Visually Impaired Friendly E-Commerce

Website
Systems Design (System Design Specification)
Introduction:
The Visually Impaired Friendly E-Commerce Website is a new information system designed to
provide a user-friendly and accessible online shopping experience for individuals with visual
impairments. The website will include text-to-speech technology, high-contrast options, and
easy-to-navigate menus to ensure visually impaired customers can easily browse and purchase
products.

Management Summary:
The Visually Impaired Friendly E-Commerce Website project has been initiated to address the
need for an e-commerce platform that is accessible to visually impaired customers. The project
will involve the development of a user-friendly and accessible website designed to meet the
needs of visually impaired customers. The project will be managed by a project manager and
overseen by a steering committee. The project is expected to be completed within 6 months at a
total cost of $100,000.

System Components:
The Visually Impaired Friendly E-Commerce Website will be designed to include the following
system components:

1. User interface: The website will include a user interface that is accessible to visually impaired
customers. This will consist of high-contrast options, large font sizes, and easy-to-navigate
menus.

2. Text-to-speech technology: The website will include text-to-speech technology that will
enable visually impaired customers to hear the product descriptions and other relevant
information.

3. Input and output: The website will allow customers to input their information and preferences
and receive results such as product recommendations, order confirmations, and shipping
information.

4. Files and databases: The website will store customer data, product information, and other
relevant data in a secure database.

5. Network specifications: The website will be hosted on a secure server and accessible online.
System Environment:
The Visually Impaired Friendly E-Commerce Website will be designed to operate in the
following system environment:

1. Operational constraints: The website must support high-traffic volumes and provide fast and
reliable access to product information and order processing.

2. Hardware requirements: The website will be designed to operate on standard hardware

configurations and will require minimal hardware upgrades.

3. Systems software: The website will be designed to operate on standard web browsers and
will not require any special software.

4. Security requirements: The website will be designed to meet the highest security standards
and will include measures such as SSL encryption, firewalls, and intrusion detection systems.

Implementation Requirements:
The Visually Impaired Friendly E-Commerce Website will require the following implementation
requirements:

1. Start-up processing: The website will require initial setup and configuration to ensure that all
components are functioning correctly.

2. User training: The website will require user training to ensure that visually impaired customers
can use the website effectively.

3. Software test plans: The website will require rigorous testing to ensure that all components
function correctly and that the website is accessible to visually impaired customers.

Time and Cost Estimates:

The Visually Impaired Friendly E-Commerce Website project will take 6 months to complete at
$100,000. The project will be divided into the following phases:

1. Planning phase: 1 month

2. Design phase: 2 months

3. Development phase: 2 months

4. Testing phase: 1 month

Additional Material:
Other material that may be included in the Visually Impaired Friendly E-Commerce Website
system design specification includes:

1. Requirements documents
2. User manuals

3. Technical specifications

4. Project schedules

5. Progress reports

Conclusion:

The Visually Impaired Friendly E-Commerce Website is an important project to provide visually
impaired customers with an accessible and user-friendly online shopping experience. The
project will require careful planning, design, development, and testing to ensure that all
components are functioning correctly and that the website is accessible to all users.

The system design specification presented here outlines the complete design for the new
information system, including the system components, system environment, implementation
requirements, and time and cost estimates. The system components include the user interface,
outputs, inputs, files, databases, and network specifications, and all relevant documentation has
been included. The system environment section describes the system's constraints, such as
hardware, systems software, and security. At the same time, the implementation requirements
specify the start-up processing, initial data entry, user training requirements, and software test
plans. Finally, the time and cost estimates provide detailed schedules, cost estimates, and
staffing requirements for the systems development phase.
