BACKGROUND

The emergence of information technology has changed the way in which business is being
conducted. According to Shaun Pather (2006), “of the various uses found for the internet and the
web, one of the most important was its adoption by organisations to facilitate their business with
both customers and suppliers alike”. Organization has identified the need of integrating web
technology into businesses in other to have competitive edge over market rivals. The growth of the
internet, globalisation of trade, and the rise of information economics, has recast the role of
information systems in business and management. According to Mare Andreessen, “there were 800
million internet users worldwide by the end of 2004 (Maney 2004), and that number is expected to
reach 3 billion in the next decade”. The internet provides a global access for businesses to cut across
geographical boundaries reaching out to a worldwide audience through web pages.

I therefore have decided to incorporate my IT skills in designing a quality car sales website that
conforms to the set out standard of a good website.

AIMS

The aim is to design a dynamic website for car sales. The website will incorporate the sales of both
used and new cars. However, the scope of this project will not include online transaction; all
transaction will be done via telephone.

OBJECTIVES

1. To analyse the layout of the design of my website.

2. To analyse the functions that is expected from the website.
3. To accurately choose the right programming language and software tool for implementation
phase.
4. To accurately link the front end (web interface) with the back end (database)
5. To test every aspect of the proposed website.
6. To come up with a final report on the makeup, functionality and usability of the website.

SCOPE AND APPROACH

usability and functionality of a good website. In achieving this milestone I will do the under-listed;

 I will ensure the website reliable and consistent.

 I will ensure all the website components are properly working.
 Since, I will be using RAD which is an iterative process. I will thus, maintain a constant check
on my project at every stage of development, in other to achieve the expected result.
