Name of the System: E-Tailer of Jaesars Jewelry

1.0 Background of the Study

Jaesars is one of the jewelers that offer a remarkably wide selection of diamond, gemstone, and pearl jewelry. The company is mainly located at the heart of Davao, San Pedro Extension, which allows us immediate access to some of the best resources in the jewelry industry. It was founded way back 15 years by adequate number of jewelry industry

experts and seasoned entrepreneurs that are equipped with sophisticated machinery enabling us to produce in bulk in a short time period. It is a privately held company and it has multiple branches in the Mindanao.

trivial by offering many care tips, sweet sayings, nice poems and fun jokes to help the customers create that extra special jewelry gift. Jaesars marked with overnight

delivery state that if a customer orders a gift by noon, it will be shipped on the same day so the gift will arrive on time. But still, time of delivery varies on distance.

Payments shall be made upon delivery and it should be in cash in order to avoid delays and bounds check. Jaesars eliminating buying the ensures the product quality and value in by

customer-conscious at every stage of production. Jaesars is looking forward to become an e-tailer of quality jewelry. They are hooked in a dilemma on how to offer their products solely through the Internet. They too requested extending a system that would provide them a wall in

their

expert jewelry advices, insider shopping

tips, unbiased jewelry reviews and a comprehensive jewelry

education.

However,

they

wanted

to

keep

all

personal

information confidential. They seek to have a system that protects customer information as it travels over the web to their secure servers. Then, protect it again in databases.

1.1

Statement of the Problem The web developers and database programmers generally

are inflicted with the dilemma on how to design and improve an e-tailer application of Jaesars Jewelry; and seek to answer these specific problems: 1. How to maintain confidentiality among customers

information? 2. How would the customers be able to post inquiries, comments and testimonies? 3. How would the customer be updated with the current prices of jewelries placed on his shopping cart? 4. How to automatically update the customers with the

prices, discounts and news feeds without logging on the page?

1.2

Objectives of the Study

The web developers and database programmers generally aim to advance the jewelry purchasing in this business

establishment in order to contend in the diverse demands of the public. The system should cater the following explicit objectives:

1.

To maintain confidentiality among customers and maintain a good rapport between the business owners and customers;

2.

To let the customers post inquiries, comments and testimonies on the wall yet upholding

security from unwanted access; 3. To update the buyers with the current price on carts while shopping; 4. To automatically update the customers with the prices, discounts and news feeds without

logging on the page; and 5. To implement an online purchasing.

1.3 Significance of the Study

This study is primarily of great significance to the proponents of the system. Skills on designing web pages and creating a database would be enhanced and from that, wide doors of job opportunities would relatively be opened.

The future researchers could also benefit the system. While the application is established, the adherents could have this as a reference and eventually develop another system that could suffice an impending issue.

Moreover, this study is essential in a business that would likely to compete in the heightening challenges. This is to produce an enormous Jaesars impact would in the emergence the of

highest quality products, values, and services through an

easy and convenient online store. It would be accessible for the customers to view the prices, avail great deals and shop without going to the jewelry store.

1.4 Scope and Limitation

The system is limited only to the online purchasing of Jaesars Jewelry at San Pedro Extension, Davao City. Only customers in Mindanao could access the system.

Therein

Moreover, the system is specified with Php and XML as the scripting language for web pages and MySQL 5.0 as the server for database. Web browsers can be Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Internet Explorer 7.0 or higher. At least two cores for processor, 2-4GB memory and 40 GB for system

1.5 Operational Feasibility

An e-purchasing system that would suffice the existing dilemma of a Jewelry shop was proposed. The system presents an alluring and comprehensive interface wherein the

internet buyers would be persuaded to navigate at the same time to register for further transaction. The company must hire a database and a web administrator, as well as network security head that are knowledgeable and skilled enough to perform handed responsibilities. In this means, the shop will no longer spend for trainings and seminars.

1.6 Technical Feasibility

Jaesars has 2-3 available computers in every branch that are enough to operate the system. Monitors are all

LCD; processors are two cores and higher; RAM ranges to 24GB and HDD of 40GB. These hardware resources can be

bought in any computer shops wherein diverse styles and specifications are offered at ranging prices and methods of payment. been Through DSL internet connection, the company has this as a way of is monitoring of great each help local in the

wherein PHP, ASP.NET, MSSQL Free Domain Name, and Unlimited Emails are included. These resources can be searched

through the internet and apply for hosting and creating domain. So, there is no need for downloading file transfer software and installer of Apache. The database uses MySQL Server 2005.

The technical expertise required for the system can be acquired since it is just like keeping records

electronically. The proposed platform is pliable for future transaction volume and encroachment so the company does not need to modify the whole system.

The reliability of the system is high due to imposed security, organized features and chosen type of database. Jaesars may tie up with another company like Paypal by

means of this system. This appropriately interface external links hence the operation would be even more efficient.

The net has become an essential portal for jewellery suppliers and stores. Choosing from the internet jewellery stores is best for buyers also, because browsing by way of different shops and certain decorations are only a matter of clicks. A lot of distinguished brands have an on the internet presence; thus, keying insure keywords on search engines like Google usually takes you to jewellery shops and their exhaustive selections, from anywhere around the world. However, there are also disadvantages which can be discussed below. This trend has grown in most parts around the globe.

online,

avoids

the

overhead costs inherent in owning a traditional jewellery story. No shipping costs or rental costs, among other

things. This means that those savings get passed onto you when the online jeweler is determining prices. This is also an advantage for those residing in smaller cities where jewellery sale isnt regular or for people who are too

busy. A buyer can go to on the internet jewellery store anytime to purchase an item of her preference. Since,

Internet shopping allows you to a wide range of shops all around the world, some of which dont exist on the high street. Online shops usually carry a much larger stock.

On the flip side of the coin, while salespeople can be at time overbearing, sometimes you actually do want to

speak to real person. That real-life interaction is quite simply not available when shopping online. That is why many people are still worried that shopping online, because it means providing private account information, is not to be trusted. But while identify theft and bank account fraud still occurs from time to time and online shipments can get lost or damaged on the way to your house. To avoid having problems with lost shipments, read your online jewellery stores policy on lost or damaged merchandise and make sure that they have some kind of insurance or warranty that

covers it. We should be aware because there are a lot of

Splash pages might include a welcome message, language or region selection, or disclaimer, however search engines, in general, favor web sites that don't do this which has caused these types of pages to fall out of favor. Each web page within a web site is a file that has its own URL. After each web page is created, they are typically linked together using a

navigation menu composed of hyperlinks.

Once a web site is completed, it must be published or uploaded in order to be viewable to the public over

the internet. This may be done using an FTP client.

This article talks about the various advantages and disadvantages associated with website design. You should

keep these in mind while designing your website.

Website designing can easily be defined as a specific skill of presenting contents, which are mainly hypertexts, usually delivered to any end user while using the World Wide Web with the help of a web browser or any other web enabled software such as internet television clients, micro blogging, auto blogging clients or as RSS readers. Website design mainly serves the purpose of creating a website with well defined electronic documents and applications which

are meant for a particular web browser, while presenting contents with interfaces to the users, in the typical form called web pages. It is mainly achieved by using HTML or XML tags. If displaying media is required, you can use

Adobe Flash, Quick Time or Java runtime environment plugins, which is usually embedded in the web pages with the help of HTML tags.

Website designing may sound easy, but there are a lot of things that need to be taken care of. Website design has lots of advantages as well as disadvantages. Web designing to promote small business world wide, offers faster product consumption for small businesses, directly communicate with customers, reduce expenses, help advertising hard-to-sell products.

However, most of the times, people feel the need of web design mainly for customization. People also ask for specific requirements which they want on their web pages. But until or unless you are proficient in HTML, catering to such enhancements is not possible at all. Sometimes it gets really difficult to provide the client with exactly what is asked for, because of some technicality involved. If you concentrate more on the look of the website, then it may affect the layout or navigation systems. Or sometimes,

using Flash or CSS can also create problem for you.

If you need better visual effects for your site, then using flash is certainly a good idea. But if you are trying to draw more visitors through SEO, then it is better to limit Flash as it may distract the visitors. But when you

For the typical web sites, the basic aspects of design are:

The content: the

and

information

the

site should be relevant to the site and should target the area of the public that the website is concerned with.

The usability: the site should be user-friendly, with

the interface and navigation simple and reliable.

The appearance: the graphics and text should include a

single style that flows throughout, to show consistency. The style should be professional, appealing and relevant.

The structure: of the web site as a whole.

These are the top 10 Security Tips for Web Designing. First is to define and assess the security risks. Define what the security a requirements policy, are, how how the information policy will is be

Second

is

to

take

holistic

view.

Information

security is not just about preventing theft or damage. It also includes ensuring your website is available, is fast enough, complying with legal and regulatory requirements, providing accurate information, preventing release of

confidential information to unauthorized users, protecting your business data and intellectual property from misuse or loss, inappropriate use, protecting your users, ensuring

business continuity and providing the ability to analyze and learn from incidents. Balance the level of security with ease of use and cost constraints.

Subsequently is not to trust anyone else's data (or your own). Your web site will have input from users, but also from other sources such as news feeds, other purchased data and the back-office systems of your own organization and perhaps of partners. All this data should be validated on input and on output to protect users and systems.

Fourth milepost. By

is

to

at into

each the

undertaking

projects mileposts and formal approval, security becomes built into the development process and security issues can be tackled as soon as possible. The earlier security is thought about, the cheaper it is to mitigate risks. Build change control methodology into the design process.

Fifth is to help the development team code securely. Good development practices should ensure that the

development team is working to a consistent framework and that developers produce high quality code. Software will always contain errors, but with training, use of

development standards and guidelines, security risks can be minimized. Ensure that you provide enough time to develop the website or web application securely not just achieve the functionality requirements.

Next

is

to

integrate

securities

into

the

testing

program. All projects must include structured testing. The threat model (see No 4 above) can be used to help create test scenarios. Security testing involves checking what is not allowed as well as the intended functionality. This requires a change in mindset for conventional testers.

Seventh is to build in audit, logging and alerting. Facilities to audit what has occurred on a website through sufficient logging will assist detection of abnormal

activity and help identify how problems occurred. By having an early warning of issues, it may be possible to reduce the effect of an incident. the logs Protect include the logs from user

alteration.

Ensure

(numeric)

identities where available and are monitored.

Another

is

to

deploy

the

website

securely.

Development, test and live environments may be configured differently and many security issues can arise because of this. The management of the setup and launch of the website needs to be undertaken in a controlled and defined way to ensure all the security controls are in place and

additional

vulnerabilities are not created. Document the

configuration and any future alterations.

Ninth is to include security in every contract and service level agreement. Define what security protection

you need from your suppliers, partners and sub-contractors. Use the same processes to assess their security as Identify security what security will monitoring be detected you you and

In addition, new information and changes should also be fairly easy to input. In order to have a highly efficient database system, you need to incorporate a program that manages the queries and information stored on the system.

Database design plays a major role in the stability and the reliability of data. Although there are a number of rules that can be followed in designing a database

structure, the design process is as much an art as it is a science. Follow these rules when at all possible, but not to the point where the database loses the functionality that is so important to the user.

Doing a paper design first has several advantages: It saves time, money, and problems; Makes system more

reliable;

avoids

potential

data-modification

problems;

Serves as a blueprint for discussion; Helps in estimating costs and size; A good design should have the following objectives: Meet the users' needs; Solve the problem; Be free of modification anomalies; Have a reliable and stable

database, where the tables are as independent as possible; and Be easy to use.

The following

design

of

the

database

structure

requires of

the your

steps:

Determine

the

purpose

database - Knowing the purpose will help you decide which facts you want to store; List the facts about the objects; Determine the tables you need - When you have a clear

purpose for your database, you can divide your information into separate subjects, such as "Employees" or "Orders"; Determine the fields you need - Decide what information you want to keep in each table. Each category of information in a table is called a field and is displayed as a column when you browse the table. For example, one field in an Employee table could be Last_name; another could be Hire_date.

Determine the relationships Look at each table and decide how the data in one table is related to the data in other tables. Add fields to tables or create new tables to

clarify the relationships, as necessary. Determine the key and linking columns and determine the constraints. Refine your design - Analyze your design for errors. Create the tables and add a few records of sample data. See if you can get the results you want from your tables. Make adjustments

to the design as needed. Evaluate the design model then implement the database.

To organize our database, we need to normalize. This includes creating tables and establishing relationships between those tables according to rules designed both to protect the data and to make the database more flexible by eliminating redundancy and inconsistent dependency.

Redundant data wastes disk space and creates maintenance problems. If data that exists in more than one place must be changed, the data must be changed in exactly the same way in all locations. A customer address change is much easier to implement if that data is stored only in the Customers table and nowhere else in the database.

What is an "inconsistent dependency"? Inconsistent dependencies can make data difficult to access because the path to find the data may be missing or broken.

There are a few rules for database normalization. Each rule is called a "normal form." If the first rule is

observed, the database is said to be in "first normal form."

First Normal Form

Eliminate repeating groups in individual tables. Create a separate table for each set of related data. Identify each set of related data with a primary key.

Do not use multiple fields in a single table to store similar data. For example, to track an inventory item that may come from two possible sources, an inventory record may contain fields for Vendor Code 1 and Vendor Code 2.

What happens when you add a third vendor? Adding a field is not the answer; it requires program and table

modifications and does not smoothly accommodate a dynamic number of vendors. Instead, place all vendor information in a separate table called Vendors, then link inventory to vendors with an item number key, or vendors to inventory with a vendor code key.

Second Normal Form

Create separate tables for sets of values that apply to multiple records.

Relate these tables with a foreign key. Records should not depend on anything other than a

table's primary key (a compound key, if necessary).

For

example,

consider

customer's

address

in

an

accounting system. The address is needed by the Customers table, but also by the Orders, Shipping, Invoices, Accounts Receivable, and Collections tables. Instead of storing the customer's address as a separate entry in each of these tables, store it in one place, either in the Customers

table or in a separate Addresses table.

Third Normal Form

Eliminate fields that do not depend on the key.

Values in a record that are not part of that record's key do not belong in the table. In general, any time the contents of a group of fields may apply to more than a single record in the table, consider placing those fields in a separate table.

EXCEPTION: Adhering to the third normal form, while

theoretically desirable, is not always practical. If you have a Customers table and you want to eliminate all

possible interfield dependencies, you must create separate tables customer for cities, ZIP codes, other sales representatives, that may be

classes,

and

any

factor

duplicated in multiple records. In theory, normalization is worth pursing. However, many small tables may degrade

performance or exceed open file and memory capacities.

It may be more feasible to apply third normal form only to data that changes frequently. If some dependent fields remain, design your application to require the user to verify all related fields when any one is changed.
