VeSPA Website Enhancements and VeSPAbot

Abstract

For our term project, for our Multimedia/Hypertext/Information Access capstone, our group took the task of revamping the Virginia eSports Association’s website, www.vespa.org.vt.edu. After looking at their website extensively, we decided the focus of our updates would be on providing better publicity for the organization and making a much more usable interface with a few key features. VeSPA wanted us to keep the website based on a Wordpress blog to promote simple upkeep and updates. In addition, they wanted us to create a “Bot” to help with the chat monitoring and manipulation during streaming sessions.
