Basically it’s a relatively new technology for building websites that can have dynamic content, such as feature boxes, menus, or tabs that slide into place on your site with a groovy effect. It can also allow you to load content on your website without refreshing the entire page, which means faster loading for your visitors, which is always a good thing.You’ve probably ran into AJAX technology already on site such as Facebook, Youtube, or Flickr and didn’t even know it.
We’ve recently decided to up our commitment to this new AJAX technology. Based on the current trends of the web, javascript technology, such as AJAX, will play a large role in the future of websites.
