Abstract - The Ulavan Peanut Product Website is developed to create a web-based platform for selling natural peanut products online. The main objective of this system is to provide customers with healthy and chemical-free food products while enabling producers to sell their products directly without the involvement of middlemen. This approach helps improve product accessibility and ensures fair pricing for both producers and customers. The website provides a simple and user-friendly interface where users can view different peanut products and access important details such as product name, image, price and description. Customers can easily browse available products and place orders through the online platform and making the purchasing process more convenient. The system is developed using HTML, CSS and Bootstrap 5 for designing the frontend interface. Python Flask is used for backend development to manage system operations, and MySQL through XAMPP is used for database management to store product information, user details, and order data securely. Overall, the proposed website provides an efficient platform for selling peanut products and improving customer access to natural and healthy food items.

1.2 Theoretical framework

ThetheoreticalframeworkofthestudyexplainsthestructureandfunctioningoftheUlavanPeanutProductWebsite.The systemisbasedontheconceptofane-commerceplatformthatenablesproducerstoselltheirproductsdirectlytocustomers through an online interface. The framework of the system consists of three main components: the user interface, the applicationserver,andthedatabasemanagementsystem.

The user interface is developed using HTML, CSS, and Bootstrap 5, which provides a responsive and user-friendly environmentforcustomerstobrowseavailablepeanutproducts[4].Throughthisinterface,userscanviewproductdetails suchasproductname,image,priceanddescription.Theinterfaceisdesignedtoimproveusabilityandallowcustomersto easilynavigatethroughthewebsite.

ThebackendofthesystemisdevelopedusingPythonFlask,whichactsastheserver-sideframework.Flaskmanagesthe communicationbetweentheuserinterfaceandthedatabasebyprocessinguserrequestssuchasviewingproducts,placing orders,andmanaginguserinformation.Thisensurestheproperfunctioningofthewebapplication.

ThedatabasecomponentisimplementedusingMySQLthroughXAMPP.Thedatabasestoresalltherequiredinformation includingproductdetails,userregistrationdata,andorderrecords.Thisstructuredstorageallowsefficientmanagementand retrievalofinformationwheneverrequired.

Theintegrationofthesetechnologiesprovidesa reliableandefficientsystemforpromotingandsellingnatural peanut products online. The framework supports smooth interaction between users and the system while ensuring proper data managementandsystemfunctionality.
