E-comerce - Introdution to online trading

At the beginning, you need to determine what type of services we provide, then you need to define the entities appearing in our sales cycles, in this case it will be: -Client -Employee -Order -Product On the diagram we have created below, you can see the dependencies between them and how the delivery cycle of our product to the customer proceeds.

ERD It is a simple visualization of databases in which we can indicate entities and relationships between them. Just like ERD databases are important element of any e-commerce website. Creating a simple and clear diagram. The diagram helps us determine the degree of data dependence and the operation of mechanisms on the page, such as: - Orders - Product data - Customer data - Delivery - Warehouse - Employee details - Transaction ID Based on the diagram of an example book store, we can see what entities it has, as well as their more detailed information and relationships between them. On this basis, we can determine the operation of the ordering process. references (2023) What is entity relationship diagram (ERD)?

Databases are an indispensable element of today's world. One could say that the first databases were created with the creation of writing, because any information that they could contain can be treated as data. However, nowadays the concept of databases has been expanded and clarified. Currently, practically nothing could function without a properly built database. In computer technology, databases perform special functions as they allow for the rational functioning of mechanisms in the IT structure. However, we will focus on the concept of databases in the e-commerce sphere. Databases are their inseparable element because they contain all kinds of information about products, transactions, customers, delivery methods, and much more. Also databases are an important element of every website, without which it could not function. references Drake, M. (2022) Understanding database sharding , DigitalOcean . DigitalOcean.

Here I would like to introduce the product page of my website and compare it with another page. At the same time, it will indicate the differences and inspirations that I used in my website. https://delikatnytwarog.wixsite.com/strikefpv/shop https://modelhelicopters.co.uk/collections/kits-1 As we can see, the layout of both websites is very similar because it is probably the most effective form of product presentation, however, we can notice a lot of differences. I decided to use a dark graphic theme for a better contrast with the inscriptions and at the same time a dark background is less tiring for the eyes, so the website can be viewed more willingly. On the competitor's website, the categories are listed in the header of the page, which in my opinion is not the best place if we want to show the full range of products. In my example, next to the products, a navigation bar with categories is more effective if the customer wants to quickly browse through the full range or is looki

The 4P model consists of 4 elements such as: Price Product Place Promotion These are the bases thanks to which we can influence the market.

"Alt Tag" also known as the alt attribute or alternative description. This is one of the attributes used in HTML to present our website to search engines. These tags are in the form of short phrases or words describing our website or what we can find on it, thanks to which the search engine can more efficiently match our website to a specific phrase that is being searched for, for example, a person looking for bars with home delivery in a given city can more easily bully our website page if we include the following phrases in it, such as: Home delivery, city, restaurant. Alt tags in short are designed to position the page in the search engine, which can greatly improve the SEO of our website.
