lengthy.Testing is required whether the system is
outsourced or built in-house.

Software enables:
Website management
Transaction processing
Security measures
Customer experience optimization

WEBSITE ARCHITECTURE
Simple (Single-Tier) System: Static content websites
with basic functionality.
Two-Tier Architecture: A web server handles
requests, and a database server stores backend
data.
Multi-Tier Architecture: Includes a middle layer with
application servers for complex transactions

TYPES OF E-COMMERCE SOFTWARE
Web Server Software – Manages website hosting.
Application Servers – Handles e-commerce operations like
order processing.
Merchant Server Software – Provides catalogs, shopping
carts, payment processing.
Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) – Cloud-based software
solutions.
Dynamic Page Generation Tools – Updates content
dynamically based on user interactions.

4.4 CHOOSING A
HARDWARE
IMPORTANCE OF HARDWARE IN
E-COMMERCE
Servers, storage, and networking, load balancer
support website performance.
Without the right hardware, websites can
experience slow loading times or crashes.
6
KEY HARDWARE CONSIDERATIONS
1. Hosting Choices:
Self-Hosting: Business owns and manages servers.
Cloud Hosting: Uses services like AWS or Google Cloud.
2. Server Performance:
Needs to handle peak traffic without delays.
3. Storage Requirements:
High-quality images/videos need more storage.
4. Network Speed:
Slow websites lead to customer dropouts.
5. Scalability:
Can the system handle increasing demand?
6. Security & Redundancy:
Backup solutions and data protection mechanisms are essential.
6
RIGHT-SIZING YOUR HARDWARE
Vertical Scaling: Increasing processing power of a
single server.
Horizontal Scaling: Adding multiple servers to share
the load.
Load Balancing: Distributing requests across
multiple servers.
Database Optimization: Ensuring fast data retrieval
with caching mechanisms.

WEBSITE DESIGN: BASIC BUSINESS
CONSIDERATIONS
From a business manager’s perspective, there are certain design objectives
you must communicate to your website designers to let them know how
you will evaluate their work.
A website that annoys customers runs the risk of losing the customer forever.
Some critics believe poor design is more common than good design.
The worst e-commerce sites make it difficult to find information about their
products and make it complicated.
TOOLS FOR SEARCH ENGINE
OPTIMIZATION
These are some basic ideas that might work well for your website to be easily

PLANNING AND BUILDING A
MOBILE PRESENCE
MOBILE PRESENCE: DESIGN
CONSIDERATIONS
Mobile presence has become so important that it is fueling a growing trend to flip
the traditional e-commerce development process and begin instead with
development of a mobile presence rather than a desktop website (known as
mobile first design).
Responsive web design (RWD) tools and design techniques make it possible to
design a website that automatically adjusts its layout and display according to the
screen resolution of the device on which it is being viewed, whether a desktop,
tablet, or smartphone.
With Adaptive Web Design (AWD) (sometimes also referred to as adaptive
delivery or responsive web design with server-side components (RESS)), the
server hosting the website detects the attributes of the device making the request
and, using predefined templates based on device screen size along with CSS and
JavaScript, loads a version of the site that is optimized for the device
