WordPress: WordPress, a website creation service, allows users to not only upload and share content on a website, but with plugins such as bbPress, public messaging and interaction can be quickly established, just like any other forum.

This project requires multiple methods in order for it function properly. For starters, the host of the forum would have to pay for a domain provider like WordPress to host the website online. After obtaining that, they would have to use in an out of website messaging service to spread the link/sign up to the website to student’s in the pre-existing art league/group. This could easily be spread via a Discord server.

In the later half of the project’s lifespan, when the website is being archived, this is where the benefit of hosting an individual domain comes in. Management and preservation of the data stored on the website would be handled by the individuals running the server, meaning the website can be hosted as long as the admin/teacher running the server wishes/is able to financially.
