ii) Responsive Design: Compatible with desktops, tablets, and mobile browsers
iii) Browser Support: Fully compatible with Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge (latest two versions)
iv) URL Accessibility: Accessible via a secure HTTPS domain (custom domain support preferred)
v) No Plugins Required: Should function without needing third-party browser plugins or Flash
b) Frontend Technologies
i) Built with a modern JavaScript framework: React, Vue.js, or Angular
ii) Supports dynamic page updates (SPA or PWA optional but preferred)
iii) Optimized for fast loading and minimal bandwidth usage
c) Backend Technologies
i) RESTful or GraphQL API-driven backend
ii) Backend stack should be scalable (e.g., Node.js, Django, .NET Core)
iii) Support for asynchronous processing (e.g., for sending receipts, notifications)
d) Hosting & Deployment
i) Cloud Deployment: Preferred on AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud (or support for self-hosting)
ii) CI/CD Support: Automated deployments with version control (Git, GitHub, GitLab, etc.)
iii) Scalability: Horizontal scaling support for increased traffic and load
iv) Uptime Guarantee: 99.5%+ recommended (with SLA if hosted by vendor)
