Technologies

We propose using PHP/SMARTY as a technology for your project. Reasons for selecting this technology
are given below:

• Integration opportunities - All open source products, like phpBB and Wordpress, are created using
PHP. Adding new modules to the program as well as integrating with other open source projects
becomes seamless.

• Scalability - Large sites like Facebook.com and mySpace.com are created using PHP.

• Cost savings - Being open source, you don’t pay any license fee. Hosting for PHP is cheaper than that
for Microsoft technology.

• Abstraction - Internet technology evolves too fast. Every year one has to update the look and feel of
the site because it gets outdated. Separating the presentation layer in SMARTY makes this job very
easy because you are not touching the heart of the application.

Tier Role Technology

Presentation Tier This tier will contain the user CSS, SMARTY, Ajax , PHP
interface, which will be available

16
 to the end users. All the Ajax
effects will be created using
yahoo UI framework
Business Tier This tier will manage business PHP code
processes, rules and logic. This
will contain the components and
the business logic.
Database Tier This tier contains database MYSQL
having all the data

Architecture

In order to provide accessibility, scalability, flexibility and robustness, the application should be built
using the MVC (Model, View, and Controller) architecture using SMARTY and PHP.

SMARTY is used to abstract the PHP code from HTML i.e. SMARTY becomes your presentation layer.

This architecture facilitates the separation of the application code from presentation. Typically, the
application code contains the business logic of your application, written and maintained in PHP code.
This is the heart of your application. It is a bad practice to keep business logic and presentation at the
same place. Presentation controls the view of the end user. This is the face of your application.

This architecture allows you to change the presentation without touching the business logic and
changing the business logic without changing the view.

Database
We will use MYSQL 5.0 Database. All the queries and tables can be migrated to Oracle in future if you
want to scale the site.

Web Server
Apache web server that runs on Linux will be used for the web server.

17
Operating System
Linux 10.2 and Microsoft Windows will be used as the development environment.

Warranty:

We stand by our work. There is a 2 months standard warranty on all our work. Once the application is
completely tested and has been launched for public use there will be three months of warranty period
where any bugs with the application are fixed. This period cannot be used to add any additional
features into the site. This period can be extended or reduced at the time of final signing of agreement.

An additional warranty on the code itself is valid with NO time limit, in case the website
should have any problem in terms of its functionalities. This also goes for SEO-friendly
coding, which a guarantee is given to the client. If the code is not SEO-friendly, it would
need to be changed/fixed free of charge.

Note: Warranty period will continue for a period of 60 days post launch date of the project.

Maintenance:

Maintenance, upgrades, changes, etc. will be provided at $8 per hour. For larger maintenance jobs, we
will be pleased to quote and lock the price based upon our hourly rates.
