We have been blessed to work with a client that is open-minded regarding technology, and has signed-up with us to develop a brand new web application that entirely embraces Usability and Ajax. They already have a desktop thick-client (which we have helped them build), and they wish to replicate much of the rich User Experience found on the desktop in the new Online version. However, as we have gotten further into the process of design and construction, the client has gotten a little jittery now that it has become clear that we are actually talking about an entirely new paradigm for web applications.
