In the Django project, Python served as the primary programming language, Leveraging the Django web framework, which is built with Python, I developed the website using its comprehensive set of tools and features like URL routing, database integration, and dynamic template rendering for error messages. HTML was utilised to define the website's structure and elements, including forms and layout, while CSS enhanced the visual presentation by defining styles, colours, and layouts for an appealing and user-friendly interface. The project's minimal database management relied on SQL.
