The GODS website was a paid initiative for the Griffith Organised Debating Society under the direction of Josh Taylor (GODS President of 2010).
The website has two main functions:
- Firstly, to provide an outlet of GODS related information (such as news, events and competitions) to the public and members alike.
- Secondly, to provide a TAB (a system that manages internal competitions data).
The website features three area, one of the general public, one for the paid members of the society, and one for the GODS administrator.
The general public area allows access to everyone, giving the public the ability to learn about the Debating Society, find contact details, read about the external competitions that GODS participates in, public events (such as Charity and Comedy Nights) that GODS host, and membership details and benefits.
The members area allows paid members to receive special members only news and events, view members only resources (tips and tutorials), and look up their TAB results for previous debating weeks.
The administration area provides the GODS Admin the ability to maintain and adjust content on the website. It also contains the interface of the TAB system that is necessary to update the TAB database.
The website was created in Visual Studio 2008 using ASP.Net, AJAX, and MySQL Database.
