10 Create a company website with an inquiry form.

Analysing existing code:

1) Repetitive code:

Issue: Each location employments the same code that's

seen within the screenshot. All of the formats
incorporate the same login for the admin sub-nav bar.
The code for this site is scattered all through. The issue
with this method is that it may take two times as long
to construct the location since you'd got to put the
indistinguishable code to each page. An illustration of
this is often the header range on each page.

Solution: One arrangement to this issue is to set up a

common organizing page, which would comprise of a
single page presenting all the content that's moreover replicated on each page. Concurring to this,
all that's essential is to alter the substance and publish it into the format. Usually done by changing
the most substance of the format page to a variable. The variable will store the information from the
page.

Layout page showing solution:

Like you could see from the snapshot, the page's
title and primary content have been substituted
with two variables. Your blog will have this
design, and when you go across it, each webpage
will pass by with its own title and contents.

2) Future changes to the website:

Issue: If you wanted to change the opening hours' time or day, you would have to change each
page individually rather than just one thing.
Solution: You can substitute a function for this section of code and include the times in the
function.Then only one place in the function needs to be changed in the code.Another approach
is to have multiple functions, then simply call the function you want to modify.Since not all of
the functions will be used, there will be unused code as a result.

3) Admin Access:

Issue: Since it is set up as a whole new website, entering the admin section of the website
presents a challenge. The admin index publication's URL must be entered. The switch from the
administration site towards the user site is not seamless.

Solution: You can readily fix this by including further into admin panels main website. To enter
this, configure a button that opens the admin home panel. This may then have a login section,
making the website secure and inaccessible to visitors. This might save time while changing the
 layout of the website. They are able to share a layout page, so updates either need to be to be
made once rather than having to be made on both the administration and user sides.

4) Files stored in Public:

Issue: All of the platform's papers are in the public folder. By accessing every file's name, such as
Cars.je/AdminPage, everybody may see the file, putting your website at risk of hacking.
Solution: Only pages that the user needs to access should indeed be put in the document library
to resolve issue. Therefore, the one and only available to the public files in this case should be
the photos folder, CSS, and index files. Clients won't being able to view more pages without first
utilizing the index as a consequence.

5) Individual pages for manufacturers:

Issue: The website featured separate sites for each manufacturer, so if you intended to add a
new manufacturing to the website, you would be required to make a new webpage to show the
automobiles associated with that company.
Solution: Narrator can always just make a single page that gathers all the data, depending on the
manufacturer of the device. This may be done by include every manufacturer ID in the url and
ensuring that the right user visits. The listing will get a new manufacturer from relatively similar
database and follow procedure when you add one. After that, adding firms toward the page is
simple.

Evaluation
I will summarize and evaluate the site both before and after the changes in this section.
Before
The website's customer-facing section was well-designed, straightforward, and functional.Navigating
made it simple for me to locate what I was looking for.
Numerous flaws existed on the website, as previously mentioned.Due to the fact that I had to make
the same changes on multiple pages, making changes was difficult and time-consuming.Another
disadvantage of this website is that in order to view the administrator's index page, you must quickly
enter the URL.Customers won't be able to access her website's administration pages otherwise.
I find the viewing options and functionality of the website to be extremely limited.For instance, if I
wanted to include a new manufacturer, I could, but visitors to my website wouldn't be able to see
the cars made by that manufacturer because the manufacturer didn't have a website.
After
It is simple to add new pages and features to the website as needed due to its current structure.The
site's direct link to the admin page makes it simple for an administrator user to switch between her
two sections of the site.Instead of changing the URL, admin users can now switch quickly with a
button click, saving a lot of time when adding details, completing tasks, and reviewing
changes.increase.
The website's code is clear and well-organized, making it suitable for further modification.You can
quickly find the files you need to make the changes you want by using the site's directory
division.For instance, locating the page in the template files file and making the necessary
adjustments is all that is required to make a textual update to the content.

Adding a new feature or making changes to the website now takes four times as long as it did before
because it focuses on only needing to make the change once on the website.
There is still room for improvement in this code;For instance, requires can be used to add sub-
navigation bars.This will further reduce code that is used over and over. A fresh update may be
made to the index page, which now employs a lengthy if statement.It's possible for a website to
operate with just one point of access and to utilize $_GET variables to identify this same requested
page.After this was called, functionality would be added to the content.As a result, there is no longer
a need for a lengthy If statement, which cuts down on the number the of code in the index file.
