1. Abstract: The goal of the projects is to develop a web

application in the form of online shopping system which

2. Motivation: The reason behind our motivation is the
current trends of web application integration and interactive
features. The trends of online shopping came into existence
in the early 90s. Today, there are many online shopping
systems in place but there are many problems such as handon inseption, fraud and security concern, privacy, lack of
full cost disclosure, product reviews and so on. Our project
concern is to look to the current problems, and to present a

one-stop-shop solution to the aforesaid problem in online

shopping arena.

3. Objective: The objective of our project is to develop a web

based system which provides a unique virtual shopping
experience to consumer in terms of reliability, usage and
functionality and so on. Our project will be divided in two
core modules which are front end design in java, back end
design in MySQL, hardware platform.
4. Literature Review: E-commerce is the latest development
of human history. It opens new doors for the problems
which were considered hard to solve. The idea of integrated
market and services solved many problems and today it is
not a barrier to shop at a specific location, but we can shop
wherever we want. E-commerce provides multiple
opportunities involving many challenges as well. In the past
two decades internet made significant improvement and is

expanding at a high rate. In the early 90s eBay and

Amazon were founded, and today these are the major
players in online shopping sphere. Online shopping is
expanding at high speed and have a demand from 2008 to
2009 the annual increasing rate of online shopping was
13%. Today, it can be predicted that ecommerce industry
worth multi-billion pounds of assets and market share. The
rapid growth of cheap broadband connection is the fuelling
source to surges online shopping trends. The online
business trends will explode further in the forthcoming
future because of the following services, such as in storepickups, pickups depots, mobile apps, less flash more
function, videos streaming, social networking, daily deals
and flash sales, retail based social networking, cross border
e-commerce, and deal aggregators.
The current research shows that system architecture, and
website design and structure play an important role on
ecommerce business and it will always be on top priority in
the system strategy. Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is a
methodology used to optimise search results it is also called
search engine promotion, web optimization and web ranking.
The SEO can be managed by changing the source page code

on daily basis with known keyword related to that product or

item. It is also crucial that the technology use for development
of online shopping system is reusable and compatible with
new technologies. Graphical user interface (GUI) also is in
important factor of online business it determined to attract the
customer or to lose the customer because it depends on the
presence, and use of interface friendly features.
