Managing Digital Design and Web Development

SEMESTER 2 2022/23

Coursework Brief:

Activity

Your task is to develop one or more scripted web pages that are meant to be part of a web application for a business dealing in the alteration of clothes (i.e., adjusting, modifying, or resizing both men and women clothing). The aim of the business is to enable people to easily access alteration services using their platform. The business currently offers three types of alteration services, namely Express, Priority, and Regular. The Express is a three (3) days turnaround service, which cost £100 per clothing, while the Priority is a seven (7) days turnaround service that cost £59.99 per clothing. The Regular on the other hand is a fifteen (15) days service which cost £19.99. At the moment, the business does not have a name, logo, and brand colours so it is your job to decide on these, but make sure they are appropriate for their target market, which is everyone who wants to do alteration to their clothing. Your web page(s) should be appealing to their target market, easy to use, and providing an alternation price calculator. Specifically, your solution should contain:

• HTML pages – an effective home page, or collection of navigable pages, with corresponding (example) content, that effectively showcases information about the business, alternation order page, contact form that allows customers to make enquiries. The contact form should request customers’ full name, email address, phone number, and message as well as have a dummy “Send” button.

• Functionality/scripting – a script that calculates the total alternation price by fetching the type of alternation services selected and corresponding price from a pre-specified MySQL database table (see database specifications below) and multiply with the number of items requiring alternation and successfully displays this content on a respective page. For instance, if the customer has two items for alternation, and selected Express service type, the calculator should accurately calculate the total price including a standard 20% VAT.

• Styling (usability and visual aesthetics) – a user-friendly and visually appealing styling that are suitable for and well applied to the problem setting, and with appropriate positioning of all elements.

Importantly, to avoid any possible confusion, every page you include in your solution must clearly include the following disclaimer: “Note that this is a fictitious website that was developed by a student as part of a programming assignment. None of the content on this page is meant to be genuine nor should it be taken as such”. Also, please do not make any attempt to submit your pages to a search index or to provide any external link to them.

To develop your solution, you will need to use HTML, JavaScript, and PHP server-side scripting. Use of CSS for styling is strongly encouraged; some may wish to use Bootstrap for this purpose. Importantly, your server-side script(s) must be designed to run under the existing Web server configuration used to host your personal web file store (www.southampton.ac.uk/~username/) 1 . Solutions that require different PHP versions, customised server configurations, etc. will attract low marks; you may wish to verify compatibility at the beginning stages of your work.

Database specifications

For the purpose of this assignment, a MySQL database named “mgmt_webapp_msc” was created and stored on a University server (srv02958.soton.ac.uk). This database contains a table named “services”, which was defined as follows:

CREATE TABLE services (

serviceid INT NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT,

servicetype VARCHAR(100),

sdescription VARCHAR(255),

price decimal (8,2),

turnaroundtime VARCHAR (100)

);

You have been granted the necessary rights to select records from this table under the username: MANG6531_student, password: tintin6531. You may assume the contents of this table will be maintained by the business; you are not given any user rights to insert, delete or update records in the table.

Important note on academic integrity

This is an individual assignment so your markup code and scripts must be your own work: you are not allowed to copy from other students.

You are of course encouraged to look for useful information sources to support your design choices and reference them in your code. Also, you are allowed to make use of existing templates or frameworks and development environments to speed up development, or you may look for scripting code examples on the Web, in books, etc., and adapt and incorporate individual chunks of scripting code provided you acknowledge their use and the sources in code comments.

Submission

First, you must electronically submit your final web application as a zip file bearing your student ID (e.g., 26123456.zip) via eAssignment (https://www.assignments.soton.ac.uk). Secondly, upload a copy of your final web application in your personal webstore store (www.southampton.ac.uk/~yourusername/) in a folder bearing your student ID including all your scripted web pages or program files (i.e., all HTML, PHP, CSS or other files required to run your application).

Assessment

Marking criteria relate to the submitted web application and we will evaluate the submitted page(s), functionality/scripting and usability and visual aesthetics. Please carefully examine the grade descriptor document (provided separately) for more details and respective weights for each of the marking criteria.

This assignment accounts for 30% of your overall module mark.

Nature of Assessment: This is a SUMMATIVE ASSESSMENT. See ‘Weighting’ section above for the percentage that this assignment counts towards your final module mark.

Word Limit: +/-10% either side of the word count (see above) is deemed to be acceptable. Any text that exceeds an additional 10% will not attract any marks. The relevant word count includes items such as cover page, executive summary, title page, table of contents, tables, figures, in-text citations and section headings, if used. The relevant word count excludes your list of references and any appendices at the end of your coursework submission. You should always include the word count (from Microsoft Word, not Turnitin), at the end of your coursework submission, before your list of references.

Title/Cover Page: You must include a title/ cover page that includes: your Student ID, Module Code, Assignment Title, Word Count. This assignment will be marked anonymously, please ensure that your name does not appear on any part of your assignment.

References: You should use the Harvard style to reference your assignment. The library provide guidance on how to reference in the Harvard style and this is available from: http://library.soton.ac.uk/sash/referencing

Submission Deadline: Please note that the submission deadline for Southampton Business School is 16.00 for ALL assessments.

e-Assignment Submission: The assignment MUST be submitted electronically via e-Assignment, which is accessed via the individual module on Blackboard. Further guidance on submitting assignments is available on the e-Assignment support pages.

It is important that you allow enough time prior to the submission deadline to ensure your submission is processed on time as all late submissions are subject to a late penalty. We would recommend you allow 30 minutes to upload your work and check the submission has been processed and is correct. Please make sure you submit to the correct assignment link.

You will know that your submission has been completed successfully when you see a message stating, ‘your submission is complete…’. It is vital that you make a note of your Submission ID (Digital Receipt Number). This is a unique receipt number for your submission and is proof of successful submission. You may be required to provide this number at a later date. We recommend that you take a screenshot of this page or note the number down on a piece of paper. You should also receive an email receipt containing this number, and the number can be found after submitting by following this guide. This method of checking your submission is particularly useful in the event that you don’t receive an email receipt.

The last submission prior to the deadline will be treated as the final submission and will be the copy that is assessed by the marker.

It is your responsibility to ensure that the version received by the deadline is the final version, resubmissions after the deadline will not be accepted in any circumstances.

Important: If you have any problems during the submission process you should contact ServiceLine immediately by email at [email protected] or by phone on +44 (0)23 8059 5656.

Late Penalties: Further information on penalties for work submitted after the deadline can be found here.
