This site was created as a term project for COSC 360 - Web Programming. We have learned a great deal in the process, and are very proud of what we have built. We achieved a total grade of 99% for this project across its four milestones.

🔗 Live site (Will work while the site is still hosted on UBC's servers, probably until 2026)
- Front-end: Pure HTML, CSS and JavaScript.
- Back-end: LAMP Stack (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP).
No front-end or back-end frameworks were used for this project (as per course instructions). Because of this, we organized it with our own implementation of the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern.
