I am supposed to develop a website for my final year project in the university.I have no idea of a product people would buy which is not a game. Will it be a good idea if i develop it for plain end-users only and not for the developers?I would like to use a shopping cart in my website as well.

I hope that somebody can give me advice. Thank You.

I would consider building a real-world web site for someone like a charitable organisation. Make it informational, with perhaps an online donation form, or an order form if they do any merchandising. There are a large number of charities who don't have the funds to build a site, and would appreciate help from a volunteer. They win because they get a site for nothing, you win because you get a great, realistic project which won't just be left unused when finished.

Ditto. At a university there are plenty of organizations that would love to have a simple website go up. Make that your project and everyone gains.

You could of course make a resource site with a forum on it containing help and things.

The uni may even integrate it into its network and you could scrounge some browy points.

Grab your school yearbook for the prior year.
Flip over to the pages for organizations.
Determine which groups are in the yearbook AND do not already have a web presence.
Start making contacts to pitch your "I code for grades" project that will also be a good deal for them.

On the off chance every school group already has a web site, switch mode to local not for profits or mom-n-pop shops.

There's always more than one way to bake a cake.
