Note: MiLA is a fictional support centre created solely for this project. The MiLA website was initially deployed on Vercel with backend server on Vercel and database on Supabase. However, the website is no longer live (for obvious reasons). To explore the website, you can:

• View the design report, which includes commented screenshots of the website pages, or
• Run the project locally. Please note that the images were originally hosted on Supabase, so they will not display correctly. You can find all images and database schemas in the proper folder.
