The client was focused on providing process control solutions to the manufacturing and related industries. Established in 1989, this Client was a BSI-certified ISO 9001:2000 Tick IT Company based in the UK offering a unique combination of experience in FDA-conversant software design, process control and chemical engineering to providing a service that bridges the gap between industrial processes and the programmable systems designed to control them.
The client was working in the Pharmaceutical, Heath Care, Chemical, Glass, Food and Water industries and can offer independent advice on the most appropriate methods of improving the control of processes or helping to understand how to operate them in a more efficient manner. The client was seeking a vendor to redesign their website.
This site was hosted on the DEMON ISP server with Linux, Apache and MYSQL and PHP (LAMP) technologies. The look and feel was contemporary such as the EXPERTUNE site and there was a content management system to modify the text or images in a secured way at any time. There was a download page where the site visitor can select the PDF files to download and receive them over their e-mail with a notification to CSL. CSL gets a content management tool in admin panel to define the names of section links while keeping the same template. The list of downloads, event registration enquiries, payments and enquiries from contact page can be browsed in paginated grids and a CSL representative can reply to such messages through a form that was automatically send an e-mail to the person who submitted the enquiry. Finally CSL has registered a MOBI domain name and would like to create and host a single page site on it.
Here is a list of key steps outlining the process flow on the proposed website:
The client was provided several documents that have been read and understood to formulate the scope of work for the project, subject to specified assumptions.
The proposed application was programmed in web architecture using PHP 4 + and MY SQL 4 + as RDBMS (LAMP architecture). Application architecture was centralized for easy manageability. Application was optimized for Internet Explorer 6+ but HTML 4 compliance was preserved to ensure cross browser compatibility with other common browsers like Firefox and Netscape Navigator. Cross browser compatibility was largely ensured through use of XHTML 1.0 and HTML 4 compliance. All application testing was done in Firefox which has a more restrictive implementation of HTML / JavaScript and this ensures that it runs well in IE browsers too. Any cross browser issues was debugged if they arise during module testing.
Optimistic locking was used in database operations to improve concurrent user performance. Extensive use of stored procedures was ease network traffic and database performance.
