re
usability of the features, whether they are involved in the applications or the documents of the
web. The design components are also classified as major and essential parts of the component
based software processes as well and it reflects to each single feature of the world wide web as
well. All the design components and their analysis has been discussed as under :
Cross browser compatibility
One of the major requirement of EventLightTM is that the company wants that all the
venues and events should be linked with each other and also, on the basis of a classification of
event types, the customers can only be able to see in which they are interested in. Also, as it has
been observed in various cases that there are some websites that does not act compatible enough
for every browser. For avoiding this issue, EventLightTM has decided to make involvement of the
cross browser compatibility feature while the implementation of the website so that the users can
be able to access the website in any browser (Yahaya, Deraman and Ibrahim, 2018). There
should be no sort of restriction to be used in different browsers. Also, this can be quite irritating
for the customers as well. Therefore, EventLightTM wants the cross browser compatibility
featured to be developed in the website so that users can have easy access.
Social media integration
Social media integration is considered as an aspect that does not only helps in improving
the marketing of EventLightTM but will also will help in a regular promotion of the company and
its products. In actually, social media marketing is considered as the factor that helps in making
involvement of various ways that the company can involve in order to promote their content by
different means. A very common example of this can be considered as using search engine
optimisation in which the company can paste the link of the website to various different locations
but they should be popular enough to have a great number of audience. It will help as when
people will visit those websites and pages, there is a possibility that they might click on the link
of website as well.
Logical navigational structure

Also, another essential design components that is required is that the website of the
EventLightTM should have a proper and structure navigation factor. It is because after booking
the tickets for some event or venue, there may be the possibility that the customer might not be
able to locate the place (Fischer, 2016). So, for resolving this issue, EventLightTM can make sure
to involve the navigation factor appropriately so that the customers can easily locate the location.
Online mapping is considered as one of the essential features that can help in easing the
customer's needs. Thus, these can be classified as the design components and its importance in
the whole process of designing and implementation of the website.
3. Development of the prototype Dynamic website
In the designing of a prototype dynamic website, there are various factors that needs to be
considered. Also, as EventLightTM wants a database driven website, so it is very important that
the implementation of database has been done in a way that the company may not have to face
any issue or complication regarding the website such as dissatisfaction of the customers as in
case of some factor being unresponsive such as getting the location etc. The implementation of
database should be done on the required hardware and also, optimising it is necessary as well
after the implementation phase. So, EventLightTM should ensure that the database is being
implemented on the hardware successfully. The hardware should have enough storage space so
that it can be able enough to store a large record. It is because as the website of EventLight TM
will be acquiring various features that can provide a better experience to the customers. Some
well known and common examples include providing the GPS location to the customers,
different categories of events so that on the basis of that, it can seem easy for the customers to
get the detail of the factor that is required. Also, the platform for software should be chosen
effectively as well during the implementation of the database.
After the database has been implemented, then it can load the data and information
which is required to be on screen. In actual, the implementation of the database for developing
the database driven website for EventLightTM means the conversion of the conceptual ideas and
thoughts in a logical way. A proper code is being made in order to make the database as per the
conceptual ideas. There are various steps involved in the process of designing and implementing
the database and some very common examples includes making divisions of the data in specific
tables, making columns for the data items, identifying the primary keys and then setting up of the
relations. After all this, the design is redefined once again and normalisation is implemented as
3

well. These are the internal factors that are being achieved for a successful designing and
implementation. Also, client and server side scripting can be used as well while during the
development of the website of EventLightTM. Client side is considered to be the factor which is
usually known for running of the scripts and can be considered as a browser. On the system of
end user, all the processing takes place. On the internet, the source codes are present, so the same
are being deliver to the user on their systems on request. On the system of the client, the scripting
is being done. Also, there is another factor that helps in providing a sort of security. It is because
if the authorities at EventLightTM are much concerned about the security, they have an option to
switch off the scripting. Usually, a pop alert pops on the screen of the user. On the other hand,
server side scripting is usually considered as a web browser (Bobykin and Tormasov, 2015).
These are also known for running the scripts. In this, an individual or user can directly
request on scripting over a web page for getting the required HTML pages. After that the same is
being send to the client side. EventLightTM Can make use of the server side scripting because it
is considered as quite positive and beneficial as compared to the client side scripting. The
advantage of making involvement of the server side scripting in EventLightTM is that it is highly
customised and is responsive enough to the requirements of the user. Whether it is about
accessing the rights or other factors such as queries etc., server side scripting can ensure
EventLightTM this feature. So by making use of a database that has been successfully
implemented and also the server and client side scripting because it can actually act responsive
enough which means that the website will also be responsive in order to complete the queries of
the customers. In many cases such as before booking tickets, the customers might want to check
out the previous events, their details and pictures (Maiti, 2018). So, these can be considered as
effective and appropriate factors while the development of the website for managing events and
various operations of EventLightTM.
4. Evaluating proposed solution
EventLightTM has made a proposed structure which is acquiring all the requirements of
the company so that it can help in an overall satisfaction of the customers thus the company can
attain the popularity and productivity at much higher rates. As per the requirements of
EventLightTM , the requirements are that the customers can be able to search and get the details of
the events on the website very easily. For this, all the events have been divided category wise
such as comedy, live bands etc. It has been involved so that the customers may not get confused,
4

instead they can easily identify the area in which they are interested in. Also, it involves the
featured events which must be including the details of some recent event happened. It is because
this can actually help in grabbing the attention of the people at higher rates (Yahaya, Ibrahim
and Deraman, 2017). So, for coping with the requirements, various different solutions have been
proposed which includes some specialised features that can actually prove helpful the website of
EventLightTM to achieve their targets at a much faster rate along with a great number of satisfied
customers as well. There have been various factors included in the designing of the website that
can actually help in developing the website in a way that it involves every single feature required
and can be able to provide a rate of satisfaction to the customers by resolving each of their
queries and issues. The factors that have been involved in the proposed solution involves social
media integration, online mapping etc.
The website have been developed in a way that it can run on any platform. It has been
developed in a way that it is compatible to get compiled on any platform, whether it is about any
specified browser or using any other devices than system such as tablets, mobile etc. It is because
the website has been made cross browser compatible. Therefore, this can be considered as one of
the essential features of the proposed solutions. Also, EventLightTM can involve a better social
integration by involving various ways. Some very common and well known examples of it can
be considered as the means of search engine optimisation, promoting through the means of
advertisements etc. The company can make use of the search engine optimisation as in this, they
can copy and paste the link of their website in different platforms but the fact that is to be
ensured here is that the platforms should be popular enough and also, the link should be broken
etc. It is because if in case the link is broken and people click it, it can add up a negative review
of the same and that can affect their popularity as well (Law-How-Hung, Shahdousti and
Lomenzo, 2017). So, copying and then pasting the original link on the websites that are popular
can help in increasing the popularity rate of the website. Also, online mapping can be involved as
well because when the customers will search for different places for events and venues and after
they will book tickets for some specific event or venue, there is a possibility that they might not
be able to locate the direction of the event or venue. So, in such cases, the online mapping
feature of the EventLightTM website can help the people to get a proper location by which they
can easily reach there. Using different means of social media integration can help EventLightTM
a better promotion rate. A very common example of this that can be included involves the fact
5

that EventLightTM can involve is that they can create a few small videos as an advertisement etc.
but it should be attractive enough that then people see, they can seem attracted enough with that.
Also, the content should be appropriate enough so that no information or data about some
event or venue can seem to be unauthentic after visiting it (Kleinschmidt, Rilov and Gerlach,
2016). Also, the website of EventLightTM must have designed in a way that it is compatible
enough for running and compiling in any device other than systems such as mobiles, tablets etc.
This is another essential feature of the proposed solutions because this feature cannot restrict
anyone to use the website in some single platform only, rather it is compatible enough in any
browser as well as device. Also, the navigation process has been structured in a way that it will
show only authentic and real directions to the user because any issue or error in the navigation of
the website can lead to the dis comfort of the customer and also, it can make the person
disappointed enough with the structure and operations of the EventLightTM. Therefore, these are
classified as some factors that are a part of the proposed solution of the company in order to
design and implement a website that can help the customers of EventLightTM to view all the
details about events so that they can book the one in which they are interested in. Also, the
features have been developed in a way that it can seem easy enough for the customers to make
use of the website and perform the operations.
5. Analysing future considerations and other essential features
While the implementation of the website in EventLightTM, the company should ensure the
fact that all the factors and processes are to be added in a way that it cannot cause any sort of
complication in the future. The factors that needs to be considered involves usability,
maintenance of the website. It is because this is not about developing the website only, but in a
way that it can act able enough to help the company in achieving all the objectives and targets in
an effective and appropriate manner. The website should be usable enough that it satisfies all the
requirements of the customers (Alexander and Walker, 2016). As the basic forte of EventLightTM
is that the customers can view all the details of the events and venues and also can book the
ticket if they want, thus the company should ensure that all the events are being demonstrated
under different categories so that it can seem easy for the customer to choose what they want.
Also, there should be appropriate time and date for each event because any sort of error in that
can actually waste much amount of time of the customer and also can lead to the break of the
trust of the customer for the company. Therefore, it should be reliable enough. Also, for its
6

maintenance, there should be essential preventive measures as if in case, some important feature
does not work such as navigation of the location etc., Then in such cases, EventLightTM should
have proper support available so that the issue can be resolved as soon as possible. Therefore, for
maintaining a proper rate of usability and maintenance, EventLightTM should ensure involving
every essential feature. By such means, they can be able to gain a satisfied and trusted number of
customers, which can further help in increasing the overall rate of popularity as well as
productivity of the company.
