Nowadays portals are being developed in a growing number and there are many HTML pages that get their content from a database. One of the special features of development of web applications is the quickly varying requirements. So the development of web applications contain short-time design and implementation with frequent feedback because we have to response immediately to the new ideas.

In this paper a particular system will be introduced which web applications can easily be developed with. Moreover, this development tool can be used by thin clients because the application and the database server run on a server.

With the application to be introduced, which has client-server architecture, HTML or PHP pages can be built in WYSIWYG way, so the new prototypes of application modules can be quickly made and tested. We can use components in the PHP pages so the view of the application is achieved by HTML while the model by PHP with embedded SQLs.

In the end we examine how our system supports building such portals that gain information of its pages from a database.
