DJBeat.net is a social network tailored for music producers and DJs, showcasing original multimedia content like digital music, videos, and graphics. With a structure akin to Facebook or MySpace, it provides a platform for creatives in the music industry. The project involved creating the site using a free, open-source Social Network PHP script called Dolphin, though faced challenges with nameservers and web hosting limitations, which are being addressed for a smoother user experience. Through this project, valuable lessons were learned about PHP programming, site layout, and web hosting, guiding future improvements and development plans for DJBeat.net.
