ABSTRACT

This Project described the entire process for designing An Online

Business Directory. The main purpose for the project was to analyze and

investigate an Online advertising system as a way of acquiring the system of

advertising online so that companies/businesses to advertise in order to cover

wider market, was designed and implemented. This project was about

designing and implementing An Online Business Directory for Surf Uganda. The

Project had three objectives: It aimed at defining and analyzing the old System

and determines the requirements for the new system.

It aimed at implementing a system that substitutes television,

radio, news papers, and door to door advertisement. The data was collected

from both primary and secondary sources using interviews, questionnaires, and

observation.

The project gave an analysis of the old system that was manual. All

the above imply that the system will run smoothly thereby reducing on the

workload increase productivity and improve efficiency on the current system.

However as was stated, due to time constraint the system does not consider all

the areas. The system has not gone through the stage of maintenance because

this model is a Prototype, therefore errors should be expected. The software does not have the HELP function; therefore individual learning will be a bit hard to master the operation of the system
