Architecture Symfony framework was adapted to release, host and scale the application without problem and maintain them over time. The design approach was built around PHP, AJAX and MySQL due to their performance, security, scalability and the nature of the website. In addition to this, development structure was built to adapt to market transition. In order to most effectively access the database in an object-oriented context, an interface translating the object logic to the relational logic was used to communicate with the relational databases in an object-oriented manner.

Flexible architecture ensured extensibility of the components or features.

Database specific layer initiated database communication and retrieval of complex data from multiple tables was facilitated through stored procedures and everywhere else conditional syntax was implemented to ensure seamless performance of the website.

Images, applications and data were called from their respective servers keeping the UI layer free of any business logic and scalability was guaranteed by implementing sub-domains for various areas of the website.
