Project main features

The website was to act as an informational hub for students past and present – a closed social network if you like. We employed a number of tools to achieve this:

Student Logins, Profile and CV editing
Bulletin boards and private messaging
Events and ticket booking
News updates

We built the site on WordPress, utilizing full functionality from BuddyPress, allowing students to take control of their profiles, browse other user’s profiles and interact on a range of topics on the Bulletin Board. The Programme were able to login themselves and create Events, allow students to sign up to these events and to publish news stories of interest to the Community.
