 2. WEB DEVELOPMENT
For the major project report on the development of an e-commerce website focused on
home decoration items, it's crucial to understand the theoretical aspects of web
development. This project utilizes a variety of languages, frameworks, and technologies to
ensure functionality, interactivity, and aesthetics.

HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) forms the backbone of the website, providing the
structure and content. It defines the layout of web pages and ensures compatibility across
different devices and browsers.

CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) is employed to enhance the visual presentation of the
website. It controls the layout, colors, fonts, and overall design aspects, ensuring a
cohesive and attractive user interface.

JavaScript, along with jQuery, brings interactivity to the website. These scripting
languages enable dynamic features such as dropdown menus, image sliders, form
validation, and AJAX requests for seamless user experiences.

Bootstrap, a front-end framework, is utilized for its responsive design components and grid
system. It streamlines the development process, ensuring the website looks great on
various screen sizes and devices.

SQL (Structured Query Language) is employed for database management. It facilitates

efficient storage, retrieval, and manipulation of data related to products, orders, customers,
and other aspects of the e-commerce platform.

PHP (Hypertext Preprocessor) serves as the server-side scripting language, handling

dynamic content generation, user authentication, and database interactions. It enables the
website to perform complex tasks and process user input securely.

Overall, the combination of HTML, CSS, JavaScript, jQuery, Bootstrap, SQL, and PHP
forms a robust technological stack for developing a feature-rich and visually appealing e-
commerce website tailored for home decoration items.

2.1 WEB SITE

An E-Commerce website for home decoration items serves as a digital platform for users
to browse, select, and purchase decor products from the comfort of their homes. The
website is designed using a combination of HTML, CSS, JavaScript, jQuery, and
9
Bootstrap, ensuring a visually appealing and user-friendly interface. HTML forms the
backbone of the website's structure, defining the layout and content elements. CSS is
employed to enhance the aesthetic appeal and ensure consistency in design across different
pages.

JavaScript and jQuery are utilized for interactive features such as dynamic product
displays, user authentication, and cart management. These scripting languages enable
seamless user experience by providing functionalities like real-time validation of user
inputs and smooth transitions between pages. Bootstrap framework further enhances
responsiveness and scalability, ensuring optimal performance across various devices and
screen sizes.

The website's backend is powered by PHP, handling server-side processing and database
interactions. SQL is employed for database management, storing crucial information such
