Technology Stack
The project was developed using a traditional and robust technology stack, focusing on performance, lightweight delivery, and deep customization through an in-house MVC structure.
Backend
- PHP: The primary server-side programming language. The project does not use a complex commercial framework (like Laravel or Symfony), but rather implements its own lightweight Model-View-Controller (MVC) structure tailored strictly to specific needs.
Database
- MySQL / MariaDB: Relational database management system. The database connection is handled natively via PHP's `mysqli` extension.
Frontend
- HTML5 & CSS3: Structuring and base UI design. Custom stylesheets are used modularly for each view (`about.css`, `blog.css`, `course.css`).
- JavaScript: Employed for client-side interactivity.
- Bootstrap 4: CSS framework utilized to ensure a responsive, mobile-first design and consistent UI components across the platform.
