The focus of the website is to expand the business by providing online retailing platform for customers to order for goods and services 24 hours in seven days a week.
2. PURPOSE
Once you determine whether you will be highlighting one or more products or services on your “uncle’s” website, you should also have a purpose in mind for highlighting these products/services. Why should visitors (and potential customers) care about these things? Why should a website be built for this business? (2–3 sentences)
The highlighted products are very crucial for households, small and medium businesses since information technology have begun to take a central place in the lives of the people in this era. Potential customers ought to care about the current trends and dynamics of business environments as well as how such technology affect their lives. The website will be used as the tool for reaching out to our customers and bringing the products to their doors as well as educating them on the use and importance to stay relevant.
3. DESIRED RESULTS
Nearly every website is results-oriented. For example, Amazon.com does not want you to leave the site until after you have made a purchase. The same holds true here—what is the result, or the most compelling action, you want visitors to take after visiting your “uncle’s” website?
(2–3 sentences)
The website is designed such that upon visiting by potential customers, they don’t leave without making placing an order for some of the basic office and household items. It is designed in such a way as to inform, remind and persuade customers which leaves them with no option but to place an order for one or two items.

Lower level income households will now afford relatively cheap household equipment and free delivery.
4b. Sometimes you need to consider the geographical location of your target audience.

Is this an aspect of your audience you should consider as well? (At minimum, one sentence or less)

4c. Estimated typical number of visitors per month or year (approximate number):
Due to high population of college students in the New York City, we estimated that the number of visitors on my uncle’s website will be 1,000 per day which translates to 30,000 per month and 360,000 visitors per year at bare minimum.
