 Name of the project

The name of our project on which we will do work is Coupons.com . Our project will
base on ASP.NET with coding in C#, xml, html, JavaScript, css .

It will be general website for users so that they can get the coupons of various products of
many companies. On this website we will provide coupons online at home to users or
clients.

In the project , there will be two user only Admin and client user.

Admin will have authority to enter new company and coupons of the companies.
He could also be able to update and delete the company as well as coupons of the
companies.

The client user could register and create its accounts. Client could select company 1st and
then coupon of the company. And will able to print the coupon of that.
 Statement about the problem

Till now in coupon system there is no security whether a particular coupon is legal
or not and also it is very difficult to maintain and update the record of various coupons.
Moreover, most of the work involved in the process has to be done manually which is
very time consuming and cumbersome and also, it reduces the efficiency, accuracy and
speed of retrieval of data. It is not that no effort has been made towards this end. An
attempt to get the complete working automated failed as the system could not be
integrated into a functional whole. We feel that this shortcoming becoming glaringly
evident. A discussion with our project guide produce enthusiastic response and we decide
to take the challenge.

If we use an online coupon system then it is not possible for anyone to use duplicate
coupons. It will be very easy to maintain and update the various coupons provided by
various companies. It will also be less time consuming then the traditional coupon
system.

If any user requested for any coupon in traditional coupons system then he will have to
do a lot of hard word. But in online coupon system he/she can get easily coupons at
home.
 Why is the particular topic choose ?

We choose this project because traditional couponing is not so effective in maintain and
update the record of system. Also the traditional coupning system is not so secure. So we
want to make an alternative of the traditional couponing. That will represents the most
flexible, effective, fraud-resistant, print-from-the-web coupon solution available in the
marketplace. And will also be offers users coupons which they could print at home, then
will able to redeem at retailers.

Traditional coupons are not so much secure. Someone can make a duplicate of any
coupon in a traditional coupon system. But it is not possible in this couponing system
here we can easily check if the given coupon is right or wrong in our database.

In traditional coupon system a lot of efforts & time is required. But in online coupons
system anyone can get coupons online at home. He will not have to do any hard work. He
will get an print of his coupon directly.

It is also suitable for a company to make changes in his coupon database. So a very less
effort required by a company to maintain coupon system then a traditional coupon
system.

Thus to overcome all the above limitations of traditional couponing system we make this
project.
 Objective and scope of the project

The main objectives and the scope of the project will be :-

• Providing user friendly interface

• Keeping coupons records online
• To get all the information about the various categories and subcategories of
coupons online
• Easy access of data
• Easy maintenance
• Maintaining data consistency
• Providing better performance
• Increasing the efficiency through automation
• Adequate validation checks for data entry
• Facility to update the data time to time
• Adequate security of the database
 Methodology(including a summary of the project)

Coupons.com will provides coupon marketing and technology solutions for publishers
and advertisers. The project is based on ASP.NET with coding in C#. The use of this
project is simple and secure.

It will be a three tier project. These three tiers are following:-

1. Database tier

2. Business tier

3. Presentation tier

This project will have the various type coupons of various companies which will be
stored in database. So we will use SQL SERVER 2008 to store all the data about various
type of coupons related to various company’s. We will use some stored procedures to
ignore the security leakage.

We will use ASP.NET 4.0 to make Business tier in C# language. By using C# language
we will make DLL(Dynamic Linked Libraries) . These libraries have all the coding
which will be used to insert data , select data, update data, delete data from a database .
we will use DLL files because these will be highly secure.

For presentation tier , we will use a set of .net languages. These will be following-

 XML will be used for sitemapping. It will provide fast links for various parts of
the website.
 HTML will be used for static designing of website. All the static designing of
pages will be done in it.
 JAVASCRIPT will be used for some dynamic effects. It uses a java enabled web
browser to execute.
 CSS will also be used for designing. It will be used make our website attractive
and good looking.
 C#. NET will be used for logic development for the project. It will be used for asp
pages.
 Hardware and software to be used

In this step we may analyze the processing capabilities of the system on which the
proposed system will be developed and the specification may be divided into two
categories namely:

1. Hardware Specifications

Processor

Minimum: 1000 megahertz (MHz) Pentium processor

Recommended: 2 gig hertz (GHz) core2 dual processor

RAM

Minimum: 1 gigabytes (GB)

Recommended: 4 GB

Hard Disk

6 GB of available space required on installation drive

2 GB of available space required on system drive

Display

Minimum: 800 x 600 256 colors

Recommended: 1024 x 768 High Color - 16-bit

2. Technologies to be used

 ASP.NET 4.0 will be used for developing the web pages.

 C#. NET will be used for logic development for the project.
 SQL SERVER will be used for managing the database at server side.
 INTERNET EXPLORER will be used to run this website.
 IIS SERVER will be used to deploy this website.
 XML will be used for sitemapping.
 HTML will be used for static designing of website.
 JAVASCRIPT will be used for some dynamic effects.
 CSS will also be used for designing.

3. OS required

Microsoft Windows XP / higher version of Windows OS required.

 Testing technologies to be used

The testing technologies for the project are Internet explorer and the IIS (Internet
Information server).

The main output of the project will be seems in internet explorer. Internet explorer will
execute the asp pages made by using ASP.NET 4.0 . It will provide the view of our
website that how it looks and will it work or not?

The IIS is the part of operating system and it is present at the server side not the
developer side. It will be used to deploy our website over the internet so that anyone on
internet can open & use this website.
 CONTRIBUTION MAKE BY PROJECT

This project will make a lot of contribution to solve the problems associated with

traditional coupon system. In traditional coupon system there is no security whether a

particular coupon is legal or not and also it is very difficult to maintain and update the
record of various coupons. Moreover, most of the work involved in the process has to be
done manually which is very time consuming and cumbersome and also, it reduces the
efficiency, accuracy and speed of retrieval of data.

If we use an online coupon system then it is not possible for anyone to use duplicate
coupons. It will be very easy to maintain and update the various coupons provided by
various companies. It will also be less time consuming then the traditional coupon
system.

If any user requested for any coupon in traditional coupons system then he will have to
do a lot of hard word. But in online coupon system he/she can get easily coupons at
home.

Thus it will make a lot of contribution to overcome the limitations of traditional

couponing system.
