Progress on Server Side Project

Hey I just figured I havent posted in a while about the project that you see images of everytime you visit my blog, so here is an update on where I am today. I am still working on it, however I have made tons of progress. It is an e-commerce site that allows the user to purchase items from the site involving them with a shopping cart, the ability to sign in and out, the ability to search for specific items etc. Here is a link to where I am now:

Proposal

Purpose Statement:

The purpose of this site www.myhandbook.com is to allow the user to be able to find the right version of the bible that fits them best. They will be able to browse through bibles by age group, functionality, help books, and accessories. There will be samples from each version to give the reader an idea on what to expect if they make a purchase. There will be a functioning shopping cart that will allow the user to add, and remove items in their cart. The company that this site is for is based on giving the users the quickest, most efficient and educational way of finding the perfect bible for them. I am also planning of implementing a login and registration process to give the users a reason for return revenue.

Target Audience:

Since the site is built for selling bibles and accessories to bibles, the target audience will be mainly Christians, and possibly any others that are interested in purchasing a bible. The age group will most likely be anywhere from 18-50 years of age. This is considering college students that are engaged in bible study groups etc., and parents that purchase children’s bibles for their kids. The location of the users that will be using this site will be mainly in the United States, but purchases may be made in the U.S. and then taken elsewhere for charity work or missions. I am planning on making the design a neutral one because my target audience is not geared towards more males than females, or vice versa. The customers that visit the site are those wanting to learn how to find the right bible for them, and/or looking for accessories for their bibles. Such things like covers, bookmarks, help guides etc. The customers will also be able to see excerpts and reviews on the different versions available through the site to get an idea of what they are like. There will also be a contact page, for the customers to send any questions, comments, or concerns to the website.

Goals and Objectives:

Generate Revenue:

-To Selling bibles and accessories
