In this paper, we are going to develop a website for the book store which is named as “Buy Your Books”. The development of the online bookstore helps the student to order book of their choice from the company. The development of the virtual book store provides the facility to the students and customers to search into the available catalogue to order books according to their requirement by sitting in their house only (Kumar, 2014). The renovation of the book store can be done with the development of the interactive online website for the store. They do not have to waste their time in search of the book in the local market. The owner of the book store had decided to increase their marketing with the implementation of the online book store with the name “Buy your books”.
Project objectives:
The objective of the project is to design a website for the ordering of the books through the medium of internet. This documentation helps in providing the technical specification of the website to give the clear idea about the construction of website pages. It helps in providing interactive website through which customers can directly order their books to be delivered at their door steps.
Deliverables of the project:
The project is designed to deliver the feasibility analysis of the proposed design, specification for establishing requirement of the owner of the book store, risks associated with the project development and others (Hu, 2014). The renovation of the book store can be done with the development of the interactive online website for the store (Johnsons, 2013). The organization of the processes should be done in the efficient manner of the effective deployment of the processes involved in the construction of the website.
Literature Review:
We have analysed that the development of the website involves the use of graphics and other visualization techniques for attracting customer towards their business for increasing the sale of the online book store (Kodali, 2007). From the research, it has been concluded that the in the world of digital innovation customers are getting attracted towards the online shopping. It has been searched that about 60% of the marketing stores have improved their turnover with the development of the online store (Hulagabali, 2012). The development of the online book store depends on the following factors:
Technical feasibility analysis: The PHP programming language is used for constructing the online web portal for the book store. The MySQL database is used for designing relational table for the website.
Operational Feasibility: The efficiency of the book store can be improved with the designing of the online website of the enterprise (Mummaneni, 2011). The information of the system can be controlled by accessing the information from the database. The strong password should be developed by using the password policies to make the privacy of the data. The handling of the order can be efficiently done with the development of the relational table for storing details of the order in the database.
Business requirement specification:
The ordering of the books can be efficiently done with the help of online book store by sitting in the house only. The students do not have to spend their precious time in searching for the books in the local market. The orders delivered to the door step of the student. The development of the website is designed for solving the following purposes:
The project is developed with the key idea to provide an online application for the owner of the book store to manage the details of the order placed and maintaining the accurate financial information. The functionality provided by the web application are categorised as admin information, menu option, user details, profile detail, cart management system, databases, and others.

Representation of the data model
The storage of required data is represented with the use of entity relationship diagram. The development of the ERD helps in demonstrating the clear perception of the relational database which is used for storing the information (Gopal, 2013). The following is the entity relationship diagram for the online book store
Representation of the process model
The process model is used for defining and representing the flow of data between different participating units for maintaining the completion of processes involved (Clay, 2013). The representation of the data flow is shown with the help of Data flow diagram. The DFD is composed of four symbols which are used for representing the flow of information which are categorised as Rectangles used for representing entities associated with the system, eclipses are used for admitting input and delivering output, arrows are sued for representing the data flow, and open ended rectangles are used for representing the data store (Atmojo, 2013).
