ABSTRACT
This project work focuses on the
creation of a website and e-portal for the institute of Technology in order to
enhance communication and improve the educational system of Kwara State
Polytechnic. A website is a collection of web pages, images, video and other
digital assets that hosted on one or several web server, usually accessible via
the internet, cell phone or a LAN.
The pages of website can usually be
accessed from a common root URL called the homepage, and usually be residing on
the same physical serve. The URL of the pages organized them into a hierarchy,
although the hyperlinks between them control how the reader perceivers the
overall structure and how the traffic flows between the different part of the
sites. The institute website and e-portal has been developed using HTML, CSS
and JavaScript as the front end, PHP as the back End MySQL as the Database.
It follows the three tier
architecture with PHP for coding and providing the classes for database
connectivity.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
Today, websites are efficient tool
of communication within society. For example, when people need
information a company, institution of learning or on organization , most of
