wisely as per public opnions. This is the reason why complaint/query page in every
website or product is kept. Coming to example, we done the product in my company
regarding estimaton of profits to business. We done our product using very high level
concepts, then after giving presentations in california then they found difficulty in
using this product. So we modified the UI to make understand easy for public.
