 ABSTRACT
In today's interconnected world, web development has become an essential
aspect of our digital landscape. It encompasses the creation, design, and
maintenance of websites and web applications that serve as the backbone of
online communication, commerce, and information sharing. This introduction
provides a comprehensive overview of web development, highlighting its
importance, key components, and the role it plays in shaping our online
experiences.

Web development comprises various disciplines, including front-end

development, back-end development, and database management. Front-end
development focuses on creating visually appealing and user-friendly interfaces
using technologies like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Back-end development
involves server-side programming, handling the logic, and integrating databases
to ensure the smooth functioning of web applications. Database management
ensures efficient data storage and retrieval.

The process of web development involves multiple stages, starting from

gathering requirements and planning, followed by design, development, testing,
and deployment. Collaboration between web developers, designers, and clients

is crucial to align the final product with the desired objectives.

 PROBLEM STATEMENT
The way websites are currently developed is not very good and doesn't meet the
growing needs for modern, user-friendly, and responsive websites. There are
several problems, like websites not being designed with users in mind, the
development process being slow and not efficient, websites not working well on
different devices, and not being easily customizable or able to handle lots of
visitors. There are also security issues and difficulties in working together as a
team. We need a solution that fixes all these problems by making websites more
user-friendly, improving the development process, ensuring they work well on
different devices, making them customizable and scalable, and adding strong
security measures. We also need better tools for collaboration and version
control.

 LITERATURE SURVEY
[1] Donald J. Reifer , Reifer Consultants, Inc

In recent months, I discovered a simple method to challenge my self-assurance:

attempting to estimate the time and expenses involved in a web development
project. Developers seem to effortlessly utilize hypertext markup language, Java
applets, scripting, and visual programming languages to create web software in
no time. However, such projects disrupt my established processes, render my
models useless, and defy my size metrics. The accelerated pace of generating
numerous web objects and making them operational within a few months raises
crucial inquiries. As we shift towards the web and embrace e-commerce
business models, how can we estimate project costs and schedules? How can we
analyze break even points and justify the necessary investments for a successful
e-commerce venture? Moreover, how do we adapt our existing processes, size
metrics, and models to achieve desirable outcomes? This article aims to address
these questions and provide insights into effectively managing web software
development costs.

The multimedia and web software industry has primarily focused on
commercial, promotional, and training applications, but we anticipate a shift
towards large-scale, data-intensive in-house business applications. This
transition calls for comprehensive and well-structured development techniques.
Web developers must also embrace new technologies and adopt a user-centric
design approach. While the academic effort in multimedia research decreased
after the mid-1990s, the emergence of Internet-focused research, such as web

Dept of ISE,BMSCE 2022-23 8

engineering, took precedence. For this study, we considered web-based systems
as part of the broader definition of multimedia information systems. Our goal
was to uncover development practices in the broader context of multimedia
information systems rather than solely focusing on webmasters' frenzied activity.
By exploring more mature multimedia development environments across
industries, we can understand the evolutionary process that extends from
multimedia to web development practices.

Since the early 1990s, the Internet and the Web have become unavoidable, with
businesses and organizations viewing them as the new frontier for global
marketing and transactions. This has led to a frenzy of businesses rushing to get
online, registering domain names in the hopes of gaining a competitive edge.
Amidst this chaos, Web developers face immense pressure to quickly build
high-quality websites without many established methodologies to guide them.
Contrary to the assumption that large teams develop websites, research shows
that a variety of individuals, including those outside the traditional IS function,
are involved, often improvising methods to meet organizational needs. Web
development is more similar to multimedia application development, requiring
different skill sets and approaches. While simple web authoring and site
management tools have made planning and systematic design seem less
important, it is recognized that web development differs significantly from
traditional IS development, necessitating new approaches. The paper examines
the applicability of existing IS development methodologies to web design,

Dept of ISE,BMSCE 2022-23 9

surveys existing web methodologies, presents a new methodology, evaluates its
effectiveness, and concludes with observations on its adoption.

The World Wide Web has empowered everyday users to create digital content as
part of their daily activities. The increasing number of nonprofessional
developers, who haven't received formal training, but engage in web
development, presents both opportunities and challenges for researchers. In a
field study conducted by the EUSES Consortium, the focus was on
understanding how these users became involved in web development, their
perspectives, and the difficulties they face. The study aimed to gain insights into
their practices to design better tools and educational resources. The paper
describes the interview methods, characterizes the sample of everyday
developers, and analyzes the findings related to tool usage, quality concerns,
content reuse, collaboration, and implications for end user tools, development
resources, and education.

ReactJS is a JavaScript library which is deployed to develop reusable user
interface (UI) components. According to React official documentation, the
following is the definition: React is a library for building modular user
interfaces[9] . React basically enables development of large and complex web
based applications which can change its data without subsequent page refreshes.

Dept of ISE,BMSCE 2022-23 10

It is used as the View (V) in the Model-View-Controller(MVC). React abstracts
the Document Object Model (DOM), thus offering a simple, performing and
robust application development experience. React mostly renders on server side
using NodeJS, and support for native mobile apps is offered using React Native.
React implements unidirectional data flow thus simplifying the boilerplate and
hence proves to be much easier than traditional data binding.

The widespread adoption of the Internet has made web presence essential for
most companies. Building a successful website becomes a crucial question for
businesses. Amazon's success in capturing customers' attention has led many
e-retailers to adopt their web design format. Traditional retailers, on the other
hand, struggle to find the right formula for online success. Factors like
high-quality content, ease of use, speed, and frequent updates contribute to
repeat visits. However, some shopping sites fail to satisfy these dimensions. To
understand effective web design, cognitive psychology can be applied, drawing
inspiration from the work of environmental psychologists Kaplan and Kaplan.
Designing web content is similar to designing physical landscapes, involving
cognitive perceptions and interactivity. The authors propose the Website
Preference Scale (WSPS) to assess effective web design based on the cognitive
landscape perspective, and an exploratory study is presented to develop the
scale.

The rapid development of the web has brought new challenges, including multi

Dept of ISE,BMSCE 2022-23 11

user requests and high concurrency. JavaScript, a popular scripting language, is
widely used in web development, and Node.js is a new technology based on
JavaScript. Node.js is a lightweight and efficient platform for building fast,
scalable network applications. It has gained popularity and support from major
PAAS providers. This paper focuses on evaluating the web performance of
Node.js, PHP, and Python-Web using benchmark and scenario tests. The paper
proposes a universal method for evaluating web development techniques based
on performance comparison. Security and scalability issues are not covered in
this study.

Bieber et al. propose incorporating third- and fourth-generation hypermedia

features into the Web infrastructure. They highlight the need for additional
functionality related to document creation, management, delivery, and retrieval.
Rein et al. share this concern and emphasize the importance of enhanced
functionality for managing collections, document access control, version control,
concurrency control, change notification, and link management. They suggest
integrating document management features into Web servers. The IETF Working
Group's efforts to define standards for the distributed authoring and versioning
protocol for the Web (WEBDAV) are seen as a positive step. Whitehead
describes the proposed extensions to the HTTP protocol that would provide
meta-information for improved document management.

In recent years, the internet has experienced significant growth as a commercial
channel, with a potential market of over 1.4 billion people and more than 70
billion dot-com websites worldwide. As competition intensifies, firms are
seeking ways to achieve optimal results. Understanding user preferences is
crucial in this context, leading to extensive research on factors influencing the
success of e-commerce websites from a user perspective. Web design has
emerged as a key factor for developing user-friendly interfaces and meeting
consumer needs. However, there is a lack of consensus on how website design
factors should be managed. This study aims to identify the main factors affecting
e-commerce success and highlight good web design practices employed by
successful virtual stores. Ultimately, the goal is to provide managerial guidelines
for effective website structures and designs.

In this article, aesthetics refer to visual, sound, and interactive elements of effect.
However, the focus is primarily on visual means such as colors, typography,
design, images, videos, and flash animations. Visual communication begins as
soon as a word is typed, a color is chosen, or a text is displayed on the screen.
Every visual expression, intentional or not, communicates something to the
website visitor. Graphic design elements are inherent in every website and
cannot be ignored. Choices like using vibrant red or calm blue for the menu, or
employing unique typography for headlines, leave distinct impressions.
Multimedia installations, images, and videos are optional additions, not essential
factors in web design. Visual communication is always present on a website,

Dept of ISE,BMSCE 2022-23 13

whether intentional or not, and understanding graphic effects and visual symbols
helps ensure intentional communication and enhance aesthetic experiences.

The rapid growth and widespread use of the World Wide Web have made
web-user interface studies increasingly important. Poor interface functionality
can lead to usability issues. Numerous Web design checklists exist, but many are
based on subjective opinions or criteria from other media. Uncertainties arise
regarding the inclusiveness and usefulness of these factors, as well as their
impact on user satisfaction, interest, and revisitation. Most checklists neglect the
affective and motivational aspects of the web environment. The challenge is to
identify design factors that make websites usable, visually pleasing,
commercially viable, and capable of attracting and retaining users. User
satisfaction and liking are crucial goals for web designers, considering the
growing dependence on the web for information and business. Therefore,
understanding what satisfies or dissatisfies users and challenging assumptions is
important.

Research in the field of user experience has traditionally focused on usability
and cognitive aspects, with less attention given to the affective and hedonic
elements of the consumption experience. However, recent calls have emphasized
the importance of studying emotions and affect in the context of technology.
Some studies have explored the impact of visual design, aesthetics, and social
cues on user experience, including the influence of these factors on trust and

Dept of ISE,BMSCE 2022-23 14

satisfaction. These studies aim to broaden the understanding of user reactions
beyond the conventional cognition-driven paradigm and incorporate emotive
reactions into theoretical frameworks, moving beyond the technology
acceptance model.

The World Wide Web (WWW) has emerged as a vital communication medium,
with a projected user base of over 100 million by 1998 and exceeding 200
million by the year 2000. This global connectivity has intensified the need to
effectively communicate with diverse cultures across different regions.
However, there is no single model of cultural understanding that can cater to all
web audiences. Limited research has been conducted on how individuals from
diverse national and cultural backgrounds perceive and utilize web documents,
especially in communities and countries with cultural tendencies different from
those where web technologies originate. We have initiated a comprehensive
research project to address this gap.

The rapid expansion of the world wide web for commercial purposes has drawn
attention from researchers and practitioners. Factors contributing to this growth
include the perceived competitive advantage for companies and the ability of the
internet to provide a strong corporate presence for small businesses. As website
development becomes more prevalent in organizations, it becomes important to
carry out such work efficiently and effectively. Therefore, having
methodologies, standards, and best practice guides can be beneficial for guiding

Dept of ISE,BMSCE 2022-23 15

IT staff in web development projects. This paper presents the findings of a
research exercise involving case studies of 25 organizations in the North West
region of England. It examines the current practices of website development in
UK organizations, including the activities involved and the techniques and
standards employed.

Colour has the potential to elicit emotions or behaviors, yet there is little
research in which color treatments in website design are systematically tested.
Little is known about how color affects trust or satisfaction on the part of the
viewer. Although the Internet is increasingly global, few systematic studies have
been undertaken in which the impact of color on culturally diverse viewers is
investigated in website design. In this research three website color treatments are
tested across three culturally distinct viewer groups for their impact on user
trust, satisfaction, and e-loyalty. To gather data, a rich multi-method approach is
used including eye-tracking, a survey, and interviews. Results reveal that website
color appeal is a significant determinant for website trust and satisfaction with
differences noted across cultures. The findings have practical value for web
marketers and interface designers concerning effective color use in website
development.
