The purpose of this website is to serve as an information portal for the user.

This site uses pure HTML with no script, flash or java functions meaning it generates low traffic and does not require plugins or fiddling with security settings in browsers making it accessible to the widest possible range of browsers.

It will provide articles and links to databases.

The site is divided into nine main categories which you can navigate on the left.

There is also a search option.

The links on the different categories are further sorted by subsections (eg. News, Books). Those will be expanded as the site grows and new subsections become available.

In real life we would use php (Hypertext Preprocessor, an open source, server-side, HTML embedded scripting language used to create dynamic Web pages) to create the pages. That would provide us with the advantage of not having to copy and paste the menu on the left into each page separately. It would be loaded from an include file to minimize work when maintaining the sections.

The links on the separate sections would be saved in a MySQL database to make life easy maintaining them. They would be loaded dynamically each time the page is viewed. To maintain them another PHP powered page would be used. You could insert, delete and update links. A complex search feature would be included to make handling ca. 25.000 links possible.
