The back end of the website was written in C# and the front end was written in HTML/CSS/Javascript. We used SQL Server 2012 as our storage system.

We developed the website using Microsoft Visual Studio 2012. We used Enterprise Architect to aid architecture design. The whole system is divided into 3 layers:

  • Presentation Layer (the website)
  • Business Logic Layer
  • Data Access Layer
