Online Home Service (O.H.S)

Abstract

The focus of the Online Home Services (OHS) web application is to facilitate the everyday consumer, while he/she looks for online services such as plumbing, car wash, etc. After a thorough research search over the internet, it was established that most of the websites offer a handful of services (see related work). This factor results in a situation where the consumers are scattered between websites, and unsatisfied, and they have a low probability of finding what they are looking for. This problem was handled through the OHS, as all the basic needs of the everyday consumer were determined through an in-depth study of various similar projects. This helped in the development of the website as it gave an overview of which services to add to the application and which are to be skipped. 11 of the major facilities were provided except for some, as the ones skipped were easily accessible to the consumer. One of the main concerns of the OHS is the competitive nature of the online market. However, as most of the e-commerce websites on the internet provide a limited set of services, the OHS is an innovation in the market and is projected to generate more internet traffic in a comparatively smaller period.
