Computer Engineering

E-commerce provides an easy way to sell products to a large customer base. However, there is a lot of competition among multiple e-commerce sites. When users land on an e-commerce site, they expect to find what they are looking for quickly and easily. Also, users are not sure about the brands or the actual products they want to purchase. They have a very broad idea about what they want to buy. Many customers nowadays search for their products on Google rather than visiting specific e-commerce sites. They believe that Google will take them to the e-commerce sites that have their product .In this era of internet , e-commerce is growing by leaps and bounds keeping the growth of brick-and-mortar businesses in the dust. In many cases, brick-and-mortar businesses are resorting to having a counterpart which is internet or e-commerce driven. People in the developed world and a growing number of people in the developing world now use e-commerce websites on a daily basis to make their everyday purchases. Still the proliferation of e-commerce in the under-developed world is not that great and there is a lot to desire for. This paper outlines different aspects of developing an e-commerce website and the optimum solution to the challenges involved in developing one. It consists of the planning process, which starts with determining the use case, domain modeling and architectural pattern of the web application. The entire development process is primarily divided into two parts: the front-end development and the back end development. The database design is also discussed with an emphasis on its relational connectivity. This no-nonsense method of developing an e-commerce website can be easily replicated and followed in developing e-commerce websites in the developing and under-developed countries where computing resources are scarce and expensive because of their socio-economic condition.
