Part of the unit 2 coursework is too investigate a transactional website in detail and evaluate the key features of its design. Although it may sound obvious, to help clarify the project outline here is an official definition of what a transactional website actually is:
"A website which involves a biodirectional flow of data, typically to and from a database. Customers need to be able to not only look up information already on the site but, also add new information of their own"
Since I'm here I might as well practise my quoting skills we will need for the coursework - just in case for some outrageous reason the Exexcell examiners think I'm cheating =) - here you go.

This is effectively online business designed to handle and process all of the consumer/firm transactions that would occur over the Internet. This holds a vast variety of advantages (and of course some disadvantages) for both consumers and the firm operating the website. These will be explained latter.
