The website is a failure. I have adobe professional which I use in my business. I can create a form in 10 minutes which can capture data and put the same on an excel spread sheet on the back end. If you link the data fields to a sequel server database there is little or no restriction on concurrent users.
The website presented was illogical and clearly showed that the developers were not professionals with experience. The government bidding process is flawed where the cheapest price does not bring the quality which is required. This was a 600 million dollar bid, and if this was turned over to a google, amazon, or yahoo the result would have been a working emcommerce site delivered on time with proper logic on the web interface.
This type of SNAFU is happening regularly in government. It is time to really to question how bids are secured by government......the system is broken.
I have a friend who is a defense contractor. The generals came to him through 400k paid to a lobbyist and they spec a machine for the defense department. They bid it after they have guided my friend to design the machine and build a prototype which met all their specs. The prior provider for the machine billed defense over a 100k for the machine. My friend asks them what should I bid, and they say the same as the big defense contractor. He wins based on the specs which his machine was the only one who met them. He now puts 80k profit in his pocket on every machine, and they have ordered over 240. The system of bidding is broken. The system of lobbyist and the connections which secure bids from government is broken. We could easily save 15% of expenditures of this country if this topic was a priority. Some think this is about Obama.....it is rather indicative of a broken and corrupt bidding system which is making some rich and killing the American taxpayer.
