That's exactly what I need which would be at the core of the website. So that would be one part of the solution I am looking for. As I mentioned in my first mail, these are my requirements: On 28 May 2011 17:47, Hameed <shaahulham...@gmail.com> wrote: > The website should support the following. > > A system for > > requests to be created by customers, > which get automatically assigned to engineers > request gets resolved by the assigned engineer > customer closes the request with a rating > Excellent Database support > both customers and engineers must be able to register / login to see the > status of their requests. > Automatic emails on request status > Generating Reports must be easy. > > 'Social' from the ground up. > > Easy Payment Gateway Integration > > 100,000+ Hits a day > > support for Great UI. More importantly, Changes to the UI must be very easy. What I am also looking for is the "web development framework" that would best support such ticketing systems in addition to other points mentioned above - so that the website development and maintenance become easy.
