 o Special price/ Discounted price for a selected time: Each product price can be set for special offers.
And the special offer would be effective between a date period.

o Multi-tier Categories: A category can have multiple children and each child can have multi-tier
children as well.
o Fully Customizable Product Options: Example: A laptop can have many options like 8/16/32 GB RAM,
256GB/ 512GB/ 1TB HDD, 1 Year/ 2 Year/ 3 Year Support period with different price. It can be
configured from the admin panel. Customers can select their options from the shop frontend.
o Basic and On-Demand Reports: We would include a few basic reports, screenshots below. For
advanced on-demand reports, we might ask for some development fee.

• Development:
o PHP-MySQL based web application. With web frameworks: Laravel and Vue JS
o Backend Framework: Laravel
o Frontend Frameworks: Bootstrap, Vue.js
• Design:
o Design the website in accordance with client’s design choices; while also helping them choose best
practices and avoid bottlenecks
o Fully Responsive website that loads fast and perfectly in any device screen size
o SEO optimized design

• Web Server: (Price mentioned separately in the pricing section of this proposal)
o Fully Managed VPS (1 High Frequency CPU, 2GB RAM, 65GB NVMe SSD, 2TB BW, Private Networking, Load
Balancing support in multiple locations worldwide). Auto Backup and DDoS Protection Features available on
demand.
Note: this server would be enough for initial deployment and moderate traffic. When there’s a requirement for higher resources, this server can be scaled
up anytime.

o Server Setup: Ubuntu LTS, PHP, MySQL, Nodejs, Apache web server with NGINX Reverse Proxy for
best performance and fast content delivery.
• Security:
o All contents served with SSL Protocol (HTTPS)
o Protection against attacks like MitM, XSS, CSRF, SQL Injection, Session Hijacking and DDoS
o DDoS Protection:
▪ Brute force attack prevention
▪ Network level DDoS protection available.
▪ Auto ban of IP if suspicious activity detected.

 • Scalability:
o Coding Standard: As we are experienced to work on several open-source projects, we always maintain
best coding practices. All our code is properly indented with ‘.editorconfig’ file. We make Modular
Architecture and Reusable Component based Frontend whenever possible. Therefore, you can hire
any developer with relevant language skills to maintain and scale your code in future.
o Leveraging CDN: Heavy contents like Software Installer Packages, Videos and images would be
spontaneously uploaded to a CDN service or Block Storage. So that the main web server does not run
out of space and at the same time minimize hosting costs for a larger server. We can integrate
Amazon S3 Storage, Google Cloud Storage, Akamai, Cloudflare or from any other provider.
