Website Development for Drive Yelo

Question: Discuss about the Website Development for Drive Yelo. Answer: Introduction: A business proposal is created for Drive Yello, a small startup company in Australia to implement a business website for the company and the report is required to be presented to the president of the company Ms. Courtney Blair (Yello - Food delivery made easy., 2017). The proposal should be presented to the board of directors and the other administrators and managers of the company. With the implementation of the website in the current business process of the organization the company is expected to gain competitive advantage because the business have a unique strategy. The website proposal contains the development techniques and the approach used for the proper development of the project and implements it with the current business process. The main problem associated with the project is that the president of the company is unaware of the benefit that the company can gain with the use of internet and intranet (Maciel et al., 2014). The website can automate the registration of the different business and reduce the need of paper works for the management of the business process (Liaw et al., 2015). Another problem associated with the current business process is that the interested partners and investors needs more time to reach the company and the faster food delivery requires real time data update which is not possible without an information system. Project Objectives The main objectives of the project are as follows: To explain the benefits of internet and intranet for the company To include the stakeholders of the company for the development of the project To develop an appropriate approach and methodology for the development of the project To develop an efficient website and create a testing plan for the development of the project To estimate the project cost for the development of the project Benefits of using Internet and Intranet The internet plays an active role for interconnecting the different business components and it also helps the organization to gain competitive advantage with improved response time from the business(Anderson, 2015). The business data can be shared with the stakeholders associated with the system and the global data can be fetched from different sources and the efficiency of the business can be improved (Welch, 2015). Different web applications can be used for the communicating with the clients and taking feedback of the service provided by Yelo Drive. The web application can be of different types like chat rooms, social media, email, etc. Intranet service can also be used for communicating and managing the office and the employees working in the organization. A LAN setup is used for the creating a two way communication and improve the communication speed with the organization. A VOIP system can be implemented for communicating with the employees (Wolstencroft et al., 2013). The cost of operation of the internet is lower and the speed of communication is much faster using the intranet service in the organization. Benefits from the suggested solution The suggested solution would help the organization to track the location of the order where it should be delivered. The integration of the Google map service with the developed website would help the business and the stakeholders involved with the system to track the location where the delivery is to be made and thus reach the position more quickly (Sukale, Koval Voida, 2014). The registered can be notified for the delivery and the interested driver going on the route can take the order and reduce the cost incurred for the delivery of the order. The website can also manage the payment of the customers and reduce the manual process of the business (Rao, Neelima Krishnamurthy, 2016). The customer relationship can be improved with the implementation of the system and the business-to-business communication would also be improved with the implementation of the system. The social media pages can be included with the developed website to reach more number of peoples and increase the publicity of the website. A page of the company can be created on Face book for analyzing the fan following and the comments can be audited for getting feedback of the customer regarding the business process followed by Drive Yelo.

The internet and the intranet should be used for the development and aligning it with the development process. The contents of the website should be managed with a robust content management system and the system must be designed considering the recommendations provided in the report. Recommendations Flexible design: The developed website should be flexible and a dedicated server or workstation should be linked with the interface to load the organizational data. Implementation of CMS: Content Management System would save the cost of the maintenance of the website and keep the website upto date and fresh for use Attractive design: The website would should be designed using colorful logo and manage the records of the business partners and employees working in the organization. Compatibility: The developed website should be compatible with different platforms such that the user can access the website from different devices. Social media integration: A business page can be created on Facebook to analyze the customer reaction and taking feedback from the customer for improvement of the website. References Anderson, L. Z.
