This is a Content management System, which basically provides services like
Creating websites, subsites under main sites and also managing the websites and contents of the websites, those are created already.

The application is a CMS product having almost all the common and advanced features of a Content Management System product. There are basically two modes to login to the application, Admin and User. Users have to purchase the license of the product and will get access to User mode. In User mode users can manage their contents by creating sites and subsites and modifying the
sites/subsites contents. In Admin mode, there is full control of the Users and user features can be manipulated in Admin mode.

The Ajax-enabling of the product is being carried out at a level deeper than applying cosmetic touch-ups,involving design changes, replacing clumsy legacy dialogs with faster and more intuitive user interaction, eliminating page-load overkill, using a diverse suite of Ajax patterns (dynamic popups, progress indicators, drag-and-drop, live search, etc), resulting in highly improved usability and customer satisfaction.

Health-care
Technologies:
ASP.NET, AJAX, JavaScript, CSS, DOM manipulation, XHTML, XML

This is an Electronic Health Records solution to capture, manage, exchange and store patient information through automating the process. This feature-rich suite of software is available as a service which can schedule appointments, chart patient information, write prescriptions, bill patients, file claims, etc.

Data-heavy, time-consuming modules of this online medical application are Ajax'ed using on-demand data retrieval and transparent background database save and cleanup resulting in an application that is significantly lighter and faster. Using from-the-scratch Ajax, XML data is asynchronously sent to and retrieved from the server, parsed, and the DOM manipulated with dynamic clean-up, style changes, and creation of new elements enabling further, faster, and more intuitive user interaction.

Classic ASP, ASP.NET, JavaScript, CSS, and DOM manipulation is used for developing web-pages requiring extensive user interaction, data management and rendering. Ajax technologies are used to modernize the existing site using a suite of popular Ajax patterns (e.g. providing feedback using GUI widgets while waiting for a time-consuming server response thereby minimizing perceived delay).
