What kind of web site would benefit from being Ajax-enabled?
Ajax is about providing the user with an interface that is more application-like and less like a web page. So it stands to reason that web applications would be the best candidates for Ajaxification. More specifically any site that is dynamic in nature and requires a fair amount of user interaction is what we are talking about.For instance if your site is an online diary where the user simply reads what you have written – well not much use for Ajax here. But if users can respond and post comments then this might make it a candidate for a little Ajax.If on the other hand your site has lots of things that a user could be doing, some of which take awhile but can happen in the background, then you probably have an ideal candidate site for Ajaxification.
