 RadioRoster is a comprehensive web-based system designed to streamline the scheduling of radio shows and facilitate interaction with listeners through wishes and greetings. Our platform empowers radio stations and broadcasters to efficiently manage their programming while providing an engaging experience for their audience.
 
-### Prerequisites
+### Why PHP and Laravel?
+
+We have chosen PHP as our server-side scripting language primarily because it is widely supported by most shared web hosting providers. This allows RadioRoster to be easily deployed on various hosting environments, making it accessible to a broader audience.
 
-- PHP 8.1 or higher
-- Composer
-- MariaDB, PostgreSQL, SQLite or another compatible database
+In our search for a well-known and trusted PHP framework, Laravel emerged as the natural choice. Laravel is a highly regarded PHP framework for web applications, known for its elegant syntax, robust features, and developer-friendly environment. Many big companies trust Laravel for building scalable and efficient web applications.
