With the top-notch UI design requirement being compatible across different versions of all major browsers, maintaining a quick response time for the pages was essential. To achieve this, Ajax was extensively used with several optimization techniques and some of the controls being custom designed like drop downs, combos and data paging controls for fast response/load time. Several other Ajax controls were used to cater the rich UI requirements like Slide shows, image viewers, jQuery popups, animated accordion controls, and custom data paging controls. On the server side, ASP.NET was used for web application development.
