For the purpose of overcoming the high investment barrier in small-sized and middle-sized Architect/Engineering/Construction (AEC) firms, a WPMS system was designed. The designed WPMS system includes almost core features which can provide user a flexible, efficiently, and friendly operation. The WPMS system helps project managers to improve projects‟ communication efficiency; meanwhile, task reworking and rescheduling are diminished. Furthermore, the rest features which do not consist in the designed WPMS can be enhanced by commercial office tools or some other web free applications (email, chatting, Skype, schedule management, etc.).
Finally, a comparison between the designed WPMS and some prototype Project Management-Application Service Providers (PM-ASPs) is conducted to assure that the designed WPMS can properly fulfill user‟s requirements with its functions.
