Overview
Morgan Stanley IT Department has lots of software products, and they wanted me to create a simple user interface on their home page, for user to browse with to get product information. Therefore, I created [Front Door], a web application that automatically pulls up information from a custom SharePoint list which is maintained by product support group.

[Front Door] has a simple interface for user to easily get product information, and its auto-update function saves huge amount of time for site administrator.
Design Process
• Created a custom Microsoft SharePoint list with products information,
• Created a SharePoint webpage, write AJAX and SOAP to pull up product information from the list,
• Designed HTML and CSS for webpage layout,
• Wrote EXT.js script language to create pop up window.
