Final Year Project - Website Content Management System

Designed and wrote a website and website content management system for the campus radio station, Xpression FM, using HTML, PHP, and MySQL. The project improved my skills in requirements gathering through discussing the specification of the system with a real client, the radio station. The final build of the development site can be found at http://dev.durrans.com/xpression and the site has now been signed over to the Xpression Internet team and gone live at http://www.xpressionfm.com.
