Introduction
The Internet is an integral part of our lives. With it, we communicate; gather news, network with friends and colleagues, and share information and resources.

The owner’s interface is accessible only to the business owner and requires an administrative login. Its primary purpose is to allow business owners to manage their product inventory and orders.
Owner’s Interface
In order for owners to successfully operate their businesses online, we implemented the following basic functionality: Log in to the owner’s portal, Upload and edit product images and descriptions, Manage inventory, Manage orders received from customers.

By allowing business owners to upload product images and assign descriptions to their products, we encourage the owner’s sense of propriety over his or her business. We want to make the interface easy to use so that the owner has a
