[AccessD] OT: Visio / web UI question

I have been asked to think about building a low-budget CAD-like interface,
very primitive, in which the components you might consider are rectangles,
basically, that you can assemble in various configurations. You could think
of it as the layout for a shelf system. You can make L shapes and extend a
shelf linearly by abutting two shelves and so on. Doesn't need to be 3-D,
just needs to correspond visually to the dimensions of the selected units.
The user could select any combination of units and position them this way
and that, move them, save that version, move them again, copy selected
L-shaped object and then paste it over here, save that, print quotes for
both configurations, log off and revisit previous configurations, and
ultimately perhaps, buy one.

Can Visio work over the net? I can see Visio filling the bill, we could just
create shapes corresponding to the shelf units from the various
manufacturers, and you could position them any way you want. We already have
a license for Visio, an important consideration.

If not Visio, can you suggest some other way of approaching this problem
with minimal investment in software?
