Woodlands UC Website

The public-facing website prototype for Woodlands University College - a theoretical higher education institute based in the UK. Woodlands UC was the client for our second-year university group project module. This codebase, as well as the designs for the website, were my main contribution to the project.

This project is built using my lightweight, custom PHP framework CupOfPHP.

This website focuses on providing accessible and responsive content to many users be it visitors, prospectus students, donors/stakeholders, researches/academics, existing staff and students.

Deployment

This website was deployed using Docker on Digital Ocean.

2. In your terminal application, navigate to an empty directory and run vagrant init csy2028/current
3. Run vagrant up
4. Open MySQL Workbench and create a new connection using the DB information below
5. Back in the terminal application, navigate inside websites and run git clone git@github.com:jenewland1999/csy2027_as1 woodlands-uc
