Abstract

Geek Store (Gaming Website)

The Gaming community has taken a huge part in our life become a huge industry all over the
world, with millions of people playing games on all kinds of different platforms. Whether
you're on a console, a PC, or a mobile device, there's a game out there for you, and it's easier
than ever to connect with other players from all over the globe and have some fun.

E-sports has really blown up too. It's become a serious competition, with professional players
battling it out in tournaments with some serious prize money on the line. And with streaming
and content creation becoming more and more popular, players can now share their gameplay
with audiences all over the world and even make some money doing it.

But what's really cool is that gaming has become more inclusive too. People from all kinds of
different backgrounds and identities are getting involved and creating games that reflect their
unique perspectives. And with indie game development on the rise, smaller studios and
individual developers are able to create some really innovative and exciting games.

All in all, gaming has come a long way from being just a niche hobby. It's become a cultural
phenomenon that's only getting bigger and better with time.

In a period of 3 months we applied research and surveys finding that Geek Store provides its
services all the time, and has daily work to make its best to meet the gamer's needs. It's
composed of 3 actors (Customer, Geek Store and Shipping company) the store administrator
is the person responsible for accepting and confirming the orders to send it to the shipping
department if it was a hardware device or the source if it were a game, gamer can check the
store for the new games and devices and submit a ticket if they have a problem or any
options.

Finally, The pricing will be suitable for the Middle East community. We mainly chose this
project to accomplish our faculty’s objective to link the business logic and the IT objectives.

Our future work is to release a game created by Arabian developers to spread the game’s
development in our community.

Problem Definition
The gaming and technology industry is rapidly evolving, with new products and innovations
emerging constantly. However, many consumers struggle to find a reliable and
comprehensive source for their gaming and technology needs. Brick-and-mortar stores often
have limited product offerings and may not cater to the needs of a diverse customer base.
Online stores may lack the necessary credibility and customer service to establish trust with
potential customers.
Furthermore, shipping and delivery can be a significant challenge for international customers,
with many online stores offering limited shipping options or high shipping fees. This can lead
to frustration and dissatisfaction among customers, ultimately resulting in lost sales and a
negative reputation for the store.
Geek Store aims to address these challenges by offering a wide range of gaming and
technology products, shipping to customers worldwide, and providing exceptional customer
service. However, the company must continue to refine its website and business model to
ensure it meets the needs of its customers and remains competitive in the market.
To achieve this, Geek Store must prioritize the following areas:
1. User Experience: Continuously assess and improve the website's functionality,
navigation, and design to ensure a seamless and enjoyable shopping experience for
customers.
2. Product Range: Regularly update and expand the product range to cater to the needs
of a diverse customer base and stay ahead of industry trends.
3. Shipping and Delivery: Optimize shipping and delivery options to ensure timely and
cost-effective delivery to customers worldwide.
4. Customer Service: Provide exceptional customer service, including responsive
communication, easy returns and exchanges, and personalized support to build trust
and loyalty among customers.
By addressing these challenges, Geek Store can establish itself as a leading online destination
for gaming and technology products, catering to a global customer base and providing a
reliable and comprehensive shopping experience.

often well-known titles from major publishers, such as "Grand Theft Auto V," "Borderlands:
The Handsome Collection," and "Civilization VI."

Conclusion
In conclusion, the development of Geek Store's online gaming store website has been an
exciting and challenging project. Our goal was to create a better and more convenient online
shopping experience for customers all over the world who are interested in purchasing video
games and gaming hardware. We achieved this by offering products in competitive prices and
providing an intuitive online shopping experience that makes it easier and more affordable for
customers to purchase the products they need.

Our team designed and developed an online gaming store website that provides a wide range
of video games, computer and laptop devices and hardware, and PC accessories to customers
all over the world. We focused on creating an intuitive and attractive design that features a
wide range of products, convenient payment options, and reliable shipping and delivery
services.

To use the website, customers can follow these simple steps:

1. Register an account or log in to an existing account.

2. Browse the website and search for the desired products using the search bar, product
categories, or filters.

3. Click on the product to view more details, including product description, price, and
customer reviews and ratings.

4. Add the desired products to the shopping cart.

5. Proceed to checkout, where customers can review their order, enter their shipping and
payment information, and choose their preferred shipping method.

6. Confirm the order and complete the transaction.

Once the transaction is complete, customers will receive a confirmation email containing
their order details and shipping information.

The website features an inherent design that makes it easy for customers to navigate and find
the products they need. The homepage features prominent search and filter options, along
with product recommendations and featured deals. Customers can search for products by
name, category, or keyword to quickly locate the items they want to purchase.

The product pages provide detailed information about each item, including product
specifications, descriptions, customer reviews, and comparison of features with similar
products. High-resolution product images give customers a good idea of what they are
purchasing. Customers can also view related products and recommendations based on their
previous selections.

The shopping cart and checkout process is streamlined to minimize friction and ensure a
positive customer experience. Customers can easily add multiple products to their cart and
proceed to checkout in just a few clicks. The checkout page allows customers to securely
enter their payment and shipping details. Customers have the option to save their information
for future orders.

After completing an order, customers receive a confirmation email with order and shipment
tracking details. They can log in to their account at any time to view their order history, track
shipments, and manage their account information.

The website is optimized for both desktop and mobile devices to provide a consistent
experience regardless of how customers access it. The responsive design adapts to different
screen sizes, ensuring all product information and functionality is easily accessible on
smartphones and tablets.

To maintain a high level of customer satisfaction, the website features multiple channels of
customer support, including email, live chat, telephone, and social media. Any issues or
concerns are addressed promptly and professionally to our customer support.

Our proposed system addresses the challenges faced by existing online gaming stores, such as
limited payment options and poor user experience and interface design. We offer a wider
range of payment options for customers from different countries, and global shipping of
hardware devices like PCs and laptops. This ensures that our customers have access to a high-
quality online gaming store that meets their needs.

Our team worked collaboratively to ensure the success of the project, with each member
contributing their skills and expertise. We are confident that the proposed system will meet
the objectives of the project, which include increasing sales, expanding the customer base,
and improving user experience. We are excited about the future of Geek Store and the impact
it will have on the online gaming industry.
