At this point, you??™ve presented your plan to the owners of the t-shirt shop. In the next chapter,
you??™ll put on your programming hat and start to design and build the web site (assuming you
got the contract, of course).
CHAPTER 1 ?– STARTING AN E-COMMERCE SITE 11
Laying Out the Foundations
Now that you??™ve convinced the client that you can create a cool web site to complement his
or her activity, it??™s time to stop celebrating and start thinking about how to put into practice all
the promises you??™ve made. As usual, when you lay down on paper the technical requirements
you must meet, everything starts to seem a bit more complicated than initially anticipated.
To ensure this project??™s success, you need to come up with a smart way to implement
what you agreed to when you signed the contract. You want to develop the project smoothly
and quickly, but the ultimate goal is to make sure the client is satisfied with your work. Consequently,
you should aim to provide your site??™s increasing number of visitors with a positive
web experience by creating a pleasant, functional, and responsive web site.
The requirements are high, but this is normal for an e-commerce site today. To maximize
the chances of success, we??™ll analyze and anticipate as many of the technical requirements as
possible and implement solutions in a way that supports changes and additions with minimal
effort.
