Project Overview

Why Music Festivals?

We did not decide on a specific topic at first because we did not have much in common. Furthermore, generally speaking, we share a strong interest in music, so that is why we chose this theme for the project. The theme of music festivals in the Netherlands was chosen by our group. The main goal of this project is to create a website for future festivals in the Netherlands that would provide a discount for students. We'll also provide some details on the performer, as well as timetables and festival information.

Target User

Festival events in the Netherlands are featured on this upcoming web page. It's geared towards students who want to know more about the events and get a better deal on tickets.
