Event Portal Project

This is a conceptual design for a content management website called Event Portal, which showcases a variety of events and facilitates registration and promotion.

In this design document, listings and forms are illustrated with random pictures simply to help students visualize and easily grasp the design concept. Students should conduct application requirement gathering and definition of database, and they should work out a detailed specification on their own.

Students also are encouraged to add innovative twists to their applications.

This Event Portal should include, but not limited to, the components and features as below

1. Convenient browsing such as drop-down menus by locations, types, categories and so on.

2. Easy navigation throughout the website, such as links on the header and footer, or buttons at easy-to-see locations, etc.

3. There should be a sign-up and a login pages.

4. User console: users log in to create or edit events, review registrations or payments, etc.

5. Admin console: site admins log in to edit or delete events, review registrations, and administer user accounts

6. Registration process: registration form, confirmation page and email

7. The website should be mobile friendly by applying responsive design.
