SUMMARY
The aim of this project was to produce an interactive web application that could be used by Leeds
University Union Men’s Association Football Club (LUUMAFC) to help with the management of the
club and dissemination of information to its members. Usability was a central focus of the project as
the application needed to be easy to set up and maintain by users with little or no technical expertise.
Background reading into the technologies available and what makes a web application easy to use
early in the project identified the need to utilise an MS SQL database and online administration
facility to maintain the content. Research into different development methodologies also identified the
Information Systems Development Life Cycle as the most suitable development model to follow
throughout the development.
User involvement throughout the development process was a priority so they were highly involved in
the requirements analysis and user evaluation stages. After the implementation a detailed evaluation
was conducted using user inspections and user testing techniques to evaluate the success of the
system. Finally, to support the Content Management System (CMS) produced a user manual was
created to assist the user.
